Fiona Apple has a story for you. And it’s incredible. Asked me to share.

She's become an avid, trained Court Watcher. Her observations helped people jailed pretrial file a civil rights lawsuit. Then came the retaliation. Shut off her access to court.

A video story in 8 parts:

@AKayumAhmed1 Fanon rejected liberal universalism (common to public health), instead adopting a Manichean duality of each person as either a Settler or a Native. Based on his background fighting the oppressive French for a free Algeria, his belief in a violent cleansing force fits.

@KathleenDBrody @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 Good point! Especially since he argued for the independence of Algeria, where France had tried to eliminate local culture forcefully to claim natural resources in true capitalist fashion

@sns2188 @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 those are great examples—recently TikTok has been driving the music charts, so a potential avenue for popularizing the music could include a visual campaign using the song as the background sound.

[em mily @Emmitwo]

@AKayumAhmed1 art, music, and poetry are affective mediums and appeal to emotions, potentially allowing complex and hard-to-understand issues to be communicated effectively, even to those with limited understanding of human rights issues #P8607

@bb3049mailman @AKayumAhmed1 @Columbia @usnews @nytimes great point on addressing LGBT+ health!! Columbia prides itself on being so inclusive with their coverage, but their flaw lies in access—most students don’t know their resources due to lack of health communication and marginalized groups are hit the hardest #P8607

[em mily @Emmitwo]

@AKayumAhmed1 @Columbia @usnews @nytimes We can use this drop to publically come out against the treatment from the university of both people with reproductive capacity and the surrounding community—if CU is so concerned with image, how will they respond to a series of student Op-Eds in prominent publications? #P8607

@KathleenBrody2 @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 I completely agree, much of human rights legislation internationally begins with the idea that all humans are instilled with rights and then continues to argue for just and equal treatment.

life update!! I’m loving my time at Mailman & in NYC and this semester I’m taking a Health and Human Rights Advocacy class that requires me to tweet 🤠 keep your eyes peeled for those!! also here’s some recent pics

[em mily @Emmitwo]

@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 our protest scholars reflect the nature of the MPH program as justice-oriented. those that identify as natural scholars will be grounding as the idea that human rights are inherent and naturally instilled is the basis of much of human rights legislation internationally.

now’s a good time to remind everyone that a black woman was killed by police for doing a U-turn too close to the white house with a baby in the backseat

The number of coronavirus tests the U.S. has done does not reflect a successful testing effort, which public health experts consider a crucial part of the tool kit needed to track and contain outbreaks.
