This piece feels like it is years in the making, as it is built on the personal & patient stories that made me enter medicine.

I talk language access, migration hx, & issues w/ race-based medicine for immigrants in @sciam 👇🏼

Please read this important and sobering piece by my friend @Caroline_HLee.

@Marinos_S Congratulations @Marinos_S - it’s so deserving & the med students who will get to learn from you are very lucky ☺️

Wonderful piece by a dear friend @Caroline_HLee capturing the pain and anguish among the AAPI community in the aftermath of yet another hate crime targeting Asian women. #StopAsianHate

I have been disappointed in too many recent conversations.

Too many times I have had to justify my pain & contextualize it for others that it is not just racism (which it is), but also power dynamics and misogyny.

I speak on this perspective on @WBUR.

Thinking about all Asian folks grieving and working through their traumas tonight.

All of my wounds around sexual violence and intimate partner violence perpetrated by white men are resurfacing.

This is really really hard.

Sending big love to everyone.

[cph @cathyparkhong]

thinking about the unspoken violence against Asian sex workers not just here but abroad in Korea servicing the American occupation. Misogyny & violence against AAPI women comes from domestic racism and from American imperial wars abroad. Don't forget that.

One of the projects I am most proud to have worked on, because of the incredibly important topic, the chance to uncover governmental wrongdoing, and because of the amazing team of collaborators. @NishantUppal7 @KatieHale29 @Kathryn_Opal @ErfaniParsa @Caroline_HLee and Elsa Raker

Immigration detention centers (like prisons/jails) have been COVID-19 hotspots in the US

We interviewed 50 immigrants released from ICE detention during the pandemic to learn why

New study by our team at @P4HR and @harvardmed:

ICE has decreased its population by nearly half during the pandemic.

But COVID-19 is still escalating rapidly inside detention centers.

New data @JAMA_current on COVID-19 testing and cases in ICE detention from April-August

[Nick Cuneo, MD, MPH @nickcuneo]

While not surprising, it is infuriating to see data showing that what was already an inhumane and wasteful policy of detaining nonviolent #migrants -- including #AsylumSeekers -- by ICE has also become a matter of life and death in the setting of the #COVID19 pandemic.

[Nishu Uppal @NishantUppal7]

COVID-19 has been a particular concern in ICE detention centers but spread has yet to be measured. For the first time, we report trends in cases/testing. We need to release more individuals and initiate mass asymptomatic testing ASAP https://t.co/MhPFR1rYMF via @JAMA_current

[STAT @statnews]

Opinion: People in correctional and immigration detention facilities are people with families, passions, and aspirations, whose lives are worth protecting against Covid-19, just as we are doing for students and the elderly. https://t.co/H1hjyK0uqh

[Parsa Erfani @ErfaniParsa]

"It’s a stark contrast. Asymptomatic students get tested twice a week...while a detained man with a cough is denied testing and forced to return to his dormitory where he shares a room with 50 other people."

An moving article from the inspiring @KatieHale29 about advocating for immigrant children and human rights issues in pediatrics/medicine 💕

[Parsa Erfani @ErfaniParsa]

ICE's medical neglect, hysterectomies, 545 children..

As the federal govt fails to protect detained immigrants, we need to rely on brave Whistleblowers like Dawn Wooten to reveal the truth -now more than ever.
