this protest was peaceful all afternoon. some people in the group had it written on the backs of their signs that they had water and/or snacks, medical supplies to offer to anyone who needed. one girl next to us offered us hand sanitizer. this is NYC showing up for each other
I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv
Gun violence is a political determinant of health. Where there is political will, there is a way. Let us work to arming communities of color with voting booths, absentee ballots, and voter protection. #VoteHealth#EndGunViolence#EndRacism@dr_msharma @ShaliniPammal
We are a couple hours past curfew in Seattle and thousands are still marching, chanting "Hands Up, Don't Shoot." Haven't seen any smashed windows, even at the Amazon Go store.
The White House went dark, turning off almost all of its external lights, as protesters set fires nearby and thousands again defied curfews to demonstrate against police brutality. Smoke was seen rising near the Washington Monument. https://t.co/pmtsjrQp7l
It follows a sixth night of protests across America including gatherings outside the White House in Washington DC. Curfews have been imposed in nearly 40 cities. All the latest here: https://t.co/mFxjgwkfDA
Protests have erupted in at least 140 cities across the United States over racism and police brutality. Some of the demonstrations have turned violent, prompting the activation of the National Guard in at least 21 states. https://t.co/IgDntKt02K
My son, Dylan, was shot at least 5 times in his classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary. He died at just 6 years old. Yet in the years since, not nearly enough has been done to save lives like Dylan’s. Sign our petition demanding action to prevent school shootings. -Nicole
I was at the Beverly Hills protest. Everyone was peaceful and kind. Shop owners cheered us on and motorists honked in support and raised their fists in solidarity. Aside from a little graffiti, there was no vandalism. Then the cops came and attacked people to start a fight. Why?
I see a lot of medical leaders promoting "resilience" courses for medical students and doctors. Wrong approach. No amount of such training will matter in a #healthcare system characterized by high toxicity levels.
For @Rewire_News I wrote about the health consequences of minimizing #Kavanaugh's sexual assault allegations to "boys will be boys." Rape culture hurts my patients, their perpetrators, & all of us. https://t.co/c7kXHAa8hh #WhyIDidntReport#IBelieveChristine
Over 15 million people cited transportation as their primary barrier to voting in the 2016 election — that’s why we’re introducing The Ride to Vote. Lyft will provide free and discounted rides to the Polls. #TheRidetoVote https://t.co/E8GVhNNkE8
How good is physical exam at picking up spleen enlargement in mono?About 17%. Which mono patients get big spleens? Almost all. If you rely on exam, you'll be wrong most of the time.
