@CMMercedesCD46 @NYCHealthSystem @KristyMarmorato @CMCarlinaRivera @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice "The current proposal by @NYCMayor is far below inflation.

I'm actively telling prospective residents to avoid NYC because of the cost of living.

It doesn't have to be this way. We need a fair contract."

@nycmayor, are you paying attention yet? Because others sure are.

CIR members at
@NYCHealthSystem have been holding unity breaks outside our hospitals to speak about why a fair resident contract is absolutely essential to safeguarding the health of NYC.

TODAY hundreds of union doctors at @NYCHealthSystem kick off a historic week of actions to demand Mayor Adams safeguard care at city’s public hospitals #ProtectNYsHealth

This weekend, the AMA House of Delegates adopted a resolution citing antitrust concerns with the NRMP Match, and calling upon the AMA to study alternatives to the residency match that would be less restrictive on free market competition.

Standing in solidarity with Queens doctors.

Elmhurst Hospital was the country’s COVID epicenter when the pandemic first hit. These physicians work incredibly hard for one of the most diverse working class communities in the country. They deserve wage parity and safe staffing.

Update on the whale in the east river – it’s actually a dolphin!

[Rachel Percelay, MD @rpercelay]

Didn’t catch it on camera but saw a whale swimming in the East River this morning!

The only medical decision relevant to a 7-year-old in the realm of affirming care is to start puberty blockers for precocious (early) puberty — a common treatment in many kids, regardless of gender identity.

Tim Scott should stay far away from our kids’ medical decisions.

Ever since @MassGenBrigham learned its residents & fellows are unionizing, they’re been busy pulling out all the stops, even giving us a 10% raise, to convince us we don’t need a union. Which just goes to show what they could’ve been doing all along.

@ian_maynor congrats!! I’ll see you around the hospital :)

@johnlimouze This has to be a joke right? There is no individual negotiation about salary or benefits at the PD level

This is massive.

Gov Tim Walz has just made Minnesota a trans refugee state with an EO!

He will decline extradition requests.
He will refuse subpoenas.
No resource can be used to enforce bans.

They will be the first state to upgrade to dark blue, safest states in my map.

How is it that Bellevue and NYU housestaff are doing the exact same work, yet Bellevue residents are paid much less just because? @nyulangone, are we worth less to you? Do our needs not matter as much?

We are the same program and we demand equal treatment!

[Rachel Percelay, MD @rpercelay]

@facebook @InnovationCU Same thing has happened to my fiancee. I'm her legacy contact on facebook - how can I help her get it back? All of our photos together are on there and we are getting married soon.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

Today we’re introducing a constitutional amendment to repeal Prop 8 & protect marriage equality in CA’s Constitution.

We’ll put it on Nov 24 ballot.

Prop 8 was a hateful attack on LGBTQ people & remains a scar on our Constitution. Given the Supreme Court’s direction, it’s time.

Stop providing rainbow 🌈 pins & stickers to your staff if you aren't adequately training them to care for LGBTQIA+ patients challenge

Conservatives love to accuse liberals of “indoctrinating” kids. So I decided to try Mike Huckabee’s Christian nationalist children’s magazine.

It’s even weirder and more dangerous than you think:

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Time to bust some anti-union myths 😉

Hospitals love to use the same half-truths & misinformation to stop residents from unionizing. Why? B/c they know we can’t find a different job like other workers & want to keep using us as cheap labor & maximize profits.

So listen up 🧵↓
