Louisa Gag, a 36 year old passionate advocate and transportation planner, died while riding her bike to Boston City Hall, where she worked on @ridebluebikes.bsky.social and Vision Zero. She was hit by the driver of large truck on Tremont Street at Parker Street. This interview 😭 (1/3)

Two close friends from med school are unable to start residency due to visa approval delays. A third friend is facing potential deportation after a surprise hearing on their asylum status. The Trump Administration is f’ing up these resident physicians’ future & jeopardizing the healthcare system.

Every cyclist death is heartbreaking, but it hits even harder when it's an advocate like this. It's infuriating and saddening. These deaths, especially on roads that are known to be dangerous, are simply policy choices.

True. Unfortunately medical training ingrains a propensity to put up with unpaid or underpaid labor. Thankfully my residency program is unionized. And I am going to do my darnedest to say no to unpaid/volunteer labor.

I have a few more rotations to finish med school after taking time off. Was initially unready to leave the confines of being a student, but after a few days on rotation I’m feeling ready to move onto the next stage of training & get paid. It never gets easier…just different levels of hard.

Thanks for the update! Been thinking of you! I appreciate how you do things your own way/choose what is best for you. I am taking a yr between med school and residency to focus on my health and explore other things along the way. Here’s to doing things our way & not letting the system get us down!

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

Adoption of air conditioning in Europe at U.S. levels would bring massive health benefits, while the emission implications would be minuscule, unlike many suggest - and, done right, it would help the clean energy transition by boosting electrification and clean energy. 🧵

Thanks Dr. Ferro! Would love to connect. Yes! Definitely along the lines of - I knew these things but didn’t practice them well in med school, and it caught up to me this year. So l’m thankful I have a year to rest and implement good self-care to carry forward with me into residency.

I’m going to continue taking time off from organizing & advocacy to focus on self-care & a gradual transition to residency. The goal is to be sustainable for the long-term. Here’s to building back my health & habits & realigning priorities to start residency on strong footing next year. ❤️ 💪 🧠 🌊 🌱

After 7 years of grad school and (frankly) burning the candle at both ends for a long time as a med student and community organizer, this will be my 1 year of rest and replenishment. I have some creative and clinical plans in mind for the year ahead, and hope to also write and document the journey.

But after Match Day, it became clear that I needed to care for my health before taking care of others. I’m grateful for the understanding and support from my school and my residency program in helping me make this decision. I’ll be doing things a little differently, and am grateful to do so.

I didn’t shared this here bc I have been figuring out *stuff* but I am grateful to share that I matched at Harbor-UCLA for Family Medicine residency, and have also been granted a 1-year deferral to start. I get to return home for training and will get strong, thorough training in the county system.

Contributor: The Wilshire subway took 46 years. Future projects should skip the decades of objections

California can't afford to entertain lawsuits and stalling by local entities. Transit, like housing, is too important to let NIMBYs interfere.
