In conversation with BU students Victoria Bien-AimΓ© and Seynedhee Avenue, Nakate calls for just transition. Africa will supply many of the minerals needed for energy infrastructure but must not be exploited again as it has been in the fossil fuel industry.

Happy to celebrate the 70th anniversary of @BUAfricaStudies with keynote by Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate. She offers a powerful condemnation of the systems that make Africa suffer disproportionately from climate crisis.

Just heard Smerconish on CNN give airtime to Daniel Markovitz to talk about David Brooks’ article about the elite being responsible for Trumpism without a mention of racism or the Democratic social policies actually designed to raise people up. Enough!

I hope Governor Abbott doesn’t find out about the trans fish at the Children’s Aquarium in his state!
