“Black residents training face ⬆️ rates of both remedial interventions & dismissal from their programs than do their White counterparts. This disproportionality raises concern that Black trainees are being overpoliced in medical education.”

No justice, no peace.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

When I tell you that @Justinjpearson is preaching today! He is forcefully and eloquently articulating his case in the tradition of freedom fighters like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Angela Davis.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

[Steve Brock @Stevo4747]

In too many developing countries, governments treat out-of-hospital emergency services, such as round-the-clock ambulances, as appendages that they will eventually get to when there is money. @DrKoyeOyerinde @AtmospherePress https://t.co/0Ee2JrJOkh #StevosNovelIdeas #health

The @AmerMedicalAssn has declared climate change a public health crisis and will be advocating for climate change goals outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and developing a strategic plan for addressing health impacts of #climatechange! #AMAMtg #AMA175

"The American Medical Association is poised to go further than it has ever gone in its reproductive health policies as the US Supreme Court nears a decision that could cede abortion rights to the states..."-@shiramstein @bloomberglaw #AbortionIsHealthcare

I'm incredibly proud of all the physicians at the @AmerMedicalAssn House of Delegates declaring reproductive health services & #Abortion as a *Human Right* & passing language advocating for equitable access to abortion without fear of criminal or civil penalties! #AMAMtg #AMA175

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Congratulations to the resident doctors at UVM, UMass and Stanford who have voted, overwhelmingly, to unionize. These doctors believe its unfair to their patients and themselves when they are forced to work up to 80 hours a week at very inadequate pay. They're right.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

The utter depravity.

[Susan Matthews @susanematthews]

I've spent the last few months working on the next season of Slow Burn. It's about how we got Roe v. Wade. You can listen to our trailer here! https://t.co/5ToG96JQRV

This is where they were always headed.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

The right to choose is a woman’s right and a woman’s right alone. Every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion. We’ll never back down from protecting and promoting women’s rights in Canada and around the world.

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

Get the blood banks prepared for massive transfusion

Stock broad spectrum antibiotics

ICUs prepare for sepsis

Surgery prepare for bowel perforations and diversions

IR prepare to embolize more uterine arteries than you’ve ever imagined

Gyn will be calling you.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I’ve had some people ask if I would make a video about the roe v wade news. I’m not going to. I don’t see the humor, I don’t want to look for the humor. Right now it’s all anger and sadness, so I’ll just be here to support all of you in anger and sadness.
