Recognizing Black Public Health Leaders Through History | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Researchers, physicians, and activists who have inspired Bloomberg School faculty and shaped the field of public health

As we say goodnight, a reminder that from lifesaving research to community care, Black innovators have shaped public health at every turn.

We honor their brilliance, resilience, and impact. Black history is American history. Just a few public health heroes below.

Happy Black History Month!
❤️🖤💚

This. This is why I will never set foot in a church again. They are NOT safe. When we put cishet men in positions of power, especially white cishet men, it does not end well for the women, the trans folks, and the children who are under that "authority".

Dancers, a cat, and the ocean. Alex Steed, we might be soulmates. 😆🩵

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

Subject: London talk the title of my talk October 25 in London, audience "500, 35 pounds paid attendance each "An Evening on Evolutionary Biology: An overview covering Feminism, Transgender, Homosexuality and Honor Killings." $3000 for me (i will already be in London paid for by Imperial College) and an almost certain corporate $3000 add on just as you outlined-this will create an immediate internet wave especially in the UK with coverage in all the major newspapers and so on anyway i will concentrate on it, to the exclusion of individual pieces at the moment all best

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

Y’all want division to be THE problem because you don’t want to deal with the racists. Specifically the ones you know, love, and admire. Especially the one in your own heart. Unfortunately, that commitment to an only sometimes soothing delusion is powerful enough to break a nation.

Even if they release body cam footage, take off their masks, get more training, they are still responsible for detaining and deporting thousands of our family, friends & neighbors every day.

ICE doesn't need new rules. It needs to be dismantled entirely.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.

As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

Ah! That makes sense.

Human beings.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

As a sexual abuse survivor this stuff has had me spiraling and your post just made me laugh for the first time today. Thank you. 🩵

Feel free to bring a meal, bring donations of shelf stable food, or just bring yourself!
Come as you are! All are welcome!

Can confirm this place is out there and doing great work supporting the communities that need it most.

Check out their Insta if you want to see more of what they're doing and their excellent badassery.

Pow Wow Grounds

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support.

“We Are Facing a Tsunami of Hate”: Amid ICE Crackdown, Unions and Community Groups Call for Minnesota Shutdown in 10 Days Following the ICE murder of Renee Good and an assault on the state by federal immigration forces, a labor-community coalition is calling for residents to refuse to work, shop or go to school on Januar...

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

YES!!!!!!!!!

Dude....I can't even imagine still being there. I feel like it's just going to get harder for people to realize something is rotten in Denmark because they won't see opposing thoughts.

I legit just cackled. 🤣

Literally. My main takeaway from that episode is that Michael might need a sabbatical from bad airport books. 😆

ACAB. One bad apple ruins the bunch.

I've been seeing that AND a fucking commercial encouraging immigrants to register with the government and leave voluntarily and "you might be able to come back." 🤬

God, these assholes aren't even trying to cover their absolute disdain for poor folks. 🙄 Also, of course AG dolls are made in China, Karen!!!!!!
