Congratulations Shakira! 🎓Dr.S.Brathwaite👏🏾 - We are so proud of you & the Class of 2021 on your graduation from @queensu Medical School today - @queensuHealth @blackdocscanada, @BMScanada, @QMedBMSA, @thebpao @OMSAofficial
I say this as someone with no pity for Donald Trump: there is a pathos to his story. Here is a man propped up from day one by a cruel father; a man who couldn't succeed on his own, yet through sheer demographic luck was awarded enormous wealth and power, only to squander both...
It’s reported that Stacey Abrams worked relentlessly to register over 800,000 new voters across Georgia who were affected by voter suppression in time for the U.S elections. That is some impact 👏🏾🇺🇸
Supreme Court of Canada: It’s their treaty right to fish CBC: So anyway, the Mi’kmaq allege they have the right to fish
For all the "patriotic history" buffs out there: Historical contextualization is not a "Get Out of Jail Free" card that exempts your heroes from critical judgment. Historical contextualization is how we know their views were questioned and their actions resisted in their time.
My friend @sarahkendzior was asking me about this, so I’ll share what I told her. This sounds to me like Trump is telegraphing the possibility of entering the “discard phase” of his relationship with his supporters. Which—schedenfreude aside—would be a dangerous thing. 1/x

@RevDrBarber sent me this Octavia Butler passage this morning. It is the truth, unvarnished.
.@JoeBiden made me a better president. I’m asking you to believe in his and Kamala’s ability to help make us a better country. More importantly, I’m asking you to believe in your own and to help them, in this election and beyond. pscp.tv/w/1BRJjYWDVopGw
In the autumn I am teaching a 300-level “Introduction to Black Studies” for the first time (the first at my uni, too). We are beginning with The Black Jacobins by C.L.R. James and ending with selected writings by Ruth Wilson Gilmore. The central organizing concept is liberation.
NOW: Can confirm through talking with several postal workers and managers in several different locations that Mark Meadows is lying.
Tonight I’ve made a criminal referral to the New Jersey Attorney General asking him to empanel a grand jury to look at subversion of NJ election laws by donald trump, louis dejoy, and other trump officials in their accelerating arson of the post office.
Dear physicists: I just had to write an email that said, "In future comparative histories of 1936 and 2020, I want to be written up as someone who said 'let’s not'" Consider joining me and maybe 2021 won't be like 1937
VIRUS Let me give you a hypothetical scenario. Imagine, as best as you can, that there's a virus. To help your imaginations, I'll describe this virus.
@ill_wink Imagine hating someone just because of the latitude/longitude of their ancestors
When we ask Black junior faculty to take on big projects to address racism in our universities, how are we going to honor that? Does this work count as first-author peer-reviewed publications when it is time to go up for tenure? This is a serious question.
Gil Scott-Heron explaining what he meant when he said “The revolution will not be televised”
I recently discussed #HowToBeAnAntiracist with @BreneBrown who has spent her career revealing the power of vulnerability and empathy, which we need in this moment to be antiracist and build an antiracist society. This is a conversation I won't forget. brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-…
Since bigotry has learned to spoof the language of inclusion, I recommend paying attention to arguments that amount to "it's the existence of other people that oppresses and negates me." It's how you know somebody's identity is centered in exclusion of others.

There is a 100% chance that conservatives 30 years from now will be scolding black activists for not being more like Colin Kaepernick, whose ideals and methods they always revered. x.com/burnschade/sta…

I have no patience for the green tech “overcapacity” argument because those pushing it seem to think we still have time to haggle over these things but the haggling side let the clock on climate action run for *50 years*. Thar clock has been run out now. *We are out of time*.

A society is an orchestra. We all play our instruments. Historically, students have played a vital role: forcing moral questions that sometimes blinkered, jaded, habituated, corrupted elders refuse to face. Let them. Their social function isn't to be as faultless as your CPA...
It’s actually Econ 101. In perfectly competitive markets profits go to 0 and this is supposed to be the ideal market. (Really funny that champions of liberal economics try dunking on people without actually know what the ideas they champion say).
@gonglei89 How is this not communist idiot logic? 🙃🙃🙃🙃🤦♀️
“Overcapacity” is just price competition. If you want to compete, then produce. Profits are earned, not owed. Competition to provide abundance is *supposed* to be what “free markets” are good for no?
@gonglei89 You are missing the point which is overcapacity at the national level. Banks are airlines obviously don’t have those issues
Whenever people frame climate science as a debate between mainstream science (who agree on everything) and "skeptics" (who are challenging things), a gentle reminder that it is mainstream science that is skeptical in a way that iterates on understanding and advances knowledge…

@GailVazOxlade A great choice for her would be a Toyota Corolla or Camry. Made to last. Personally I will never buy anything other than Toyota or Honda for the rest of my life. Before purchasing, ensure you take the car to a mechanic who will do a complete inspection for ~$120.
We live in a world where we have figured out the immense power to make abundance but follow rules designed around scarcity.
There are no 'economic laws'. Every honest thinker knows this. There are only decisions made by humans. Even supply and demand - if a price drops, it's a decision to constrict supply, not a natural law. What informs decisions? Creditors' greed. That's all. rwer.wordpress.com/2024/04/26/the…
Ah, it’s begun. The people who for years denied reality and criticised scientists and activists, costing us vital decades, have begun to understand the anger they will soon face for putting us all in unimaginable danger.
Seriously, you're going to wake one morning in the 2050s in a home warmed by your wind powered heat pump, open the dividend from your solar farm share, ride to work on an electric bus passing fields of agroforestry brimming with wildlife, and wonder what all the fuss was about.
I freely admit that some students’ behaviour gets on my nerves. I don’t think every protest is right or done well. I hope I never show the kind of casual, general contempt for students articulating their convictions some faculty senior to me are letting slip at a dangerous time.
@TimothyDSnyder A sign of rising Fascism.
Cops didn’t do a thing as these folks marched through my backyard yelling “Jews will not replace us” on UVA’s campus a few years ago. Free speech they said.
I’ll never stop being fascinated by the confidence/hubris of people who think: “Sure people who oppose grassroots social justice movements have been on the wrong side of history EVERY SINGLE TIME… but trust me, this time, I’m right.”
“The light at the end of the tunnel” doesn’t exist if the clock runs out. The first order pressure we are all racing against is not national dignities but the clock itself. It’s the American “we have to be first if anything is going to work” mentality that is dooming us.
