If the last few days have taught us anything - who we elect matters. A LOT. Please #gotv!

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

#BlackHistoryMonth fact of the day

Anarcha, Lucy & Betsey were
enslaved women in Alabama that Dr. J Marion Sims experimented without consent or anesthesia. Anarcha was experimented on the most, >30 times.

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato.

Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

‘I don’t have words’: 2 more kids from Liam Ramos’ Columbia Heights school taken into ICE custody The children were taken into ICE custody after their mother was detained at a court appointment.

“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” principal Jason Kuhlman said about the second grader and fifth grader.

We were to share our interesting case presentation - and my first senior author experience! - at the poster session. Dr Natalie Smith did a great job AND we had great feedback from the viewers! #wspr2026 #neosky

Looking forward to hearing emerging omics expert @jrinthenicu.bsky.social speak tomorrow!! #neosky

In Carmel for #WSPR and missing #neotwitter (but not enough to get back on Twitter). Here’s to hoping #neosky posts about it here!

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

Was sooo nervous at the 2 minute mark but now so relieved!

AAP learned this week that seven grants to AAP under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are being terminated. The sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families.

Today is World Prematurity Day - a reminder of the challenges facing newborns & families.

The U.S. has one of the highest preterm birth rates among developed nations & ranks poorly in maternal & infant health outcomes.

It's time to address systemic inequities & improve care for every mom & baby.

Recently, parents declined the Hep B vaccine for their premature baby bc they “see all the fighting about vaccines.” This dangerous rhetoric has a very real impact. Science is real, vaccines work, & opinions are not the same as decades of research. #VaccinesSaveLives

Election Day is almost here - you can drop off your ballot or vote in person! #gotv #vote #yesonprop50

The Dodgers would be nothing and nobody without immigrants. They won this game - and this entire series - because of immigrants. In that sense, they represent the absolute best that this country has to offer.

I hope they remember all this when the White House invitation arrives.

Red text says "no lectures by war criminals" in large letters. Underneath is a black and white photo of IDF Brigadier General Elon Glassberg. The Apartheid-Free Baltimore logo is in the upper right corner.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
