As a fellow New Yorker and a physician with a love for learning languages, I went to see where Dr Smith practiced over 150 years ago. A @Starbucks is now in that approximate location.

One of the best threads yet on the implications of the Taliban’s takeover for India
I am seeing a lot of emotional analysis on Indian media about the Taliban. Some have accused the new Taliban government of cowering to the Pakistani deep-state. THREAD
APA is on the right side of history. It is a just and humanitarian call for action. @APAPsychiatric @md_pender @NIH_NIAMS @WhiteHouse
APA and its members stand ready to support those impacted by the events in Afghanistan over the weeks and months ahead. We must ensure that our country provides the needed mental health resources to address this traumatic situation for all who need them.

The Taliban announces that it will enter areas in Kabul that “the enemy” left to maintain security against riots, looting, and theft. The international community will judge if they fulfill their commitment to enter Kabul peacefully: alemaraharabi.org/?p=161493
