Dr. MLK Jr. addressing the American Psychological Association, 1967 “You who are in the field of psychology have given us a great word. It’s the word maladjusted… But… I’m sure that we recognize that there are things in our world to which we should never be adjusted.” www.apa.org/topics/equit...

“economic sanctions imposed by the USA/EU were associated with 564,258 deaths annually from 1971-2021, higher than battle-related casualties … 25% of all countries were subject to sanctions from 2010-2022 … US sanctions often aim to create conditions conducive to regime change” @lancetgh.bsky.social

“radical hope is not only a construct or character trait, but an action that must be intentionally practiced… reminiscent of Mariame Kaba’s declaration that “Hope is a discipline” … and Angela Davis’ definition of radical as “simply grasping at the root” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Dr. Mary T. Bassett is one of the bravest people I have met in my lifetime - her moral compass and commitment to justice are unmatched. Shame, shame, shame on Harvard. Her ouster is shocking yet unsurprising and on brand for the University. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

NO COOPERATION, END THE OCCUPATION

Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...

At a moment when the problems our world is facing feel insurmountable, I found a lot of inspiration in this. My friend and reporter Allison Herrera sat down with recently freed Leonard Peltier, one of the longest-serving political prisoners in the U.S.

We win together. Don’t let them divide you.

Which is what identity politics as coined by the Combahee River Collective, was intended to do. Be the center of a critical politic that builds solidarity within and across identities that share that questioning of power, not a replacement for that critical politic.

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

Honored to write with this group about addressing mental health effects of historical and contemporary racism through Black-led grassroots community healing efforts, including ABPsi’s Sawubona Healing Circles Every circle is a reminder: “We are each other’s medicine” psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

“it ultimately matters little whether violence is meted out by the police, the hospital, or both working in concert. Then, as now, the challenge is in building the political consciousness and systems of care necessary to move towards a healthier social order.”

“[Black Panthers] job was not only to offer care… that’s important… but their job was also security. My problem with contemporary politics is y’all disappeared the security aspect… you’re just doing the social worker aspect.” Joy James and @girlcloudnine.bsky.social lux-magazine.com/article/joy-...

“….this struggle has two faces. Care and militancy.” RIP Joshua Clover

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders. Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

The doctor’s role in liberation: an interview with Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta “what medicine allows you to do…to reach into people’s lives…to see up close…and politics allows you to see what you’re looking at. That’s what shapes…medical liberation ideology” mondoweiss.net/2024/03/the-...

“offloading the threat of fascism onto Trump extremists who yearn overtly for a Third Reich ignores the fascistic features of liberal democracy + racialized state violence it enables… to obscure + legitimize the mechanisms underlying the problems they purport to solve” proteanmag.com/2025/01/20/t...

What the Most Famous Book About Trauma Gets Wrong “The Body Keeps the Score stigmatizes survivors, blames victims and depoliticizes violence. While masquerading as care for survivors, it creates a hierarchy where marginalized victims are even more marginalized” www.motherjones.com/media/2024/1...

“As mental health professionals, it is our responsibility not only to treat symptoms… but to address political roots of their trauma. This requires a holistic approach that considers the broader sociopolitical context in which these individuals live” -Dr. Samah Jabr www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

A recent study of children in Gaza has found that: -96% felt that their death is imminent -Almost half want to die as a result of trauma they’ve experienced -92% were “not accepting of reality” -79% suffer from nightmares -73% exhibit symptoms of aggression www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Something that gives me hope: the scale, consistency, and dedication of students protesting today is undeniably the sign of a shift. Even ten years ago, it would have been inconceivable for seniors at almost any university to risk expulsion, arrest, and physical assault for a protest, for any cause
