I know death is an expected part of the job, but it’s really hitting me hard today. We sure do witness a lot of death in medicine. Today, I’m thinking of all the patients I’ve lost in my short career, the ones whose names I remember and the ones whose names I never got to learn.
from this day onward, I hope that my existence continues to make you uncomfortable in the choices you have made. one day history will show that we’re on the side of humanity and righteousness and all the excuses you have made throughout the last 76 years will fail to hold up.
it’s clear from how so many of you talk that your communities are not primary targets of the two major parties. any way it goes tomorrow, my community knows that our people and our lives don’t mean anything to the people who run this country.
over the last year I’ve learned the true value of my community. I don’t have to explain this grief to them. I don’t have to worry about being betrayed my their political choices. I don’t have to wonder if they view me & my people as humans or as deserving the same rights as them
trying to figure out how to reconcile the reality of people voting for one of two psychopaths in less than a week without feeling a sense of deep, deep betrayal #VoteJillStein
some days I see a headline and immediately look for the date bc surely someone is sharing old news. but no. Israel just repeats the same crimes over and over and this literally insane world just sits by and lets it happen.
sooo if Israel already killed the man they were “targeting” in Beirut, why do their attacks continue? oh wait…maybe it’s never about what they pretend it’s about
“are people protesting the DNC just bc of the genocide?”
when did we start minimizing the worst crime a state can perpetuate on a population? it’s not “just” anything.
our collective humanity is on the chopping block, and we’re just causally hacking away.
@ DNC, crazy to think you can come to Chicago, the city with the largest Palestinian population in the US, and not be received with demands to answer for your betrayal
