I stand in solidarity with all of my colleagues who do health equity research. This work matters for the communities we serve.
This week has been catastrophic for grant cancelations and our communities are hurting terribly.
Please share and stand with us in solidarity.

Since evidently we're doing this AGAIN.

Arab and Muslim Americans deserve the dignity of not being coerced or forced into endorsing with their votes the genocide of their friends and family.

Telling people to ignore the deaths of their loved ones because they're going to die anyway is evil.

But the recent actions of Meta are shocking & horrific and create more fear & unsafety for people I love and honor & who deserve my unflinching support. I do not believe that these actions have been forced upon Meta; I believe that these are actions chosen by Meta leadership.

I'm torn. Facebook keeps me in touch with friends from throughout my lifetime, sometimes with just the light touch of a shared picture or a meaningful "Like." I will probably be able to replicate my "follows" on bluesky but if I delete Facebook I will lose a significant piece of my social existence.
