I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

The Reason Why Colleges Still Fail to Address Sexual Violence
The “Cornell Seven” case highlights what’s wrong with Trump’s Title IX rules — and how the system was always designed to fail.

The impact that Assata Shakur has on me as a man is immeasurable. She is one of the most important Black revolutionaries to have ever lived. My daughter Diani recited one of her speeches as an intro for my latest album with Madlib, Liberation 2. Rest in power sister Assata. youtu.be/joD3kNzRphE?...

Such a good point. We often do this in public health too. We implicitly -sometimes explicitly- reduce the socioeconomic determinants of health to poverty and we forget the social bit. Our societal divisions are rooted in ideology not only deprivation. Denial of this harms our efforts towards equity.

"We have to understand that the climate movement’s strength comes from being a moral and a human movement, not exclusively one that is about science and technology. If we’re not strengthening that and proving that all the time, I don’t know where we’ll be, especially at this level of chaos."

The Climate Movement Should Become a Human Movement
It needs to tap into our emotional life in ways that will link us to material struggles rather than distract us from them.

We already see the shutdown's cost. Kids with drug-resistant TB, turned away from clinics, are not just dying - they're spreading the disease. People around the world w HIV, denied their medicine, will soon start transmitting virus. The damage is global.

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s *especially* important for Democrats to act.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

All of Trump's picks to lead health agencies have either spread anti-vaccine disinformation, opposed lifesaving public health measures during the pandemic, or promoted false health claims and unproven products. A Trump administration endangers the health of every person.
