“I am a 76 year old man who lives in NYC. A panhandler asked me for money and I refused. The only thing I remember is feeling a sharp pain in my torso … blood everywhere. I have no family to turn to. I am hoping that my fellow New Yorkers can help me.” gofundme.com/f/bd8mh-stabbin…

Today's decision to gut #AffirmativeAction is shameful and adds to a list of decisions that reverse equitable progress & decimate protections ensuring equal rights and opportunity for the most marginalized in America.

I need financially stable people to understand the obstacle courses poor people face when we try to climb the ladder. Here's an ex.:
I bought an as-is house in 2019 that needed $50k in repairs. How? Long story short: my dad died & I got SSDI, leading to a good down-payment.

Nearly 1 million pounds of vinyl chloride were on this train. Now, the EPA has confirmed it's entered the Ohio River basin which is home to 25 million people.
This is one of the deadliest environmental emergencies in decades and no one is talking about it.
