Generally the 4th or 5th items. Physicians don't often have the time or know how to find resources for their patients or make community connections

Treating Fear: Steps to Help Your Immigrant Patients First, remember your vocation. Caring for patients is the main thing that doctors, nurses and health care professionals do.

My colleagues Dr. Amy Blair, Dr. Monica Maalouf MD, FACP and I highlight 5 steps physicians and healthcare providers can take to support their immigrant patients. We hope this is of some assistance in our fear-ridden climate. #healthcare www.chausa.org/news-and-pub...

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

TEACHABLE MOMENT
Superman entered without inspection. This means that:
A) He cannot get status by marrying Lois Lane.
B) He is the victim of crimes, so U visa, but the wait is 15 (?) years(ish)!
C) ICE will argue he is not eligible to even ask for bond.
D) No DACA eligibility (it’s closed anyway)

Some state medical schools will no longer host a speaker like me who professes immigrants are people with human dignity because it might anger their state legislature. So, I now accept speaking invitations from student groups of any size. Disrupt the #spiralofsilence

Urgent Action Needed: Tell Congress to Remove Unjust Immigration Provisions in the Reconciliation Bill Now that the Senate has passed its version of the reconciliation bill (H.R. 1), it has been returned to the House of Representatives for further consideration in that chamber. Unfortunately, many unac...

NEW ACTION ALERT – Many unacceptable migration-related provisions were retained in the Senate’s version. Tell your member of Congress to address these provisions and to pursue meaningful immigration reform in their place.

We Are Entering Uncharted Territory Here, Folks A U.S. senator was thrown down and handcuffed as the DHS secretary announced the "liberation" of California.

Anything or anyone posting misinformation about the Pope will be immediately blocked from my social media feeds. Clearly there are those who wish to divide us by trying to persuade us that he engages in petty culture wars. Check your quotes, my friends. This is too important a moment. #PopeLeoIV

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
