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. ❤️🩹

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.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

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.

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

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.”

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

"Dogs don't bark at parked cars" is an all-time great line
"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.
