The only feelings to center on are those of black community
Wrong use of this quote during the week of #DerekChauvinTrial
Some people “feel” things if a white male faces accountability
Amy Cooper’s feelings: call cops
Racism & racism lite has always focused on “feelings” #BLM

When @ayshakhoury or @uche_blackstock were authentic in their feelings: ended careers
Black female physician #DrSusanMoore having “knowledge” or a “voice”
while DYING
made others
*feel* “intimidated.”
This is part of a known pattern for WOC

This is a repeating pattern of “feelings” used against tellers of uncomfortable truths that #MLK described in the letter from the Birmingham jail.
Seeking order > justice or overpolicing are all to protect only certain “feelings” of “security” while those like #adamtoledo die.

Important perspective below
When I was a foreign grad & trainee I bought into idea: I just needed to work 3x as hard to get 1/2 as far
At mid-career, my health gave out trying for:
“be the person you needed when you were younger”
& to protect students
this system does not work

why can’t elite journals that define #EBM & #datadriven #healthcare
like @JAMA_current
focus on OUTCOMES
as experienced by PATIENTS
Why focus on LABELS certain physicians don’t like to hear?
Am a former regulator
we need quality #data by gatekeepers

14 years ago today, I watched in horror as a gunman opened fire at my alma mater, Virginia Tech.
32 people were killed and 23 were injured that day.
As a student, I'd spent countless hours in the building struck by the shooter. Here's what I've learned since.

Some of my friends had become professors at Virginia Tech, and I only learned later that they were safe.
It was an awful day that I will never forget. In the years since as Prez of @bradybuzz, I’ve become close friends w/ more survivors & their families. krisbrownbrady.medium.com/april-is-a-pai…

.@clgoddard was in French class at #VirginiaTech when he was shot 4x.
Today, those bullet fragments are still lodged in his body. He takes daily pills to prevent lead poisoning.
The toll of gun violence continues for years and lifetimes. #EndGunViolence

There is no accountability--just as #DaunteWright's mother #KatieWright said in the April 15 press conference.
98.3% of killings by police from 2013-2020 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime.

Just observing US policing, you should absolutely not believe a word of what they, their unions, or their allies in state and local government say about their murders of civilians. #AdamToledo
They routinely lie, including under oath, with impunity. Prosecutors assist them in their lying. Their lies are routinely exposed, and they face no repercussions (they're often rewarded). Until you receive overwhelming evidence to the contrary, you should assume they're lying.
It's caught on tape in Serial season 3, it's routinely exposed in police brutality cases, and I saw it up close in police statements about the murder of Sean Monterrosa and their subsequent destruction of evidence. All established facts, none held accountable.
Mother of Adam Toledo,13, has not seen the police body camera video showing an officer shooting her son in the chest. He died. She will view it next week
Family says they knew nothing about Adam having a gun. Police say they recovered a gun at the scene @cbschicago #AdamToledo

Toledo family and their attorney say the focus is on viewing the video. They do not know what it shows. Mom questioned why police had to kill him. @cbschicago #AdamToledo
Video of shooting will be released.
