Educating ourselves about the divisions in US society is key to health education, equity, and important to the public health field’s advancement -- especially in times like these. As a resource, I'm pleased to share a book I co-edited - available today!

BREAKING: Appeals court finds Obamacare pillar unconstitutional in suit over HIV-prevention drug 🧵: I report for NBC: If the Supreme Court ultimately takes the case and overturns the pillar, this could have a big impact on out-of-pocket costs for many preventive tests and interventions, including for the HIV-prevention pill, known as PrEP.

THREAD. Two Harvard professors published an academic article calling for 500,000 more armed cops, who they say will arrest 7.8 million more people per year. The article reveals alarming flaws in elite academia at a time of rising fascism. This is one of my most important posts.
