Fortunately I’ve heard from folks that Fatima has been released, though she has a long legal road ahead. The folks I met at JHSPH are some of the warmest, brightest people I know. I’m so impressed by the JHSPH alumni response and so disgusted that it is necessary.

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

RFK Jr. did HWAT kffhealthnews.org/public-healt...
So there Kennedy was in early May, crisscrossing a strip of northern Ohio that includes one of the few congressional districts that Republicans are confident they can flip in November, rotating through a wardrobe of blue suits and blue jeans.

He inspected the kitchen of a Toledo daycare center, where hundreds of the city’s tiniest residents learn and play through the federally funded Head Start program. Under the careful watch of a surgeon, and with the machine disconnected, Kennedy briefly tested the teaching console of the renowned Cleveland Clinic’s robotic hands with a live patient splayed open for heart surgery in the room. And he munched on pesticide-free squash blossoms from a 400-acre farm.

"These conditions are not just uncomfortable — they are dangerous" In a recent opinion piece for @sltrib.com pediatricians describe how fear-based immigration policies are harming children. Expanded immigration actions limit children and families’ access to vital preventive care and services.
sltrib.com
Voices: Fear-based immigration policy harms children. As pediatricians, we see it every day.
“Detention settings are, by their nature, high-risk environments for health,” write four Utah pediatricians in an op-ed.

Trump’s frenzied bloodlust must be stopped. Contact your elected officials and demand that they use every tool available to Congress to end the regime’s illegal war with Iran: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
Trump on “Truth Social”: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Recently, parents declined the Hep B vaccine for their premature baby bc they “see all the fighting about vaccines.” This dangerous rhetoric has a very real impact. Science is real, vaccines work, & opinions are not the same as decades of research. #VaccinesSaveLives www.reuters.com/business/hea...
