"One more thing," the patient says, right when I'm about to exit the exam room.

I used to be annoyed by it. Until one day, a patient's "one more thing" was actually "the" thing she wanted to say. But she needed to feel me out and make sure I was a safe person first. So, I sat back down and listened. Then we discussed and ran tests.

"You restored my faith in doctors." She took the bus just to tell me this today after making a full recovery. Her visit filled my heart with warmth and purpose.

If we ask people to wait for months for their appointments, then (sometimes) hours in our offices, we can hear them out for their one more thing.

By 14? She had her pilot's license.

By 16? She was flying her country's once exiled Sultan back to Morocco.

But by 19? She was assassinated.

In cold blood.

This is the wildly inspiring yet devastatingly tragic story of the aviatrix you've never heard of...

I recently wrote @NYTimes a letter about them cooking the books on their best seller lists. They told my publisher they didn’t rely on just “raw” sales. And they refused to run the letter. But you, dear reader, can read it here. Please spread the word.

“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.” —James Connolly on George V

Can’t your partner pretend to like something that brings you joy? Does that make him less of a person if he doesn’t like it? Or does that make him a supportive partner?

I don't get it, Brett Kavanaugh's never had a problem enjoying himself while women were protesting before

[Maggie Blackhawk @MaggieBlackhawk]

Against hundreds of years of congressional action, against solid #SCOTUS precedent, and hundreds of years of history, the Supreme Court held today that states have jurisdiction over certain crimes in Indian Country by judicial fiat. A devastating result for our democracy.

This ruling essentially permits one of the largest forced displacements of Palestinians since 1967. This is an egregious violation of Palestinian human rights. (1/2) https://t.co/0ymwJ1Oez5
