People always expect the oppressed to have compassion and never the oppressor.

- I need as many psychiatrists as possible on this bird app to make it clear that Kanye’s anti-Blackness has nothing to do with his bipolar disorder.
- The percentage of physicians who are Black men was the same in 2018 as it was in 1940. 2.6% Let that sink in.
- Just so everyone knows, if anyone ever stops speaking like that and freezes, call 911. Don’t mess around. Don’t waste time. That person needs a stat head CT.
- Y’all, the fact that the Black-white infant mortality gap is wider today than it was 15 years before slavery ended pretty much sums up how far this country has come in reckoning with racism.
- For all the folks who typically skip the flu shot, this is likely the year that you want to make sure get it.
- Wait, so experts have been raising the alarm about monkeypox for years due to outbreaks in central and west Africa and their warnings went unheeded, but now Europeans and USians are being infected so finally resources are being mobilized and funding redirected? Got it!
- Replying to @NICKIMINAJNicki, I’d love to talk to you about the COVID vaccine. Impotence is significantly more likely from COVID and there have been no documented cases of impotence associated with the COVID vaccine.
- It’s sickening, but unsurprising, what Jeff B*zos and Carnegie Mellon have done to target a Black woman professor for speaking on her and her family’s lived experiences. In case, it’s not clear, this is how the real cancel culture looks.
- The founders never intended for me to become a physician, but here we are.
- Just got stopped on the street by an older Black man who has seen me on @MSNBC and he wanted to share that he had successfully convinced two friends of his, also older Black men, to get vaccinated today. This vaccination effort is a grassroots effort too.
- This is Riker’s Island, folks. Most of these people have not been convicted of a crime. Shut it down.Look at these photos then tell me why Rikers Island should still be open.
- The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.
