Hey, it's the holidays and you may be in the giving mood.

If so, you should forgive some medical debt by donating to @RIPMedicalDebt: ripmedicaldebt.org/donate/

You may recognize them from @LastWeekTonight.

If not, here's what they do:

(Thread incoming)

Roughly 137 million American adults faced financial hardship due to medical costs this year.

That's nearly two-thirds of ALL Americans over 18.

Many of them liquidated things that would be unthinkable for some of us - house, savings, etc - to pay it.

One in every 127 Wisconsin residents tested positive for COVID JUST THIS WEEK.

And some of these people are still probably a week-plus away from hitting an already overloaded hospital system.

Please stay home. Please wear a mask. Here's a highly imperfect but sobering way to think about this:

Check how many Facebook friends you have.

Divide that number by the number in your state. Round to whatever number you get, and that's how many people you know got COVID just this week.

A brief John Lewis story:

He came to speak at convocation my freshman year at MU. He was inspiring, witty, powerful; all the things you'd expect.

When I met up with my parents the next day, I asked what they were up to. My dad said "had a great chat with John Lewis."

(1/x) Turns out that some of dad's high school friends met Lewis at an early Civil Rights protest. Mind you, this was some 50 years ago.

My dad stopped Lewis and thanked him for coming. Said his friends spoke very highly of Lewis.

Last year, Villanova outscored Marquette 156-113 in the first 34 minutes of the teams' two games.

In the last six minutes, #mubb outscored Nova 42-9. Ever since Villanova entered the new #BIGEAST in 2013-14, they've only lost at home three times.

All four of their home games against #mubb in that time have resulted in double-digit Wildcat wins.
