In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

Climate justice is linked to #racial, #economic, and #social justice. We must center the voices and perspectives of those traditionally left out of conversations and those most impacted by the climate crisis.

@acbowen I appreciate what @afrodesiaq is saying b/c after hearing the messaging, I'm like "do straight people not have sex/other forms of close contact with people??" Agree that it doesn't need to be an STI, but why are gay/bi men at risk instead of just all sexually active individuals?
