Well, here it is...via @HC_Richardson ...This morning, Time magazine published a cover story about what Trump is planning for a second term... The transcripts reflect the his scattershot language that makes little logical sense.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

If Donald Trump becomes president again, it wouldn't be as bad as it was last time.

It would be much, much worse.

Read about his plans, as he describes them in new TIME interviews, and take them seriously. https://t.co/RezUaOrJ3i

The scenes out of Al-Shifa hospital are horrific and nightmarish. Hospitals, healthcare workers, and patients must be protected.

Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital after 2-week raid

“The situation is dire. The medical staff, some were killed, others tortured, others detained…they have been besieged for 2 weeks without any medical supplies or even food or water.” https://t.co/txtf7hVv4U

[Tanya Zakrison (she/her) @tzakrison]

Unicef official tells of horrors after traveling length of Gaza

“Medical staff worked 36-hr shifts then joined their families to search for water, food or shelter. Children are on the brink of death, just skin and bones. This is man-made and preventable.” https://t.co/mWamw4tgKD

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Finally a powerful coverage of the Israeli onslaught by @CNN.
Think about how many of the 30K+ Palestinians killed could have been saved, had this been the standard of coverage by western media in the past five months.

Understanding the histories of #inequities & #racism, broadly and in your local context, is a key initial step to eliminating #disparities. After this @KFF brief, consider reading the Getting Grounded strategy for #HealthEquity work: https://t.co/6bai6ZYjgR.

State #Medicaid programs pay providers pennies on the dollar compared to commercial insurance & #Medicare.

This structural #inequity contributes to the tiered health care system of today... 🧵(1/x)

Today’s decision demonstrates a lack of understanding of the critical benefits of racial and ethnic diversity in educational settings and a failure to recognize the urgent need to address health inequities in our country. Read the AAMC's full statement: https://t.co/7IoKmMQnjI

Shout out to another amazing #GPHAP Champion! Buy his book, donate to his campaign, and vote for him if you can! @drbrianwilliams

[Dr. Brian H. Williams @DrBrianWilliams]

To be a 1st-time author and congressional candidate at the same time is surreal. While the campaign gains momentum, my book continues to quietly hit production milestones en route to its 9/26/2023 publication. A few advance reviews to share. 1/5 #TheBodiesKeepComing

"What the GOP’s vendetta against the LGBTQ community really is, is a classic authoritarian tactic to vilify already marginalized people.

This is how fascism takes root....

what it is: a threat to all of our human rights."
