Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.
After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.
This was graffitied on our church overnight. Where my husband & I bring our 2 kids every week.
Why do we celebrate #PrideMonth? 🌈 Because we celebrate those who fought hard for the rights of LGBTQ+ ppl to live & love. And because in 2023 we still have to fight against hate. ✊🏻
It’s not debatable. “Vagina” is not a bad word. It’s a medical term that has been censored to make girls and women feel ashamed. Thank you to the “gold journal” for publishing this. https://t.co/DPQFkzA17f #vaginaisnotabadword
I was 3 years into being an attending physician when I found I was unhappy.
I told myself once I….
…Pay off my loans
…Buy a bigger house
…Get promoted
THAT is when I’ll be happy. Except I’d get there, and the happiness was fleeting.
This is called an Arrival Fallacy

Calling all residents and attendings out there - if you have an M4 coming in this week matched or not, send them home.
If they’re scheduled to work on Friday, tell them not to come.
“Is that the bark?” (Ruff!) “Class dismissed!” Last week, @Reveille X persuaded Dr. Chris Lee ’93 to let his biology class out early, as seen in this video by pre-vet biomedical sciences major Connor White ’24: https://t.co/QEr2SFfOFF 👍
Really bold of @nytimes to run a story stating that risks of HRT for menopausal symptoms in cis women are overblown, while also publishing repeated articles overstating the theoretical risks of hormone therapy for trans patients
The violent news from Colorado Springs is sickening and heartbreaking - the more so because there is a pattern.
We can not, will not, allow hate to win. We must end this in our time. No rest until all of us, including all of us in the LGBTQ+ community, can be, and feel, safe.
According to scanner traffic earlier tonight (which I listened to), there was an active shooter at Club Q in Colorado Springs (which is a gay & lesbian nightclub). Scanner said possibly 9 people shot. Original report of shooting on scanner was around midnight local time/2am ET.
3 amazing days and 40 talks later, we leave Phoenix, AZ with a fervor for trans and intersex health! Thank you to @MayoPsych@MayoClinicEndo@MayoMedEd @DavidgePitts and all of our faculty presenters for making our course a success!
