@pattyeludwig @jacquelineUWS It’s from the wonderful children’s book, Owl Moon, by Jane Yolen. Great pick for a child you love.

Music to my ears. A minute of Flaco, the Central Park Eurasian eagle-owl, hooting recently. It seemed like he started hooting in response to the sound of sirens. He’s also hooted in response to cheering from nearby baseball games!

Just so everyone knows, if anyone ever stops speaking like that and freezes, call 911. Don’t mess around. Don’t waste time. That person needs a stat head CT.

Angel in the outfield.

Flaco, the Central Park Eurasian eagle-owl, in right field of one of the North Meadow baseball fields. He was scanning the fenceline, where he hoped to trap a fleeing rat—a clever tactic that was later successful!

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.

"In this country, you cannot bring a case that is a hypothetical... There has to be a real dispute... This is somebody who, there was no real issue, there was no complaint. This wasn't even somebody who had opened up a business" - @AWeissmann_ w/ @NicolleDWallace

I'm reminded of Toni Morrison: "The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being"

That's what Roberts WANTS Black kids to be further distracted by his bullshit

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.

Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it.

A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income.

Meanwhile, a normal worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income.

How does that make any sense?

[Doug Jones @DougJones]

That’s right-$1.4 billion! But not a single Republican member of the Alabama delegation voted for this legislation. To my knowledge not a single Republican state leader expressed support either. But I bet they will damn sure take credit when its installed. https://t.co/Jeq2mPO3jF

This town apparently hit two octogenarians with $30K in fines for having a couple lawn chairs . . . on the lawn.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.

It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.

I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.

So deeply sad to hear about Tina Turner's passing… I loved her version of Proud Mary! It was different and fantastic. I was also so happy because she chose my song and it was her breakthrough record.
