Belatedly introducing a new piece on racial capitalism, redlining, causality, and public health that I was lucky enough to work on with coauthors @snmarkley, Shannon Whittaker, and Amy Hillier! ajph.aphapublications.org/do… 1/

NEW: ICE is filing declarations in multiple cases admitting they don't have power to terminate student status, so students whose student records (SEVIS) are terminated remain in valid status. This means colleges disenrolling students (a majority) are punishing them for no reason.

The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. hrvd.me/ResearchFunding25t

Trump targets immigrant and campus pro-Palestine left first because it’s perfect wedge issue w/ libs who’ve demonized the same groups. As lib institutions capitulate the repression will generalize. We need leaders to fill the void and lead the fight against the authoritarian turn

As Trump strips our rights and makes it hard to live in DC, Mayor Bowser & the landlord lobby are pushing a bill that would make it even harder for renters
📣 RALLY 3/18 at 10am to save TOPA and tenant protections from the Mayor’s RENTAL Act
RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/ral…
ALT Poster that says “Save TOPA & Defend Tenant Rights, join our rally to fight back against Mayor Bowser’s Rental Act; March 18th at 10am; in front of the Wilson Building (1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW)
ALT Graphic that reads “IF PASSED, THE RENTAL ACT WOULD: strip TOPA from tenants in properties built within the last 25 years, strip TOPA rights from tenants in designated affordable housing properties, create a loophole that would make it easier for landlords to avoid TOPA through the manipulation of shady LLCs, make it easier to evict neighbors”

Last week, I was expelled from @Columbia for protesting the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. As president of @SW_Columbia , Columbia’s student workers union, I was also fired from my job. The Trump administration is pushing their narrative. Here’s the real story. 🧵
