Dozens of #Russians are stuck in U.S. detention despite winning the right to enter, some separated from children as young as 2. One immigrant, HIV+ with a heart condition, is deteriorating after two hunger strikes.

Yes, #healthcare is on the ballot this November!
🚨 New on Code WACK! 🚨
What's at stake in healthcare with the upcoming election? Could Trump try to repeal the ACA again? Will Kamala Harris fight to lower drug prices? What about Biden-era policies like affordable insurance & reproductive care?

So sorry to hear this, Christine. May your next adventure be even more fulfilling and aligned for you. 🙏
Sad to say I was among those laid off by @WSJ yesterday.
It was a dream working with such smart, talented, and fearless journalists covering a state I love.
A DM I got today from a Palestinian journalist in Ramallah. “The truth is that here in #Palestine, no one is fine. And also in #Israel, the people are also complicated. No one is fine. We must scream together. Down with Netanyahu. Let this war stop. Enough death for everyone.”
He said education has ground to a halt in Gaza. All the schools and universities are closed to house refugees or have been damaged/destroyed by the war.
He also said that a single cigarette now costs some 2,000 shekels in Gaza. When he visited last year, he could buy 20 cigarettes for 10 shekels.
