As pediatricians & trainees, we have a special role to play in the climate movement, following the lead of our patients. Time to embrace this with determination & heart! Thanks to AAP Voices for publishing a national version of my @AAPCA1 newsletter post: services.aap.org/en/news-room/a…

Thank you @selenasd @nprnews for this moving reporting

“If you're on life support, your family can take you off of life support … I feel like I should have been able to release her into heaven sooner rather than later, and I wasn't given that right." npr.org/sections/healt…

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

“Instead of being able to do this 15-minute procedure in my doctor’s office and go home, I’m sneaking out of Texas... I felt like the property of the state of Texas, just because I was carrying a baby that wouldn’t even survive.” texastribune.org/2023/06/23/tex…

Yesterday, I took mifepristone and today I will take misprostol for a missed abortion for a very wanted and very planned pregnancy. The combination has about an 85% success rate and will hopefully allow me to avoid an invasive procedure. I am really sad, and I am feeling the loss

This is my dear friend, Nakita. Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26. She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)

Proud to lead my Virginia House colleagues @RepDonBeyer, @GerryConnolly, @RepSpanberger, @BobbyScott, & @RepWexton in submitting an amendment to strip the Mountain Valley Pipeline from the bipartisan budget agreement. The MVP has nothing to do with our nation's spending.

The Manchin Dirty Deal (the Mountain Valley Pipeline and the Builder Act) are included in the debt ceiling text. Help us #StopMVP by calling elected officials to demand they pass a clean debt limit. ‼️ Email at appvoices.org/new-economy/pr… @FightFossils @AppVoices @POWHR_Coalition

Lawmakers are playing politics on the backs of your children. My cousin’s death is just “collateral damage” for gun manufacturers, who make BILLIONS in producing assault weapons. Please show up and help me demand action in DC starting June 6. The NRA is counting on your inaction.

@LisaPatelMD Ugh I’m so sorry Lisa - sending hugs too

🧵 In 2018, my cousin & best friend Alex Schachter was killed by a gunman with an AR15 in Parkland. I am sick & tired of congressional inaction. On June 6th, I will sit-in at the US Capitol to demand a vote to #BanAssaultWeapons. I invite others to join me.

Hey! Pediatrician here… Children aren’t supposed to get shot. Anywhere… any time… at any age.

Happening today at 3:30 PM EST! Please join @MS4SF for our annual symposium that will showcase our members' incredible dedication to the fields of #sustainability and #environmentaljustice in medicine. Link below! @docsforclimate #medtwitter #climatehealth

Hi DC friends, please sign this letter urging DC Council not to cut the clean energy budget and delay energy efficiency standards! act.sierraclub.org/actions/DC?act…

I often get asked about my faith as an activist. As the mainstream understanding of what a Christian is is now a homophobic, misogynistic, forced-birther, capitalist, I used to find my self tripping over my words to aim to explain as quickly as possible that that isn’t my faith🧵

So if judges can practice medicine, can doctors practice law?

When do the guns start making us safer? Text FED UP to 644-33 to help us do something about it.

Yesterday, we were expelled from the Tennessee state house. Today, we were talking to the White House about common sense gun laws and protecting our democracy. We fight on! ✊🏾

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.
