In their new Forefront article, Scott Kaplan and Sofia Villas-Boas from @NavalAcademy and @UCBerkeley discuss how bridging the gap in outcomes between intended policy and realized behavior requires careful study of actual responses to taxes. https://t.co/41oAio4YE2

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

Cancer rates have declined for people with HIV (2001–2019), but racial/ethnic disparities remain. #LiverCancer rates dropped 23% for white individuals vs. 11% for Black individuals. Addressing #HealthInequities is critical. https://t.co/SZwkK8bgpq @theNCI Image of DNA Genotyping.

Trauma teaches you to stop dreaming, hoping, and expecting goodness. It teaches you to shut down and shut off. It tells you to cling to crumbs and embrace the minimum.

It’s beautiful to see you dreaming, opening, and soaring.

Healing looks good on you.
