Charts like this remind me why outreach to state schools and community colleges are important... but also remind me, depressingly, that medical school will never be a reality for some. No matter how smart they are, no matter how hard they work.

@umichvoter I like the term pragmatic progressive. Like… it’s genuinely baffling to demand that we should be rooting for leftists over Peltola in AK and Osborn in NE, though it makes perfect sense to root for Blouin in UT-1 or Nithya or Rae for LA Mayor.

I prefer Zohran and AOC brand in safe areas like NYC. Way too many moderates in safe seats currently But prefer mainstream candidates in swing states and districts Don't like it? I'm not your guy. But we can agree to disagree

@umichvoter Arkansas seems like the obvious answer since they’re the highest seed left but BYU seems likeliest to go deepest.

Which team is the closest thing to a Cinderella ?

@umichvoter But like, why not family medicine?

this legit must be how katniss felt when they made her do the hunger games a second time

@TakeAKnee87 WHY DO WE HAVE 80 YEAR OLDS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?!?!?!

Medicine is the profession where when the canary in the coal mine dies, leaders just ask: "Why can't we get more resilient canaries?" #burnout

Want to diversify medicine? Prioritize med school applicants from LOW INCOME zip codes and include those with underrepresented language proficiency (Spanish, Filipino, Thai) Reverse engineering the structure of medicine - which currently favors the wealthy - is NECESSARY

I’m not gonna lie, they need to stop shoving this down our throats. Kids are watching baseball and have to deal with this indoctrination.

Welcome to Pride at @OracleParkSF 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Elon Musk is actively calling for imprisoning healthcare professionals and therapists for providing care to trans youth that has been proven to lower their suicide rates by 73%. He also has declared he will lobby against their care politically. Every dime you give him hurts us.

My son is 15 I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby. I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline. When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month. He was raised Catholic, and went to church. Guess what? He is gay. The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way. If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent. They haven’t failed, you have.

Hey @Dodgers, this is shameful and you will not divide and separate our community. I hope we all boycott your “pride night” and protest this cowardly decision.

Ah, as if I needed another reason to hate the Dodgers.

I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients. If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine

Most people in my life is obsessed with the NBA playoffs right now but did anyone else just witness that ending to the second Jeopardy Masters game?! The drama!!!

@BrianAddisonLB Thanks for highlighting this bakery and Filipino culture during AAPI month! I love this place, and as I'm sure you've been able to see in your years covering the LB food scene, Filipinos are a proud people. To see our cuisine highlighted brings my heart so much joy and pride.

West LB legend Gemmae turns 30 this year. In the spirit of Prescilla Tolentino—who sold 10 of her 13 bakeries in the Philippines to open a space in LB in 1993—her daughter has taken over to assure the heart of LB’s Filipino food scene stays alive. bit.ly/44Imtr5

On Sen. Dianne Feinstein's extended absence, CNN's @jaketapper presses Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) about Democrats not pressuring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign: "How'd that work out for you? How'd that work out for Roe v. Wade?"

Step aside, Senator. You are ACTIVELY harming democracy. Also, calling on you to step down is not inherently misogynistic. You know what is? A conservative judiciary systematically dismantling legal protections for women and girls. This is so fucked.
