Capitalism 👏 is👏 diametrically 👏 opposed👏 to 👏 protecting 👏 the👏 public's👏 health 👏

Private industry does not care about preventing COVID or overdose. It cares about making stockholders money.

Any public health gains that happen are happy accidents.

As of today the two overdose prevention sites in NY operated by OnPoint NY have reversed *63* overdoses. To opponents of SIF: imagine if one of them was your son or daughter

Almost every day #CambMA City Council receives reports of traffic incidents, most of the involving cyclists. These crashes don't make the news, but they are devastating for those cyclists who are involved & can have lasting effects. Here are emails from the *LAST THREE DAYS* 1/6

Why should existing law continue to forbid people from building housing? When reading this proposal, I looked up why we have these laws. The story of zoning in Cambridge follows the narrative nationwide. Cities made it illegal to build densely for racist and classist reasons.

Wanna walk you through this story @jennifermeckles and I worked on yesterday.

It involves a really nice guy by the name of Michael.

He's in his 70s. Eligible for the vaccine in Colorado. He actually got an appointment for a shot...

There was just one problem...

“Black patients had ⬆️ odds of having race documented (adjusted odds ratio 1.57; 95% CI, 1.11-2.25) vs. White patients.

Black clinicians were ⬇️ likely than Whites to document patient race (aOR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.20-0.80).”

Riley June Williams is accused of stealing Pelosi's laptop in the US Capitol attack to sell to Russia and was released from custody.

As a public defender, I represented a man held in on bail for stealing cough syrup and toothpaste from Duane Reade.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. There is one place in the world where a map of #COVID19 cases & deaths reveals a straight line, with a huge amount of disease on one side, very little on the other.
Where? The 3000+ mile border US/#Canada
It's stark.

In an analysis of more than 24 million primary care office visits in 2017, female physicians generated lower annual revenue, owing to a lower volume of visits than male physicians, yet they spent more time with patients per year, per day, and per visit.

I hate threads, but this feels important:

I want to tell you about how structural racism and segregation are being perpetuated in real time on the Upper West Side, one of the most liberal neighborhoods in the country.
