It’s easier to access street drugs than it is to access help. Imagine how many lives we could save if we made harm reduction and recovery treatment as accessible β€” or more accessible! β€” than street drugs.

Does anyone in the world have an actual positive case to make for continuing to attach health insurance to employment in the US? Is there any good reason at all to keep doing this?

As a UNC Chapel Hill student who is currently still sheltering in place with no updates other than the sound of sirens and helicopters, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. This shouldn’t happen. We shouldn’t have to go to class in fear of our lives. We need legislative change.

Telling people to "resume normal activities" after spending 3+ hours fearing for their lives pretty much sums up how common this kind of trauma has become.

The front page of tomorrow's The Daily Tar Heel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Racism sucks. 1 in 5 Asian Americans say they have hidden a part of their heritage – cultural customs, food, clothing or religious practices – from non-Asians. Fear of ridicule and a desire to fit in are common reasons, according to a new Pew survey. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

The CDC wants to stop telling people to isolate for five days when they are sick with COVID. This is a reckless, anti-public health policy that contravenes science, increases disease spread, and puts everyone at greater risk. 🧡

It's certainly not a coincidence that a protest that existed peacefully for days escalates hours after the university sends in a cavalry to arrest dozens of students. This is why police force should always be an absolute last resort

The brave students at Columbia and other universities have held a mirror to the face of the US empire. The state uses extreme force against its own children at home in a futile attempt to crush their dissent against the state's facilitation of a genocide abroad.

Excited to share our latest publication in JAMA Network Open that examines the impact of Medicaid Expansion on mortality rates among formerly incarcerated people.
