I’ve lost count of the number of diabetic patients I’ve treated in the ICU when they can’t afford and run out of their insulin.

It is a privilege of our democracy that we have debates in which we can hear from our president that he will not denounce white supremacy, and in fact says, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.” It is also depressing that it has come to this.

This is where cigarette smoke analogy is perfect. Picture Trump exhaling smoke for 1.5 hours in a closed room. Do you think Joe Biden would have smelled it? 6 ft does not work indoors-hopefully room had excellent ventilation and the air draft was blowing away from Biden. (2/end)

What Trump’s tweet actually says: 1. Based on past behavior he won’t be isolating. 2. He is not afraid of COVID because he has a personal doctor & free access to one of the best hospitals in the world. 3. Dexamethasone makes him feel awesome! Now how about #UniversalHealthCare??

“... truth is neither liberal nor conservative. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.” nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

This is exactly right. It’s not pandemic fatigue, but rather frustration because it doesn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to be this way.

The media is referring to last night’s VP debate as “civilized”, a term rooted in colonizer ideology. Even though there was no yelling or bullying, Pence lied, evaded. gaslighted and interrupted throughout the entire debate. His behavior was violent towards Harris in its own way.

Blessed to have a platform I can use to speak the truths in my heart. So many scholars before me have informed my thinking and I’m so grateful for their work which informs mine everyday.✊🏾💛 Thank you again for having me Chelsea Clinton, looking forward to continuing the work!

His ever escalating levels of hypocrisy are mind-blowing. Will US limitations on the funding of #stemcellresearch be lifted? Does this mean his administration will stop opposing #electiveabortions? ... Since that’s how Regeneron’s therapy is made... politico.com/news/2020/10/0…

“HCWs in the ED (31.64%) were more likely to contract COVID-19 compared with HCWs in the ICU (23.17%) and inpatient settings (25.53%).” All very high rates and very important statistics for understanding how we can improve our protections of frontline workers. #GetUsPPE

Excellent graphic detailing what we can expect if we do not change our behaviors as we move into winter. Historically, the more common cororaviruses are at a low in Oct. Cases climb in Nov/Dec before reaching a plateau in Jan/Feb followed by a slow decrease. Rethink #Quarantine

Infuriated on behalf of the healthcare providers who couldn’t get their vaccines today (but still have to show up to their shifts tonight) because of Trump inciting and encouraging a violent coup.

I’m old enough to remember when a Black woman who was having a mental health crisis breached the barriers with her car at The Capitol and the Capitol police promptly shot and killed her w/ her 13-month old baby in the car.

“The election wasn’t rigged. I was wrong to imply it was. This has gotten out of hand. I didn’t sign up for an armed insurrection. I swore an oath to the Constitution, and I let the moment blind me and imperil democracy itself. I am sorry.” - Actually no one has said this yet.

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

This and so much more. Bodily autonomy is no place for the government. Furthermore medical decision making is a collaboration between people and their medical providers - not the government.
