Experiencing all this flooding in NYC right now and thinking about all the politicians who told me that pursuing a Green New Deal to adapt our nat’l infrastructure to climate change is “unrealistic” & “too expensive.” As if doing too little is the responsible, adult thing to do?

These things keep happening over night. But they absolutely did not happen overnight. True of abortion, true of climate change. We wake up to individual horrors because so many were comfortable/powerful enough to sleep soundly through decades of alarms.

I rarely post anything personal but last year my son was diagnosed with a catastrophic form of epilepsy called Doose Syndrome. Please support my fundraising campaign for CURE Epilepsy: igfn.us/vf/CUREepileps… /

as abolitionists are constantly reminding us, this is the criminal justice system working as intended, protecting property and sanctioning fascist violence

peace to #AhmaudArbery; these guilty verdicts are neither justice nor reparation. #abolition means addressing the condition that created these three killers, whose unapologetic antiblack animus is the signature of this moment, prior moments, future moments

#ICYMI Check out our webinar on Disparities in Epilepsy. Increasing awareness and knowledge of social factors in epilepsy is the first step to eliminating disparities and improving care and outcomes for all people living with epilepsy. #epilepsyresearch bit.ly/3sIYOo1

Thread. Yesterday, the New York Times published yet another piece of copaganda. Below, I try to explain what is so harmful about the most prominent corporate newspaper in the U.S. continuing to print distortions of what true public safety would look like.

Today we celebrate the legacy of Fred Hampton, quite possibly the most successful coalition-builder in modern US history who united working-class organizations of various backgrounds to struggle for a more just society.

How did Brett “Da Keghead” Kavanaugh and Handmaiden COVID Barrett’s nomination pass the same Senate Judiciary Committee that deadlocked on Ketanji Brown Jackson? Easy. When you’re accustomed to white mediocrity, Black excellence feels like aggression. thegrio.com/2022/04/05/bla…
