Puerto Rico never recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Maria (2017). Now, the island is completely flooded and without electricity again. Please DO NOT DONATE to the Red Cross or FEMA. Instead, send support to trusted local organizations [THREAD]:

There's been a growing movement of health equity detractors pushing back against the antiracist policies & practices medicine needs most. In my latest in @GlobeIdeas I argue how antiracism in medical training is key to improving our healthcare system. https://t.co/YHqpoTde9C

Wow. 😧 If y’all read *one* thing today, might I suggest this new article in @NEJM? “The belief that Black people have denser bones, more muscle, or thicker skin led radiologists and technicians to use higher radiation exposure during x-ray procedures.” https://t.co/e3ka3LUuT3

Again and again. Chronic disinvestment in infrastructure & governmental indifference continue to sicken communities of color. Water is life. #JacksonWaterCrisis
The EPA warned Mississippi in 2020 of "imminent" dangers for people drinking Jackson's tap water. The 80% Black city has sought repairs since the 1940s. Governor Reeves repeatedly refused requests for funding and the state only approved 6% of requested repair funds last year.

Does any other race have this conversation repeatedly w/ their loved ones? I know he is tired of having to reassure me. Every single time I hear of another case of #Murder by way of #PoliceBrutality it strikes me w/ a level of fear I can not explain. I don’t want another hashtag.
