Muad is coming out to the west coast for a few fundraisers this week. I'm co-hosting the brunch one on Sunday (2/6) in San Francisco. Flyers for that and two other events.
Thanks for your support- in person or through his website!

Hi friends -
Thrilled to share that my cousin @muadhrezi who I've known since he was a kid, is running for U.S. Congress in his hometown in Connecticut (CT-01)!
He was one of those kids who truly embraced the "Be the change you want to see in the world" mentality
Muad has always been a trailblazer (literally- he was a track athlete!) He's already being compared to AOC- based on his politics, rapid rise & that his campaign is also to unseat a 20+ yr incumbent beholden to corporations. 6 months from the primary, he is head to head in polls
Recently I learned about the power we gain by being vulnerable. This essay is my attempt to do that. It's the most personal thing I've ever written, let alone publish. It's about how we internalize love, relationships and what we learn from our families ⬇️ https://t.co/m6X8NBE3kQ
@muadhrezi We believe in you, Muad! Glad we could host a great conversation on how we bring reform to the safety net for healthcare, economics and climate change.
2/2 Got to record this on 11/2, just hours after the Covid vaccine was approved for 5-11yr! We had this in the works for a few weeks, so the timing was serendipitous.
Open to feedback on my podcast presence- still kinda new at this.
Inspiring to see we may go from one pediatrician in Congress (WA) to two. Kudos to @AnnieAndrewsMD for the courage to run on a GunControl platform in SC. Honesty, compassion and science. #Tweetatrician
Had a rejuvenating hike in the Redwoods today. Grateful for the ~5,000 acres preserved in the expensive SF Bay area. 80mph winds toppled this tree on the Harkins ridge trail, passable only by climbing. @MidpenOpenSpace
2/ Cried when I heard Dr Cunningham read (audio version available) "When George Floyd called out “Mama” as he died, I heard my own child’s voice in his. His call for “Mama” sounded like her call for me, when she is scared in the middle of the night.."
Grateful for the leaders among us, calling for us to dismantle the old institution of medicine as it exists, allowing for an anti-racist one to rise in its place.
