Ukrainians put together a list of resources on how foreigners can help. There are all reputable organizations doing good work. Spread far and wide:

I’m a #nonbinary #transmasc resident, & I get misgendered countless times every day. This past month I had a resident & attending who consistently used the right pronouns, or quickly corrected themselves when they didn’t. 1/4

[kat chow @katchow]

I want to know their names, who and what they loved, the people they had waiting for them at home, everything they hoped for. I want to know the fabric of their days and the contexts of their lives.

a white supremacist murdered 8 massage parlor workers in Georgia tonight in the span of an honor. most of them were poor asian women.

fuck white supremacy, fuck racism, fuck misogyny, fuck sexual violence

my heart is shattered. rest in power. you deserved the world.

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

The reported shootings of Asian American women on Tuesday in Atlanta is an unspeakable tragedy – for the families of the victims first and foremost, but also for the AAPI community — which has been reeling from high levels of racial discrimination. https://t.co/rBVPnrEBps

[Dr. “Dad” MD, FAAP, FASN @DrRayMD]

What do you feel when you learn your friend is credibly accused of sexual harassment?

Anger? Yes
Disgust? Yes
Lied to? That too

But *MOSTLY* you center the victim, you demand justice for the victim, & you BELIEVE them.

Every. Single. Time.

So that’s what I’ll do...

[Brittani James, MD @DrBrittaniJ]

Let’s be honest.

Many Black person will refuse to take this COVID vaccine bc most of us don’t trust that white people or the government mean us any good.

And when that happens, know that the hesitance is not some baseless paranoia. It is completely rational.

Let me explain.

[Raphaela Lipinsky DeGette, MD @raphae1a]

SF is planning to close its shelter in place hotels starting Dec 21, right when covid+rain is hitting hard.

One of my pts got a SIP room and finally let me work on his insulin. Regular meals. Hotel phone = consistent appts. A1c 14-->8 in 5 months.

Housing is health care.

“Addressing the Black–White wealth gap through reparations is about saving lives.” @DrMaryTBassett and @sandrogalea

#MedTwitter where is the outrage about this? https://t.co/bIRLl563R6

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.

[Rhea Boyd MD, MPH @RheaBoydMD]

Sending love to every Black woman who went to work yesterday, cooked a meal, cared for others, or did anything at all while aching or even breaking. Attempts to deny Breonna Taylor’s humanity and rights are attempts to deny our own. Yet we still show up. Who will show up for us?

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

I'm thinking of all the ppl who knew Breonna Taylor before she became hashtag. The people who raised her, the people who held her, the people who laughed with her, the people who cried with her, the people who dreamed with her. They didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve this.

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

I am shattered at the idea that Justice Ginsburg had to die feeling like our democracy rested on her shoulders. I pray that she died knowing that she saved us—and she raised a generation of women and men in her strength. I beg of you—vote. For Ruth.

[Christle Nwora, MD @ChristleNwora]

When I was reading the stories about the hysterectomies in ICE Detention Centers, I thought a lot about the doctor involved.

They were someone’s classmate. Someone’s co intern. Someone’s colleague.

We in medicine sit in very close proximity to people capable of destruction.

[sam #FreeThemAll @samklew]

HOLY SHIT WE BEAT THE CORPORATIONS @OurHomeSF JUST WON

PROP C OFFICIALLY PASSED FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE YEAR FOR HOUSING FOR UNHOUSED SAN FRANCISCANS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭
