What Inspired Me This Week?
A recap of my favorite reads this week that I am excited to share with you
Happy Mother’s Day! Here’s my recap of what I read this week! Let’s Address This.
- : A deep dive into the Trump administration’s first 100 days of full-scale assault on reproductive health, gender equity, and global public health.
- : What do Mothers really want for Mother’s Day? You guessed it, it’s more than flowers, and it involves freedom, repro rights, and clean air—just to name a few things on her wishlist.
- : A behind-the-scenes look at a whirlwind week at the Trending Up conference: meeting longtime collaborators, speaking on a panel, surviving a surprise congressional interview, and learning the hard way that Yu-Gi-Oh is not an instrument. A joyful, honest recap of an incredible & powerful week of activism.
- : As theaters continue to cancel screenings of the Oscar winning documentary “No Other Land,” a candid review of what to expect and why you should go watch it.
Salaam Bhatti: The great battle of our time commences this Tuesday when committees will try to cut $1 trillion from SNAP and Medicaid. This piece explains what's on the line with SNAP, how to call & email, lawmakers & what to say.
Alex Cascio: A new substack leading on important content on history. So, for you history nerds out there, this is one to subscribe to.
What inspired me this week? Qasim, you have been so busy - I don't know how you do it.
I am inspired by YOU - you and your continual persistence. I used to have this when I was young but you keep me afloat!
