Asian Americans allowing themselves to be used to scapegoat Black people & end Affirmative Action is particularly tragic given Asians were only able to immigrate to the United States b/c Black civil rights leaders passed immigration reform & demanded Asians receive equal access😐

compelling, thoughtful coverage by @CestRommel on the human impact of long-term flooding on an immigrant neighborhood in queens, ny. as climate change worsens, stories like these will only become more prevalent unless changes are made

1/6 Since last year, residents of Hollis, Queens impacted by Hurricane Ida told me stories that highlighted a flawed bureaucratic system and illuminated a deeper problem with rainfall water that goes back four generations. @Documentedny /@ClimateCentral climate.documentedny.com

Our latest piece on why the recent disaster in Pajaro isn't "natural" but a function of historic exclusion. With the amazing @Prof_MPastor and @latimes latimes.com/opinion/story/…

“to live as an artist is a practice of paying attention” @RickRubin like this a lot, gels well with an idea i’ve been toying with that when you’re present, *existing is research.* if you pay close enough attention to any moment, there’s always a thread hanging there to pull on.

Three years ago we clapped and cheered for our healthcare heroes as they literally risked their lives during a pandemic. Now nurses are forced to strike to seek fair compensation and safer patient-staff ratios. The whiplash is a lot.

The fundamental driver of homelessness in US cities is a lack of housing supply — not drug use, poverty, mental illness, or climate. This explanation from @JerusalemDemsas should end the debate once and for all:

The problem with liberal coastal cities like NYC, SF and LA is that their nonprofits and public programs are decent at homeless services but they're the worst at preventing homelessness because they refuse to understand its a housing shortage problem.

Atlanta cut homelessness by 40% through housing Houston cut homelessness by 63% through housing Finland cut homelessness by 75% through housing Tokyo cut homelessness by 80% through housing The solution to homelessness isn’t policing — it’s housing, housing, and more housing

Yes, there is no intrinsic meaning or purpose in your life. This is difficult; it’s also the reason there’s possibility for you. The task of living is to invent meaning and purpose, and then invent it again. It’s work. Much of the time it’s painful. Sometimes, it’s also joy. 3/

"For any of these new solutions to work for climate, they have to have at least these two ingredients: the technology that scales and the relationships and empathy that we share... Technology can only bring half the solution. The community brings the other half." 🙌🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

"Global climate progress relies on local actions." Local scale doesn’t mean thinking small; it’s about proving climate solutions work for real ppl in real places 🗺 See @elementalexcel's CEO @TEDTalks to learn how to scale climate tech in the real 🌎 bit.ly/dawnlippert

Devastated. “For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?” - bell hooks May this giant rest in love.

“Love is an action, never simply a feeling” ― bell hooks We mourn the tremendous loss of bell hooks. A woman of great compassion, courage, & extraordinary intellect. Thank you for always putting your love for Black people in action - for challenging us to imagine a bolder future
