You rolled over on genocide in Gaza, were told to keep quiet and obeyed. No matter what you say about Trump now, it just rings hollow.
When we look back at Trump’s impact on (global/public) health we’d see that the failure of our response began with the failure of our response on Gaza.

This piece by a homeless journalist is as harrowing as everyone says. We are all much closer to homelessness than to being a multimillionaire, yet we treat the homeless with such cruelty. Just gut-wrenching www.esquire.com/news-politic...

"What power seeks to do is stop you. To stop you from being a threat, from righting an injustice. To stop you, it stops itself from knowing, it keeps itself innocent, ignorant, unaware, falsely. Not knowing is how it keeps itself in place, how it keeps injustice in place."
🌱 Oof, this essay.

To mark the centenary of James Baldwin, I wrote a short essay for @TheLancet. On what he's taught me about responding to pushback.
To beware of "strategic ignorance" and "the imaginary line of selective judgment".

Hello again, world! 🌄 I left X a while ago but have missed having that space. Glad to here. :)
I walked the Camino de Santiago in April–May this year and haven't stopped talking about it since! Starting with that here too! Reflecting on my Camino is what gives me strength and hope in these times.
