In a new Milbank Quarterly Perspective, I propose four actions that we in the #healthequity community can take to be more inclusive & clearer about how our work benefits *all* communities, including White ones. #communityengagement #populationhealth onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

President Trump claims his rollback of DEI initiatives will return the U.S. to a meritocracy. But to see what he's doing as just eliminating corporate inclusion programs is to misunderstand the consequences of his actions, writes Nikole Hannah-Jones. https://trib.al/0BuMdZN

The GOP's House-passed megabill would increase the U.S. deficit by $2.8 trillion over a decade when considering economic effects, according to the CBO.

Of 14,777 unique articles on the NYT's homepage over the 310 days from 1/1/24 to Election Day, 293 articles–almost one a day–focused on Biden’s age compared with just 27 articles focused on Project 2025, a ratio of 10.9 to one mediabiasdetector.seas.upenn.edu/blog/new-yor...

The Trump administration is "willing to not just slash and burn research that challenges their political ideology but to replace it with shoddy studies designed to support their goals, under the guise of scientific legitimacy," @katherinejwu.com writes.

A blockbuster study from Irene Papanicolas and colleagues linking wealth to mortality. - At every US wealth level., mortality rates were higher than Europe's - The wealthiest Americans have a survival rate similar to the poorest northern/western Europeans www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

I’m so proud of my fellow National Academy of Medicine members for writing this statement, and so honored by the opportunity to endorse it. A government that wages war on science is not a government fit to lead. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/s... @mason4c.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

A record 533 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in state legislatures in 2024. A #healthpolicy researcher explains how these policies can harm the health of not only LGBTQ+ people, but all Americans: https://buff.ly/418bZRM (Nathaniel Tran, University of Illinois Chicago) #polisky 🩺 #lgbtq

#DEI: “CDC has mandated that all scientific manuscripts produced by its researchers that are under review at a journal be withdrawn so that certain language relating to gender can be stripped from them.” #EpiSky #PublicHealth #SocialEpi www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hopefully this week will prove to be a teachable moment heralding a quick course correction, because there’s one thing that Democrats can never say about Trump’s plans: that they weren’t told. newrepublic.com/post/191029/...

Got my Xmas gift early this year when it became clear my neighbors at a recent holiday party thought my upcoming "big birthday" was 40.

I had so much fun & was so honored to sit & talk all things #healthequity & #populationhealth with @rheaboydmd.bsky.social for the Health Affairs "Reseach and Justice for All" podcast. Thank you for the opportunity! Check it out: www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/h...

Far-right militias are trying to insert themselves into the Trump administration’s plans for mass deportations.

Running away from words is a losing game for #healthequity, #DEI & #socialjustice champions. They’ll just ban the words we use instead, ad infinitum. Instead, we must demonstrate that our goals benefit ALL communities, that “zero sum” is a choice, & that all people win when all people can thrive.

Community & patient engagement can help make our population health science more relevant, resonant, sustainable & impactful. Join @iaphs.bsky.social in Pittsburgh next September to learn about the methods, money & movements that drive #communityengagement #populationhealth & #healthequity

Not sure I 100% agree. We know all about the #sdoh & vital conditions & their role in #populationhealth & #healthequity. Sure, let’s prioritize implementation, evaluation and health policy science re the upstream actions we need to take. But I’d put my SDOH $$ on marketing & community organizing

Struggling to figure out which self to show here. Don’t want another work dissemination channel. Don’t want to keep it strictly business. Yet afraid to share too much.
