I can’t stay silent when I see 5 year olds die with bullet holes scattered all over their bodies. I'm going to keep fighting. The NRA owns the GOP & it's literally killing CHILDREN. THE ONES WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT. THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. (1/3) #EndGunViolence

We need more awareness as to what is happening with Medicaid redetermination and do more as communities to help people stay or get covered. Especially children! Thanks to @JoanAlker1, @TriciaBrooksCCF, and others for their ongoing work. Let’s do better to #keepkidscovered

@hospital_adm @AnnieAndrewsMD The email reply that shifted my views went something along the lines of the current political climate doesn’t support that… aka we won’t get anywhere so why bother.

[Dr. Annie Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD]

Doctors everywhere, but especially in states like Tennessee and South Carolina, are told not to talk about gun violence because it is “too political”.

AND THEN THEY GET SHOT AT WORK.

@AnnieAndrewsMD @URMed_GCH @dellchildrens @LeBonheurChild @MayoClinicKids @MUSCkids @theprismahealth @Duke_Childrens @brennerhospital @ctchildrens I feel like I remember a @MCWPediatrics talk too 🙂 was one of my favorite grand rounds yet!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

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.

[Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort @WaveEdFund]

A powerful, powerful letter from 140 Milwaukee health care providers, many of them working in pediatric emergency care. They're tired of children being shot.

This is the inclusive, child-centered energy we need.

Well done @GovPritzker!

HEARTBREAKING: Nine-year-old King Javier Black was playing outside after spending the day at the pool with his mom when he was shot; he died at the hospital from his injuries. King had just finished the third grade nine days prior. https://t.co/Hjw3CoDOFX

Hey @NikkiHaley The youth mental crisis is real, I would know. My ICU has been full of adolescents who have attempted suicide & it has absolutely NOTHING to do with this bullshit your spewing. This crisis is not an opportunity for you to attack transgender youth. Disgusting.

[Abby D. Phillip @abbydphillip]

Nikki Haley discussing trans girls in kids sports: "How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker room. And then we wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year."

[Dr. Annie Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD]

Hey @NikkiHaley. The youth mental health crisis is very real. Turning it into an irrelevant bigoted attack on trans kids is absolutely disgusting.

Try talking to one pediatrician or mental health professional before you open your mouth again.

@AryaCampaigns Stayed at Coral Level @ Iberostar for 3 nights by myself a couple of years ago- Felt safe. the Coral level is adults only, Jacuzzis on balcony all rooms are ocean view. You still have options for all inclusive dining at the main resort too!

Another young life lost this weekend from a firearm. Safe storage saves lives- Firearms should be stored unloaded, locked, and ammunition stored separately . Spreading the words can help prevent firearm deaths in kids. #GunSense legislation & safe storage laws are so important.

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

We all should be outraged and ashamed our children are dying in this senseless and preventable way.

This weekend, we #WearOrange for young people whose futures have been stolen by gun violence.
