Mid decade redistricting in South Carolina has failed!!!!! Great news! I will now resume my regularly scheduled advocacy for actual fair maps, because the current map was also drawn by the SCGOP and we still deserve better. ❌ ☑️

The way I’m about to become a professional gas and eggs price tracker is absolutely astonishing.

Kamala Harris wanted to give every family with a newborn a tax credit, make the child tax credit permanent, and help families buy homes, but y’all said that was “communism”.

I cannot overstate this… if you are afraid that your child is going to have a gender affirming surgery at school but you aren’t afraid they may be shot at school, there is no way we’re living in the same nation.

Trump: Can you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school and your son comes back with a brutal operation.

Hey! Pediatrician here… Children aren’t supposed to get shot. Anywhere… any time… at any age.

Suggesting the death penalty for Luigi Mangione while celebrating the freedom of the Tate brothers is objectively fucked.

A simple reason RFK Jr doesn’t understand that nutrition and lifestyle medicine are already a huge part of a modern medical school education is he didn’t f****** go to medical school and isn’t a f****** doctor. Hope this helps.

I’m leading a team at @HHSGov, along with @EDSecMcMahon, targeting the woeful lack of nutrition education in medicine. We can reverse the chronic disease epidemic simply by changing our diets and lifestyles, but to do that, we need nutrition to be a basic part of every doctor’s

Last night a group of parents were violently attacked by proud boys outside a California school board meeting where the parents were defending LGBTQ kids — even pepper spraying a religious clergy member for holding a Pride flag in solidarity. This is not “parental concern”.

I really can’t express just how infuriating this stunt is while the administration dismantles the very foundation of this country’s pediatric health care system. Tone deaf doesn’t even begin…

In the last 3 days I’ve been called groomer, pedophile, baby-killer, sodomite, faggot, murderer… I’m just a young queer pediatrician who understands science, empathy, and patient autonomy. Sling all the mud you want, bc I’m not changing.
