Most school shooters don’t get guns from strangers. They get them from home.

We can change that—by locking up firearms and demanding safe storage.

Because one locked gun could save a life. #ProtectOurChildren

Do you own a gun?

✅ Lock It Up.
✅ Store Ammo Separately.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

AMFAR has published a report on how the foreign aid freeze affects PEPFAR, which actually still hasn't resumed.

They estimate that hundreds of thousands of people lose access to HIV antivirals and 1500 babies are expected to contract HIV — *each day* 🧵

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

GIFFORDS Law Center's Annual Gun Law Scorecard Every year, we rank and grade state gun laws. And every year, we come to the same conclusion: states with strong gun safety laws have fewer gun deaths.

NEW: We just released our Annual Gun Law Scorecard, which analyzes and grades every state on the strength of their gun laws.

The data is undeniable: States with stronger gun laws have lower gun death rates and more lives saved: giffords.org/scorecard

Don't let go of anyone's hand Who are we if we sacrifice others’ safety and freedom to protect our power?

Americans must heed this Portuguese phrase: “Ninguém solta a mão de ninguém.” Translated it means, “No one let go of anyone’s hand.”

This narrative is problematic
1. No evidence that vaccines cause autism
2. Vaccines save lives & prevent cancer
3. These narratives are contributing to the emergence of vaccine preventable diseases (polio, measles pertussis - all things that will NOT MAHA despite what the new administration says).

This is the most important chart published in America this week.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, I’m reminded that many in our various communities feel scared, fearful &/or vulnerable right now. I also know many don’t trust police & for good reason

You are not alone🫂

Measles cases rose to more than 10 million in 2023, WHO and CDC say The surge in the preventable disease was driven by “inadequate immunization coverage,” the agencies said.

Measles surged to 10.3M cases in 2023, claiming 107,500 lives (mostly children). Only 74% globally received the second vaccine dose, as misinformation and access issues impede progress. 🩺 🛟

The American Academy of Pediatrics is collecting stories from physicians about patients we have cared for with vaccine preventable diseases to help in their advocacy against RFK’s confirmation.

Global deaths averted by selected vaccines, cumulative 1974-2024 in millions

Someone posted this amazing graph on LinkedIn that I just needed to share because...wow

Battling Infectious Diseases in the 20th Century: The Impact of Vaccines The number of infected people, measured over 70-some years and across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, generally declined after vaccines were introduced.

Believe your eyes! Look at these beautiful figures of a ~70 year period in the US. Watch cases of measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, smallpox, hepatitis plummet with safe & effective immunizations! 🏆
