Antiracism is not a trend. It is not a fad. It is not an exercise about feeling good about yourself or better than other people.

It is about building a new and better world brick by brick.

It is standing up with people of every color who believe it and saying “Enough is Enough”.

It is commiting to the idea that we will finally fully see, respect and love each other.

If you want to help this dad get to Congress, make a donation today 👇🏿 https://t.co/RCigKVhQdU

[Dr. Brian H. Williams @DrBrianWilliams]

Eating breakfast before school with my 12yo daughter today:

D: Do you like running for Congress?
Me: Yes, but some of my friends are really mad at me for saying I want to keep kids like you safe from gun violence.

Without hesitation she says emphatically, "Then they're not your friends."

From the mouths of babes. There are many days I wonder if I'm doing a good job as a parent--teaching my one and only to be a good citizen. Today is not one of those days.

[Dr. Brian H. Williams @DrBrianWilliams]

I’ve had to pronounce too many kids dead on arrival from gun violence. We need a leader from the frontlines who will stand up to the gun lobby and MAGA Republicans. We need Democrats in Congress who will be relentless in the fight for what’s right, even when it’s hard. #TX32

On this day in 1920, Henrietta Lacks was born.

Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, vitro fertilization & more

I, too, sing America...

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

Meanwhile, I went to an Ivy-League school with kids who had entire buildings named after someone in their family.

Yeeeah…Guess who doesn’t have access to generational wealth like that…

Slave-descended Black people like me.

We are 400 years behind you.

You are 400 years ahead of us.

I wasn’t the one who got the handout.

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die.

Period.

We need the help of all in continuing to advocate for Medicaid expansion for 12 months postpartum in all 50 states. States with some of the highest levels of mortality and morbidity do not have Medicaid expansion for 12 mo postpartum. https://t.co/mq7osAmolp
