After over two long years, we finally won the case against our landlord. But predictably because it dragged on, additional attorney fees and court costs were incurred. Amid that, I had to deal with my hours being cut at my existing job. I was lucky if I was even scheduled for at least 10 hours a week. Due to both of these circumstances, we have fallen behind on rent.
We took in a roommate familiar with housing insecurity to alleviate rental expenses. This person then thanked us by exposing us to COVID-19 and skipping out on their final rent payment. Among other violations that are way too traumatic to list here (including theft). This was made worse by the fact that they lied about making past payments. Their so-called payments had bounced back and triggered NSF and returned payment fees. The notice we received this past Friday sent us for a loop, as we didn’t even know we had a balance.
So, as you can imagine, the situation is quite dire. We bought ourselves some more time to figure something out, but the hard deadline for delivering all monies owed—in the amount of $4,736.80—to our current landlord/property management company is Tuesday, September 10 at 12:00pm EST before the lease is terminated and eviction proceedings begin.
The short notice isn’t ideal, but we’ve maxed out every resource we could find or qualify for.
We’re aware times are hard, but if you can at least share the link to this GoFundMe, we would be eternally grateful.
I am Mahmoud's wife. Unfortunately, I wanted to inform you that my husband Mahmoud was injured in the head, which caused a skull fracture that descended onto the nerves of the brain and affected the nerves of speech, hearing, and sight.
Mahmoud's condition is very critical and he must go abroad for treatment. He was injured 3 days ago and underwent surgery to clean his head. The doctors are telling us that he needs to undergo a major operation to remove the shrapnel or fix it to the skull bone so that no nerves in the brain are cut off.
Please donate and share this post widely so that we can get my husband out and receive treatment abroad.

They're #62 on this doc. By el-shab-hussein/ Nabulsi. This is their new campaign since they had to close the old one bc of issues with the bank. Please please support
btw its actually crazy that plantation tours are a thing that exist in the u.s. and that theyre not all set up like memorials similar to concentration camp museums like how is this marketed as a chill tourist activity or wedding destination and not extremely disturbing and depressing to see. worthless country
Imagine that you are asleep and wake up to the sound of a belt of fire near you and one of your relatives becomes a martyr😔💔.
This happened to us tonight. What is our fault that we live under genocide every day? Every second we are exposed to danger and face death in all its forms.
The Al-Mawasi massacre, in which tents were buried in sand, resulted in more than 75 casualties, including martyrs, missing persons, and injured. This is not the first massacre, and it may not be the last, and we may be among the martyrs in the next massacre
This is the family martyr, the child Salem Al-Shaer. He is my father’s cousin .😭😭🕊️🕊️One of the innocent victims of this massacre.
I do not want to be one of the victims in this war. I do not want to be a number. I and my family want to live with my family in safety. Please, I ask for your help after all paths have been cut off. Please help me and my family to get out of here before it is too late, before I become one of the missing or in pieces. Please, help me and my family to get out of here before it is too late. Before I become missing or in pieces. Please.😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹
Help me reach the campaign goal as soon as possible. We cannot wait more than 11 months for this genocide without stopping. What else does the world expect from us?

I'm not sure if USAmericans just aren't able to pick up on this - maybe some nationalistic feeling stirs in you when you hear about The Troops - but she is saying, very explicitly, that she intends to violently reinforce the US's military occupation and domination over the rest of the world. She is saying she will use the US military to kill the rest of us if we try to shrug off US imperialism. She explicitly names China, which is to mean communism, as the threat to the US's global dominance.
When she talks about a sacred obligation, she is inferring that you, citizens of the USA, are fully behind this push to bomb and kill the rest of us if we resist your empire. To those outside that chanting rally, are you? Is this the charge you are willing to stand behind?
i genuinely don’t think the haitians eating pets lie is something that should be laughed off bc the rhetoric literally rooted in some of the worst acts of colonial violence known to man but i just know liberals are going to try and meme it away. this isn’t a funny haha republicans are so stupid thing this is a hey they are trying to justify a resurgence of specific atrocities against this specific group of people
there's this annoying thing that companies do where they pretend like having military veterans in their workforce counts as diversity. not only does having state-sanctioned serial killers in your workplace not count as diversity because they already get special benefits and privileges, but it also makes everyone else very uncomfortable!
This is a very bad take because 1. Minorities enlist at enormous rates because they have no other options and 2. The poor enlist at enormous rates because they have no other options
everyone who enlists in the us military should die. I don't feel any more comfortable around someone who murders people in the global south just because they're a minority
And even if the military were 100% black or some shit, that wouldn't make them a race or any other kind of minority, nor would it justify being a lackey for imperialism. It'd be just as fucking stupid to argue that cops are a minority and protected class because there are cops that are minorities sometimes and that people, very justifiably, do not fucking like them. That's both reactionary and fucking stupid.
Hey y'all, now is a particularly good time to show solidarity with the Haitian refugee community of Ohio by donating to groups working on their behalf like The Haitian Bridge Alliance or Advocates for Basic Legal Equity.
The Republican goons are trying to stir up a racist hate mob against them based on extremely sinister lies. To hell with the sorts of people who want racist violence and for those of us nowhere near Ohio, this sort of donation is a decent way of telling both the Haitian community and their tormentors that we have the backs of refugees.
Sohad's family is in Ghazza, suffering under the onslaught by the occupation. They have lost their source of income, their home, and were displaced four times under threat of the bombings.
They currently live in a tent which has none of the basic nessities or amenities of life; no food, no water, no bathroom or shower.
Some of Sohad's family also has special needs which can't be met in these horrible conditions. His mother has Osteoarthritis in her knee and can't move easily, and his nephew Kareem has cerebral palsy which causes muscle spasms and requires medicine and a special diet for him to live healthily. Both of Sohad's parents have also become ill.
Hello everyone,
I am Sohad Mahmoud, I am fundraising for my family, my parents, and my two br… Sohad Mahmoud needs your support
In order to help Sohad's family evacuate and rebuild their lives, they need to raise €20,000. As of now, please €8,270.
Everyone, please help this family. Donate if you can and share their campaign. Please do whatever you can to help them.
Opinion Here’s how to get free Paxlovid as many times as you need it
When the public health emergency around covid-19 ended, vaccines and treatments became commercial products, meaning companies could charge for them as they do other pharmaceuticals. Paxlovid, the highly effective antiviral pill that can prevent covid from becoming severe, now has a list price of nearly $1,400 for a five-day treatment course.
Thanks to an innovative agreement between the Biden administration and the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, Americans can still access the medication free or at very low cost through a program called Paxcess. The problem is that too few people — including pharmacists — are aware of it.
I learned of Paxcess only after readers wrote that pharmacies were charging them hundreds of dollars — or even the full list price — to fill their Paxlovid prescription. This shouldn’t be happening. A representative from Pfizer, which runs the program, explained to me that patients on Medicare and Medicaid or who are uninsured should get free Paxlovid. They need to sign up by going to paxlovid.iassist.com or by calling 877-219-7225. “We wanted to make enrollment as easy and as quick as possible,” the representative said.
Indeed, the process is straightforward. I clicked through the web form myself, and there are only three sets of information required. Patients first enter their name, date of birth and address. They then input their prescriber’s name and address and select their insurance type.
All this should take less than five minutes and can be done at home or at the pharmacy. A physician or pharmacist can fill it out on behalf of the patient, too. Importantly, this form does not ask for medical history, proof of a positive coronavirus test, income verification, citizenship status or other potentially sensitive and time-consuming information.
But there is one key requirement people need to be aware of: Patients must have a prescription for Paxlovid to start the enrollment process. It is not possible to pre-enroll. (Though, in a sense, people on Medicare or Medicaid are already pre-enrolled.)
Once the questionnaire is complete, the website generates a voucher within seconds. People can print it or email it themselves, and then they can exchange it for a free course of Paxlovid at most pharmacies.
Pfizer’s representative tells me that more than 57,000 pharmacies are contracted to participate in this program, including major chain drugstores such as CVS and Walgreens and large retail chains such as Walmart, Kroger and Costco. For those unable to go in person, a mail-order option is available, too.
The program works a little differently for patients with commercial insurance. Some insurance plans already cover Paxlovid without a co-pay. Anyone who is told there will be a charge should sign up for Paxcess, which would further bring down their co-pay and might even cover the entire cost.
Several readers have attested that Paxcess’s process was fast and seamless. I was also glad to learn that there is basically no limit to the number of times someone could use it. A person who contracts the coronavirus three times in a year could access Paxlovid free or at low cost each time.
Unfortunately, readers informed me of one major glitch: Though the Paxcess voucher is honored when presented, some pharmacies are not offering the program proactively. As a result, many patients are still being charged high co-pays even if they could have gotten the medication at no cost.
This is incredibly frustrating. However, after interviewing multiple people involved in the process, including representatives of major pharmacy chains and Biden administration officials, I believe everyone is sincere in trying to make things right. As we saw in the early days of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, it’s hard to get a new program off the ground. Policies that look good on paper run into multiple barriers during implementation.
Those involved are actively identifying and addressing these problems. For instance, a Walgreens representative explained to me that in addition to educating pharmacists and pharmacy techs about the program, the company learned it also had to make system changes to account for a different workflow. Normally, when pharmacists process a prescription, they inform patients of the co-pay and dispense the medication. But with Paxlovid, the system needs to stop them if there is a co-pay, so they can prompt patients to sign up for Paxcess.
Here is where patients and consumers must take a proactive role. That might not feel fair; after all, if someone is ill, people expect that the system will work to help them. But that’s not our reality. While pharmacies work to fix their system glitches, patients need to be their own best advocates. That means signing up for Paxcess as soon as they receive a Paxlovid prescription and helping spread the word so that others can get the antiviral at little or no cost, too.
Holy shit, please reblog this. This is incredibly useful information! Paxlovid not only helps reduce the severity of covid but also goes a decent way to preventing long covid. I cannot stress this enough — even if you think this isn’t relevant to you because you’re perfectly healthy, you could get covid TOMORROW and permanently have long covid a month from today if you got unlucky.
And, of course, if you suspect you have covid, take a test or see a doctor ASAP. Paxlovid MUST be taken within the first five days of developing symptoms. The Paxcess copay card seems really easy and quick to fill out, though!
entering this great new phase of my life where, when someone treats me like shit, instead of going "oh man I guess I'm a piece of shit" I can whole-heartedly go "christ alive, what is wrong with you? you can't treat people like that" and it may sound simple but it took a long time to get here and there's no fucking way I'm going back
I really do understand, even empathize with people who are voting for kamala/dems but I really wish you guys wouldn't say this is for Palestine/Palestinians because there's not a reality in which that's true. I live in the US as a citizen so I'd suffer under a Trump presidency too (which I already experienced) so it's not like I have no stakes in the matter, I just abhor the thought of voting for the people who are directly involved in my people's slaughter.
This post is not an excuse to tell me why you're voting for kamala. Because at the end of the day I will never not remind you that you are still voting for our people's genocider.
