Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

Black communities' vulnerability to climate change is not by accident. It was built through government decisions about where to invest and which communities to protect. From Gary, IN to Flint, MI to New Orleans, LA — the story repeats itself. Climate adaptation must become a civil rights priority.

Racist policy caused climate vulnerability. Restorative policy is the remedy.
Climate adaptation must become a civil rights project.

A real successful 1A day here on campus. Heavy hitters. Big student turnout. Engaged questions. My notes for the academic freedom panel is a sort of Cliff Notes of how I approach this thing. This is it. My whole talk.
Notes app reads: Neoliberalism weaponizes bias to justify austerity. Austerity creates corporate universities. Corporate universities are unhealthy organizations. Unhealthy organizations cannot inculcate or defend academic freedom. Without academic freedom to check administrative power,  corporate universities will translate austerity into financialized predation. Predation undermines public trust in higher education. Death spiral accelerates.
