The folks at @Equatormag are putting out so much essential reading that it's hard to keep up. This dispatch from a sweltering Mumbai is a postcard from all of our futures.
Summer in Mumbai was brutal and endless. The monsoon's poster child was running out of water. In a dispatch for @Equatormag, I wrote about what it's like to live with extreme heat in a broken city and limits to resilience. With🔥 images by @ishantankha. equator.org/articles/city-of…

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Decided to run D’Angelo’s 2012 Philly performance just because. I have returned to it so many times since he passed. The opening number being Motherlode and a shout to Dilla too gives me chills. Just incredible. So sad he’s gone
