This is so goddamned appalling: In the year after Texas banned abortion, a nearly decade-long decline in infant mortality reversed. Some 2,200 infants died in Texas in 2022, the year following the state's abortion ban. That's an 11.5% increase.

It is torturous to force a woman to continue a pregnancy, especially when she *wanted* a child, but her fetus has severe problems that won't let it live, or will make its life brutal, short, or both. Texas forces women to birth babies and watch them die.

I continue to mourn the wretched murder of Jordan Neely—and feel the weight of history. Jordan’s murder, and his killer’s defense, are reminiscent of the murders of Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery. So reminiscent of America's wretched history of racist vigilante violence. 1/

In this retrospective, cross-sectional study of 3354 #PedsICU patients "potentially excess oxygen exposure in patients whose oxygen saturation was at least 95% was associated with increased mortality".

@EthanLSanford Just a beautiful piece, Ethan, thank you so much for writing it. I’m so sorry your family has had to endure the loss of the wonderful Ceci.

I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

Alexandria "Alex" Bell, 15, a sophomore, was shot to death today in her classroom in St. Louis. One of nine children, Alex loved to dance and was on the Junior Dance Team at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. She would have turned 16 in two weeks.

Jean Kuczka, 61, had taught at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School as a physical education teacher since 2008. Today she was shot to death trying to protect her students from a 19-year-old with a semiautomatic rifle and high capacity magazines: https://t.co/dmx9cC2rv5

A friend sent me images of these flyers appearing in the mailboxes of Brentwood families today.

A Missouri woman whose water broke at 17 weeks, whose fetus was dying inside of her and threatening her life, was denied an abortion. She called a GOP state senator to beg for help getting around the law, and he sent her to an anti-abortion center. https://t.co/gKPJmflhYK

Dear women: 96% of Republicans voted against your legal right to have access to contraceptives and want to pass a national abortion ban. The midterms are in 23 days.

Everyone must stand up and speak out against antisemitism. Silence is not an option. The bigger the platform for the antisemitic speech, the more forcefully it must be condemned.

"[T]his is a common thing that I'm seeing in cities around America," Ta'Wan Grant said. "Whenever a disaster happens, for some reason the city is slow to respond to people in ethnic communities, in low-income communities."

To give equitable care, you need a diverse healthcare team. Does your team's demographic's resemble that of your patient population? If not, congratulations, now you have an area to work on (PS this is a subtweet to all of medicine) #SPS22 #PedsAnes
