"you are enough your work is enough you are needed your work is sacred you are here and i am grateful " -Adrienne Maree Brown #BlackLivesMatter

@DrJessicaElm @NIHB1 @MelissaLWalls @BenDAronson These are great!! Is there a way to cite them in a publication I am working on?

Excellent work @NIHB1 ... Almost like I was an advisor on this one-pager. #fundamentalcauses #SourcesofStress @MelissaLWalls @BenDAronson @NIHB1

@ShikhaJainMD @cvspharmacy I responded to a medical code for an adult who was emergently hypertensive and in DKA, once we got him back, he told us that he tried to fill his insulin and BP meds at CVS, and he couldn’t afford them. CVS told him there was nothing they could do to help, he left without them

Hey @cvspharmacy my CANCER patient went to fill her pain medication prescription and the pharmacist refused to fill if bc she felt uncomfortable and then KEPT the prescription so she got readmitted to the hospital in severe pain. This is unacceptable!!!

@trixiemattel Legendary

@cclareMDMPH 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Black folx, normalize no longer using the terms “pipeline” and “stakeholder”….our Native American colleagues would appreciate it

@choo_ek @ProfAlang It took me so long to figure out this was a joke, because it’s also real.

@ProfAlang Lol

@trixiemattel Pictures please!!!😎💕💓

i'm going to the barbie premiere tonight bitch.

@DrJessicaElm Thanks for looping me in!

An extension of the systemic erasure & violation of the trust responsibility @CDC. This $56 Mill. budget request for addressing maternal mortality has no mention of tribal governments - only states. This is NOT #equity. @ajcalac @Tess_abe

@trixiemattel One of my favorites!!

Please join to learn more, support, and advocate! DRESS Syndrome awareness day July 16th @DRESSFoundation fb.watch/luX2D1_1kR/?mi…

@ajcalac As you know my personal relationship with the AMA is rocky at best, but I was very happy to see their statement today!💪🏾

AMA: Affirmative action ruling "undermines the health of our nation." Also has guidance for Native American medical students and physicians. Tribal membership =/= race, "even when restrictions on race-conscious admissions policies are in effect." ama-assn.org/press-center/p…

@vlocarmen The other thing I like to remind myself is that the Supreme Court is not my supreme anything. Sure their decisions affect me, but they certainly don’t represent me or my people.

Reminder: Native Americans & Alaska Natives are not a racial group. We are sovereign Nations. We have treaties. We have a political status distinct from racial status. The rights of Indigenous Peoples are inherent & can still be considered in university admissions.

Listen and learn one of the many reasons why the SCOTUS decision is what it is. open.spotify.com/episode/24QptJ…

@DrQuinnCapers4 💪🏾✊🏾

Who’s with me?

#SupremeCourt #AffirmativeAction THREAD 1/ Emerged from along day in cath lab with a heavy heart. After US Colleges and universities used race to keep people of color out of college (and locked out of the American dream) for more than 200 years, and half-heartedly attempted

@Dr_mac2 Be patient, compassionate, and honest. Everything will be ok, just take one problem at a time. And maybe rounding at the coffee spot midway

Senior residents (and attendings) of #Medtwitter what advice do you have for us new seniors leading fresh (Re: July) interns? First shift tomorrow and I’m as anxious, as I am excited 😬

It’s been a year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, 14 states have banned most abortions, leaving millions of women and girls with nowhere to turn for the care they need.   And yet, there are reasons to hope.  After Roe v. Wade was overturned, voters in Michigan, California, and Vermont helped enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions. And governors in states like Nevada, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania have signed executive orders to protect abortion access.

@IssakaMD @fredhutch @UWMedicine Well deserved!! 👏🏽🥂
