My "Confronting Medical Colonialism in Canada" #TEDx Talk (March 2024) is now available👇🏾

In it, I draw heavily on my book (fightingforahandtohold.ca w/ contributions by @cblackst.bsky.social & Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel) to call for an end to #MedicalColonialism ✊🏽💜

Mamdani pulled together a diverse coalition of voters on a political message of economic populism and affordability.

But it's not just Albany who may stand in Zohran's way—it's also Wall Street.

Some thoughts on Wall Street's grip on municipal finance.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
