In Opinion

"It’s not that we lack stories of black women killed by the police; rather, it seems that we don’t know what to do with them," writes Kimberlé Crenshaw https://t.co/TTssLsKYvR

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Understand that Trump is engaged in deliberate, atrocious, targeted antisemitism towards Chairman Schiff.

Then ask yourself why no one cares to denounce it - esp when his accusation of it towards others drove full news cycles earlier this year. https://t.co/bjEw6eb7Md

"Respect to Greta Thunberg but let us not forget how Indigenous people and their children have always been advocates for the environment. So much it had the White man convinced they were less human for it." https://t.co/O5Rng75xmV

My heart hurts losing such a special individual in this world... Sandeep Dhaliwal... Know his name...

[StanceGrounded @_SJPeace_]

Sandeep Dhaliwal, the first Sikh to become deputy in Houston, TX was fatally shot from behind yesterday

He was a HERO!

With the help of his community, he filled an 18 wheeler truck with supplies worth over a million dollars for those affected by Hurricane Harvey

KNOW HIS NAME!

@AndreaWestbyMD @aafp @leroy_gary Whaaaaaaaa?! When did this happen?! You didn’t tell me!

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

Bahahaha... and this public service announcement from one of my Sheroes!

[Andrea Westby (she/they) @AndreaWestbyMD]

Someday I’m going to title a talk “obesity management” and the room will be full and I’ll lock all the doors and be like, “surprise obesity is a construct” and spend the whole time about #HAES and weight bias and stigma and anti-diet

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

@AndreaWestbyMD Bahahahahahaha! Indoctrinate me, oh Wise One!

[Lauren Moak, MD @laurenelisemoak]

#AAFPFMX: Race is a social construct. We cannot use it as a biologic marker. Grateful that #AAFPCOD referred resolutions denouncing race beard medicine to the @aafp board so that more thought can be given to how we can use other more scientific measures to educate & risk stratify

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

@dremilym Except that healthcare does not just happen between patient and physician. It can be patient and nurse practitioner or patient and physician assistant, especially in primary care. “Physician” is not inclusive of all the roles 😕... I am a physician, and work with NPs and PAs...

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

🤬😡😤

[StanceGrounded @_SJPeace_]

China has placed nearly 1.5 a Million Muslims in concentration camps. They are subjected to torture in these camps

This is a human rights atrocity. This is Ethnic cleansing. No one seems to care.

THIS IS NOT OK!

RETWEET THIS!

Holy smokes. This ENTIRE theead is how I have felt in science and medicine!!! PLEASE read. Thank you, Divya, for bravely laying this out. I call on allies of women and people of color to DO BETTER. BE BETTER. Our lives are at stake.

[Dr. Divya (logged out) @Divya_M_P]

Full offense scientists are extremely tepid about equity. Whenever a man accepts a talk he should demand to see the program and ask where the women are. White people, people of color. Able people, disabled people. Every time. Every time

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

@AlyssaColeLit Also, the inclusion and diversity in your stories gives me life!!!

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

@AlyssaColeLit Right?! 😭 I LOVE your characters and your stories sooooo much!!!!!

[DrNanton @MinelvaMDPhD]

😭❤️💕😭

This 12-year-old boy uses a shovel and dirt from his backyard to even out the potholes in his town so that it looks nicer and people don't judge his community.😭

His name is Monte Scott.

Retweet ❤️

@tajmustapha_md Also “bitchified” should hereby, from this day forward, be a word in everyday vernacular!
