You won’t find a more dedicated, devoted group of doctors than those at Highland FM/AJHC. We complain about how hard it is to help our patients achieve good outcomes given multiple structural inequities, racism/sexism/xenophobia, threats to insurance coverage…

The U.S. won’t achieve true greatness until it admits it never had it. Slavery, genocide, segregation, internment camps, this isn’t a golden age, it’s a wound we’ve never treated. If greatness is the goal, justice must be the path.

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..." I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is: "no one's calling my office"

The Trump administration claims that expanding oil and gas drilling would help lower grocery costs. In reality, increasing American oil production—which is already booming—would have little to no effect.

Just had another trip on @amtrak.com - amazing people working at the Albany-Rensselaer station today, they went out of their way to see that a couple dozen people got home 3 hours sooner. Your staff is one of your best resources!

"Health disparities research" is a field of study where researchers look at how things like race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status can influence health outcomes. Now any gov't website about this says "page not found". This is a dystopia that I did not imagine that we'd be living through.

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021. What happened to backing the Blue? Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder. Don’t ever lecture America again. About anything.

And sometimes the denials are potentially life-threatening. Denying/delaying buprenorphine to someone in early recovery - WHICH HAPPENS - puts them at risk of withdrawal and relapse, and damages their trust in our collective ability to help them. And relapse could be fatal.
