I recently had an in-depth discussion with Abdi Latif Dahir about the implications of USAID's closure and its impact on the community and healthcare services. Check out the full interview in The New York Times to understand the broader consequences and learn more about what is truly happening on

Wow. Just confirmed my first podcast interview. Grateful for the invitation, and excited for the experience of sharing my research in a new way.

Our public science is being reshaped by oligarchic logic. As billionaire capital steers research agendas, lines of inquiry that challenge power such as our work on equity, structural critique, and misinformation are defunded.

The Trump admin now blames a "mistake" for the Harvard standoff. (Of course, it's a convenient fabrication that doesn’t add up given their subsequent actions.) If they admit their mistakes can trigger such conflict, imagine the risk we are at when nuclear weapons are involved.

The last U.S. gov shutdown (Dec 22, 2018-Jan 25, 2019) lasted 35 days & was the longest in history. It happened under the Trump administration, after he demanded border wall funding.

Air traffic controllers are deemed “essential” fed. employees to keep us safe, but during a govt. shutdown, they’re literally forced to work without pay. Their livelihoods become bargaining chips while public safety hangs in the balance.

In the 2018/19 shutdown, 14,000+ air traffic controllers worked without pay for 35 days! NATCA, their union, warned about extreme safety risks as training halted and sick calls led to major delays, all pressure that helped force Trump & Republicans to finally end the standoff.
