Thank you @nyulangone for your generous donation of 50 pallets of medical supplies via @AfyaFoundation for #TurkeySyriaEarthquake and your ongoing efforts for more. Thank you especially for responding to the specific identified needs from local aid workers such as walkers 🙏❤️🩹
When Paul Farmer died in February, it became clear to the world that he had saved millions of lives. He did so by valuing every life equally and refusing to accept constraints. Many of us enter medicine hoping to change the world; Farmer actually did it. https://t.co/KF7RqMmuYm
There’s a Black girl from New Orleans named ZAILA AVANT GARDE currently competing in the Scripps National Spelling Bee today and no one talk to me about anything else. https://t.co/Nek3sQWwMg

America’s two justice systems:
6 years ago today, police killed 12yo Tamir Rice for playing with a fake toy gun.
Last week, 17yo Kyle Rittenhouse was released on bail after killing 2 people with an assault rifle. Police let him walk by them, drive home and sleep in his own bed.
The irony in this case is terrible!! An INNOCENT BLACK MAN was convicted and sentenced to 300 YEARS in prison. NOW, (after serving 20 of those years!!) DNA evidence is pinpointing a suspect: A COP’S SON!! What a sad reminder of the injustice that goes on in America!!
Over the next few days, we’re going to hear all about how this election was terribly managed. It wasn’t. @electionland had 500 reporters across the country watching this closely: this is the best administered election I have ever seen. A stunning achievement for this country.
I’m celebrating for the kids at the border.
For the women he harassed.
The Mexicans he called “criminals and rapists”.
I’m celebrating Black & Brown votes mattered.
I’m celebrating the 1st woman -Black, child of immigrants- VP.
I’m celebrating decency.
I’m celebrating America! 🇺🇸
