Hello! 👋🏼 I’m Gloria. Feels like OG #MedTwitter! I work at UCLA Health developing #MedEd programs focused on reducing stigma and increasing access to care for people who use drugs. I live in the SoCal town that burst into flames the day after the election, so send good thoughts for our community. ❤️🩹

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

We are spending 175 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life.
This is being done in your name, with your tax dollars, on our watch. Don’t look away.

Girls face a different bind. They're encouraged to emulate “masculine” traits—assertiveness, confidence, dominance—to succeed in STEM, sports, work, and beyond ... girls frequently struggle to balance aggressive competitiveness with deferential femininity, a double standard boys don’t encounter.

Congress never declared war, so these strikes violate both U.S. and international law. Enough. Demand accountability.

As @gregsargent.bsky.social points out, Trump *has* given illegal orders.
But he’s also so allergic to democratic ideals that the very idea of a military (or any other institution) that serves the people rather than the ruler is totally illegible and incomprehensible to him.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

The real poverty line is around $140k for a family of four, but it’s perversely hard to get there:
“Every dollar you earn climbing from $40,000 to $100,000 triggers benefit losses that exceed your income gains. You are literally poorer for working harder.”
