You didn’t vote for Kamala because you thought she was a warmonger and you spread that message to others. How you all holding up tonight?

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

To my fellow millennials: We were too young to stop them then. But now we’re grown. And loud. Don’t let them steal what’s left of our future — or our children’s.

All because people could not vote for a woman Specifically an Educated Over Qualified Black Woman May us never forget this fact.

Pediatrics in the U.S. is in crisis—and no one seems to care. Been sounding the alarm since November. But everyone’s still pretending it’s business as usual. If vaccines get banned by Fall 2025… Winter 2026 will be catastrophic.

“the 1.1 million international students studying in the US contributed $43.8bn to the US economy during the 2023–2024 academic year, creating 378,175 jobs nationwide.” www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

The girls fighting is market manipulation there’s no beef

Even if this didn’t hurt Republican voters more, intending for policies to hurt your own constituents who didn’t vote for you is still just bad governance

In 2023 I wrote a commentary for @jamainternalmed.com how AI can generate health disinformation using a combination of real and fake refs that look real jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Facts: ✔️25% of the US doctors are foreign trained ✔️25% of the US medical residents are foreign trained ✔️medical residents need J1 visa to be able to enter the country & start their residency training ✔️the US will suffer from doctors shortages if it stops accepting foreign trained doctors

I just want to come back to this post and say I called this a week ago…. smh ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Blocking J1 visas is going to be a healthcare crisis come July 4,000 J1 visa holders in July will be blocked 1 doctor cares for 5,000 patients/yr Up to 20 million Americans will be impacted

“What we’re witnessing isn’t just the breakdown of systems, it’s the unraveling of the illusory foundations built on domination and extraction—revealing what was always unsustainable.” —sahibzada sayed

Scientists, I am asking us to do something that goes against our nature: Step away from fine-grained, nuanced arguments. Zoom WAY out. Share the big picture. Don’t soften the seriousness of this moment with “xxx may be ok in xxx circumstances” talk. It’s uncomfortable AND necessary.

Among 1,900,146 pediatric patients, SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with higher risk of new-onset chronic kidney disease stage 2 or higher and chronic kidney disease stage 3 or higher in children without preexisting kidney disease.

Signs of a Brain drain soon to come as well

One thing I’ll give this app: physician culture here is way less toxic than the other one. Watching doctors refuse to defend the largest healthcare system in the U.S. and instead blame pediatrics for its own low salaries is honestly embarrassing.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Can’t be pro-kids and do this smh.. this harms all kids health

This is how you stop progress and demote an international university smh

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

If Harvard is blocked from bringing in international physicians . Hospitals lose doctors July 1. Patients lose care. This isn’t just red tape—it’s a healthcare crisis in motion.

To my colleagues at Harvard: We see you. We appreciate you Your sacrifice for democracy will not be forgotten

Not getting much attention, except in a recent NYTimes story, is a provision to increase the tax on university endowments and those of other nonprofits.

There are 2 kinds of people in America: Those who believe kids deserve health care And those who voted to take it away 215 House reps just cut $600M from Medicaid To hurt 37 million children So the 1% could get a tax break. And this is a reason to speak up.

First it was Medicare & Medicaid. Now it’s CHIP. Built for the kids who fell through the cracks—too rich for Medicaid, too poor for private insurance. Overlooked. Underfunded. Still saving lives. 💊 Read the post. Share it. Stay ready. #TheAdvocacyDose #CHIP #HealthEquity

“We can “follow the science” even when it scares us, instead of insisting that “we have to live our lives” until those lives go up in flames.” Violet Affleck get its! This article should be picked up by every serious outlet in mainstream media. yaleglobalhealthreview.com/2025/05/18/a...

And also says your colleagues of color are expendable as long as they don’t bother you. Huge character flaw

There’s been some “advice” coming from some quarters for scientists not to focus on DEI-related funding cuts. I wholly reject this concept. Cutting programs designed to reduce science and healthcare disparities is as detrimental to science as anything else, both morally and functionally.

This is what was always feared but the older gen Black doctors They knew this would happen. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #medsky #Blackmedsky #healthpolicy www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Good leave it alone

Very scary for the future of medical research in this country

From @commonwealthfund.org big #Medicaid cost-shifts to states will harm children. Eliminating coverage for parents will result in their children losing coverage too. States will also have to cut coverage for kids federal law doesn't require them to cover: www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2025/de...

I was talking with a friend about how medicine is falling apart. She had no idea… we have to make sure this information is getting out there!!!

Cause why did you send Harvard the rough draft copy?

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

A lot of people don’t understand tonight’s theme nor did they care to do the work to understand the history behind it and it shows Sad day for fashion history #metgala

I need boring times

Just children… try inter-generational hate.

NEW: Per multiple sources, the National Cancer Institute’s Board of Scientific Advisors has been entirely disbanded.

If you’re waiting for Black U.S. senators and reps to start the fight again before you move — you’re the problem. You see it. You’re just hoping they’ll save you. And that’s the problem Stop waiting for Black people to save you and this country.
