The @NAACP is urgently calling on Gov. Mike Parson to stop the execution of #MarcellusWilliams. In an open letter, they warned that executing Marcellus would be a “horrible miscarriage of justice” and a reflection of Missouri’s troubling racial past. https://t.co/eYdZditsT9

I’ve been interviewing young black men and teens convicted of murder under ‘joint enterprise’. They didn’t kill anyone. One of them sat in the back of a car, asleep when the spontaneous incident took place. They were all given sentences longer than they’ve been alive.
ICU stories: Eldelry pt w CAD s/p multi-vessel PCI / DM2 / HTN presented to the ED w epigastric "burning". Symptoms much worse with laying down & while eating. No relief w iv famotidine; got relief with morphine. Troponin I elevated and peaked at 1,000 (nl <15). ECG:
Your near-daily reminder that when cops claim a young Black man was armed (or may have been armed) as the reason they needed to murder him, it’s a lie. Cops are perfectly capable of keeping heavily armed & white mass shooters alive.
"ACOG is aware of the reports of a draft opinion that would strike down the protections afforded by Roe and Casey. We will continue to affirm that the ability of patients to access safe, legal abortion is critical for their health and well-being.” 1/
It’s quite fascinating that we tend to judge the quality of heart failure care at a health care system by how many LVADs and transplants they do rather than the % of patients they’ve prevented from getting HF or % on best evidence based Rx.
