BMC's work w/ families & babies w/ NAS is phenomenal, but this administration has done nothing except try to harm our patients and families #ourBMC #standforBMC Boston Medical Center employees to protest Melania Trump’s visit on Wednesday bostonglobe.com/business/2019/… via The Boston Globe

The number of kids I've seen go from perfectly healthy adolescents to barely able to walk up stairs is already too high #dontvape #medtwitter Teen Marijuana Vaping Soars, Displacing Other Habits nyti.ms/2M5XPdb

.Boston Medical Center must invest in a diverse workforce. That means investing in their residents and ensuring they don't face housing insecurity while taking care of our community. I stand with the CIR/SEIU residents. #ResidentBillOfRights #UnionsForAll

Today's Supreme Court ruling to allow the public charge rule to go into effect will have long-term consequences for immigrant children and families. Make no mistake; as a result, children will miss out on critical health, housing and nutrition services. ow.ly/88nf50y6iZI

The virus doesn't discriminate but our society does, the most vulnerable are going to continue to be hit the hardest, we need stronger federal economic support #Covid_19 Location Data Says It All: Staying at Home During Coronavirus Is a Luxury nytimes.com/interactive/20…

As many are thinking about ways to keep their children and families healthy during this time, a friendly reminder that vaccines are ESSENTIAL, now more than ever #VaccinesWork

#Juneteenth – the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the US – honors the commitment it takes to make equality a reality. Today, we’ll be sharing reflections from our BMC team on what the day means to them–starting w/ @_DrJ, pediatrics resident.

Emerging data on COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality has highlighted the underlying structural racism that leads to minority communities bearing a higher burden of disease. Amidst this, however, there has been false reassurance about one population in particular: #Children.

Please join us for the first Boston Medical Center @TheBCRP #HealthEquityRounds of this academic year! Thursday, Sept 3 8-9AM EST. @CJKistinMD Dr. Bob Vinci @IvysFernandez Neha Limaye, MD Rohini Jain, MD Larissa Wenren MD Alyssa Robinson, MD DMs are open if you want the webinar link!

Health Equity Rounds #HER at @TheBCRP this morning discussing the inequities of school closures on patients. Black and Latinx families have less access to internet - which as @CJKistinMD said - should be considered an essential resource during this time, like heat & electricity.

A reminder that voter fraud isnt a real problem and all attempts to stop it are (poorly) veiled attempts to keep minorties from their right to vote #blacklivesmatter The Supreme Court’s starring role in democracy’s demise bostonglobe.com/2020/09/07/opi… via The Boston Globe

In my ideal future, we celebrate trans people coming out with more fervor than finding out the ultrasound-disclosed genitalia of our children. With fewer wildfires.

Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted. #Election2020

Please share with friends and family in Georgia: If you voted absentee in Georgia, please check the status of your ballot now. If it was rejected, you have until 5pm on Friday, November 6, to fix it and make sure your vote counts. democrats.org/ga-ballot/

The GOP will lose the Presidency, and may lose the U.S. Senate, but if Americans commonly start using the term “legal vote,” as if there’s a horde of “illegal votes,” then the GOP would have won the narrative war to defend the voter suppression that allows them to retake power.

Pediatrician here to let you know that among the many policies Senator Joe Manchin just killed that American families desperately need was the Child Tax Credit, which would have lifted 4-million kids out of poverty nationwide.

No, families aren't using the #ChildTaxCredit on illegal drugs, Senator Joe Manchin They're using it for food, to keep the lights on, to stay warm, and to keep a roof over their heads

Im saying this right now so no one is surprised later, election police will accomplish nothing except making it harder for BIPOC folks to cast their votes, the people calling for election police know that, thats why they want it #VotingRightsForThePeople
