“Generally speaking, gay people come out of the closet, straight people walk around the closet, and bisexuals have to be told to look for the closet. We are too preoccupied with shifting.”—daisy hernandez #PrideMonth2024 beacon.org/A-Cup-of-Water…

"A highly-readable book, which is laced with human stories and chilling insights about health inequity in the U.S., is lyrical and riveting... a cri de coeur for health as a universal human right." MedPage Today on The Kissing Bug by daisy hernandez✨ medpagetoday.com/popmedicine/po…

Last month, a Palestinian girl survived a missile strike in Gaza. Her brothers died, and she couldn’t get medical care for a month. Netanyahu is a war criminal. It’s a shame he is addressing our Congress. Our tax dollars should not be spent on killing children.

Joining me in the chamber today is Hani Almadhoun, who has lost over 150 members of his extended family in Netanyahu’s genocide. After witnessing his sister forced to eat animal feed, he and his family were determined to start a soup kitchen to feed their starving neighbors.

Al Jazeera reporter captures arrest of two women wearing hijabs during Palestinian solidarity protests in the US city of Chicago. The women were among several people filming demonstrations at a train station despite restrictions, but it was unclear why they were singled out.

I know for a fact that the Democratic Party did not act in good faith and continue to lie about the negotiations. They are exposing themselves.

Starting a thread with my book events and links as they become available. This is the full list so far
