MANY more pediatricians that bring hope, facts, and clarity. If you’re a parent or grandparent, or just want solid info on child health, search #PedSky 👶🏼💕👧🏽

There will be coffee. And raindrops. And hungry pup wags. And my daughter’s hug.

Hope. Hold it. Goodnight, all ✨

Welcome and we’re so sorry 💔

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

I mean there are just a few things going on ❤️

Thank you Chris.

No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago.

We are everything.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its’ children. -Nelson Mandela

Outfits and accessories (car, bed, lots of other fun things) are *always* avail secondhand online, garage sales, etc. You’ll save a ton.

Also, figure out a storage plan for said items now…. They multiply exponentially 💕

…made it all the more clear how horrifying this process is for families who don’t have the privileges that we do.

The point of yesterday was fear. We were meant to be in fear. Juan was meant to fear being in protest. Americans were meant to fear exercising their constitutional rights.

Sending love and hopes for rest for you and your kiddos this weekend. Absolutely nothing about this is ok. 💔

My family & I are still processing the events of the past 24hrs. There is so much to say; for now I will keep it brief:

Juan was observing the situation at the ICE detention facility alongside other elected officials. He was in a designated protesting area & was standing peacefully when video shows

Pritzker calls on state agencies to investigate feds’ treatment of children at South Shore raid The governor said Friday that two state agencies will contact families and children impacted by the raid to gather more information and hold federal agents accountable if allegations of abuse or neglect emerge.

Governor JB Pritzker has ordered two state agencies to investigate the treatment of children during this week's immigration raid on a South Shore apartment building and hold federal agents accountable if abuse or neglect is found.

that is clearly a gosling

Unfollowing now ☹️

Of the 208 children with vaccine information available, 89% of those who died of the flu last year had not been fully vaccinated against flu.

This is the way ❤️

Speaking for all physicians and healthcare providers here. When we see patients in need of care especially in an emergency room we do not leave them for dead. We do not care about their immigration status, we treat them because that is what we took an oath to do and is also basic human decency.
