“Anyone trying to sell them advice instead of a way to use that anger to build a better world for women deserves to be fired.” Yes yes yes, 1000x yes.
More to come but I will say this: the liberal institutional infrastructure of mobility is gone. People are mad. Women are people. No one is speaking to that anger. Midterms soon come. But that’s just the start.
Here lies the girlboss. First to die but not the last. Good riddance.

What does it really mean to say Happy International Women’s Day beyond cliches, tick box exercises & marketing?
To me it means I’m with you my sisters in your struggles. I understand & empathise. I acknowledge our struggle as a source of both suffering & strength. We grow together. You’re not alone.

Excellent and important piece, thank you Dr. Blackstock
From my new @TIME piece: we should tell the full story about trust and vaccines. Black communities are not outsiders to immunization history.

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.
I'm genuinely grateful for the solidarity, irrespective of how rare this is from a politician. But fascism can't be reduced to displaced economic concerns. It doesn't stand up analytically, it won't help politically or strategically, and I really wish the left (of which I'm part) wouldn't do this.
The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.
We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Coco Gauff won the French Open, prevailing over the No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka in a tense and chaotic final match on Saturday. She is the first American woman to win on the clay since Serena Williams in 2015. nyti.ms/43OLRf7

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.

Indeed our power is in our collective action AND care, connect, build spaces and cultivate them to keep connecting, and to keep taking care of each other.
Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

It's probably the right time for a lot of people to start entering the fray and running establishment Dems out of office.

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.
