It’s #GivingTuesday & we can’t do this work w/o the support of donations. Please help us continue to invest in our youth through the art of medicine. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/ILsAGbvfdP #blackdoctors #youngdoctors

Coming up on ten years of investing in our youth! ♥️🔥

Having a higher vaxx rate than another place is not the same as having a high-enough vaxx rate to stop Delta.

We actually have a high vaxx rate for measles: *95% of kindergarteners every year*

Now *that's* a high vaxx rate.

Mandated in every state.

*2* measles cases in 2021.

Wash Post analysis of traffic tickets the District issued from 2016 through 2020 shows that 62 percent of all the fines were issued in neighborhoods where Black residents make up at least 70 percent of the population and where the average median household income is below $50,000

Retweeting from two years ago. Sadly, Baldwin's words are still timely.

Happy Birthday, #JamesBaldwin!

“Howard University has rivaled the likes of Amazon and Wal-Mart in their efforts to first block and then break the Union of non-tenure-track faculty. The Administration waged a propaganda campaign to undo organizing efforts.”

Let get some future #BlackMenInMedicine on their way by getting high school kids in this @TSUedu and @MeharryMedical combined undergrad/Med School program!! We need kids from all over.

But, I am sure some of our NOPS and NOLA private school kids would be excellent!

9 years since Trayvon Martin was stolen from us. He began a movement like no other.

I am praying for @SybrinaFulton today.

On this day in 1864, Rebecca Lee Crumpler passed her final oral exams at the New England Female Medical College in Boston, MA and became the first Black woman in the United States to earn an M.D.

My father in Cairo weeks before he’d be assassinated at age 39. Despite following his every move an FBI informant called him, “a man of high moral character who neither smokes nor drinks.” He spoke truth to power, and we know that truth is timeless. Rest In Peace, Dad 2/21/1965🌟

Congrats and love to Amy Goodman as well as everyone on the team at @democracynow celebrating 25 indispensable years on the air. In an era of corporate, pro-war, right wing drift in mainstream media, what Amy and her team have accomplished is a precious miracle.
