This is horrific. The Board of Immigration Appeals, having been purged of all dissenters, rules that unaccompanied migrant CHILDREN who initially crossed the border unlawfully MUST be detained without bond, EVEN IF they have been granted Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.

One of the proudest moments of my life. As a first-generation college student, this milestone means so much. We don't talk enough about how hard it is to navigate academia without a roadmap. I'm forever grateful to everyone who helped me get here 🙏
As little as $7 help someone begin to restore their faith and hope during extraordinarily difficult circumstances. ♥️
Thank you for sharing, @eman_khrais4 Best wishes and post again.
Great memory: A fun fundraiser for my friend’s little opera company. A reminder that art, music, friendship, and a little whimsy are good for the nervous system too. 💜 Enjoy Saturday.
I didn’t think I would ever write something like this… but I don’t have many options left.
My name is Eman, I’m a pharmacy student from Palestine, and I’m trying to continue my life under extremely difficult circumstances.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
There are 22 million healthcare workers in America.
And I think we just realized how powerful we could become if we stopped letting ourselves stay divided.
Something happened in DC this week that was bigger than politics, bigger than titles, and bigger than any one specialty.
For the first time in a long time, I sat in rooms with nurses, techs, therapists, physicians, and healthcare workers across every part of medicine, and nobody cared what letters were behind our names.
We were united by the same reality: The healthcare system is failing both patients and the people trying to care for them.
For years, healthcare workers have been separated into categories, hierarchies, societies, and specialties. But sitting together this week, it became impossible not to ask the question:
Why have we been kept so separate?
Because divided people are easier to silence and control.
But there are 22 million of us.
Twenty two million people who see what is happening inside hospitals, clinics, operating rooms, and patient rooms every single day.
You can call me whatever you want, but I’m not showing up as “just” a doctor anymore. I’m showing up as a healthcare worker, proud to stand alongside my colleagues at every stage of healthcare.
I’m done asking permission to advocate for patients and for the future of healthcare. We know these problems because we are the ones living them.
And when healthcare workers unite instead of staying divided, we become something incredibly powerful.
Thank you @wearfigs for bringing healthcare workers together in DC this week and helping spark conversations and advocacy that felt bigger than any one title or profession.
This is how we change healthcare.
Together.
Neuroscience of Nature. Spending time around trees lowers stress-related hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, improves memory, and reduces blood pressure. This is my favorite tree in the neighborhood. Enjoy. ☺️
This one simple thing increases preemie survival. No fancy machine or surgery needed. Just basic skin-to-skin contact.
It sounds incredible… placing a premature baby directly on a parent’s chest, rapidly improves vital signs
Heart rate… oxygen levels… even temperature.
This is called kangaroo care. And it’s not just for the baby. It improves bonding and calms parents.
Human touch is a more powerful medicine than most people realize.
So how do you think it works? #NICU #PrematureBaby #NeonatalCare #Doctor #Medical
