Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

It is hard to describe just how infuriating it is to hear RFK Jr. challenge the appropriateness of antidepressants.
I am a health policy professor with a forthcoming book and a second book-in-progress, none of which would be remotely possible without antidepressants to manage major depression.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism
A chief executive publicly cheering for the firing of a critical media personality is a common feature of authoritarian states.
I hate to break it to everyone, especially since it’s been evident for a couple of months, but…

Donald Trump is sick of hearing Jeffrey Epstein's name. So I wrote a column that uses Jeffrey Epstein's name more than 40 times. You're welcome. (There's a special Easter egg for those who read to the end.)
