A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Criminalizing poverty is not the way to end #homelessness. This is a generational issue that requires serious solutions. Not executive orders based on hate and stigma issued by unserious people.

What would be the real world impacts of the loss of federal funding for Housing First programs? We modeled it: an additional 44,590 ppl beyond anticipated growth due to economic factors. @jabarocas.bsky.social @kirkfetters.bsky.social @ucsfbhhi.bsky.social url: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is when every single hospital in the country needs to say no. Shut down all the hospitals and see what happens.

Bad news on the economy today and Republicans are responding by raising health insurance premiums. Happy Holidays. 🎄🎅

Very proud of this middle schooler for advocating for women’s sports in Denver. We need to make sure our youth can have their voices lifted. @westword.com www.westword.com/opinion/opin...

You want to feel #inspired to start your week. Watch this video by my friend and role model, @senadorajulie.bsky.social, as she announces her run for US Senate. www.julieforcolorado.com

Vote Gonzales for US Senate. I know o will. @senadorajulie.bsky.social www.westword.com/news/julie-g...

Nearly 80% of Americans agree on a hepatitis B birth dose. Name ANYTHING ELSE that 80% of Americans agree on. Let’s use this “ACIP” vote as a moment to capitalize on this rare agreement & get RFK Jr expelled from government. #vaccines #ACIP

Case in point: ACIP just voted to postpone all votes on the birth dose of the HBV vaccine

Nothing about this administration’s actions are making us “great” or “healthy.” They are making us small, weak, and sick.

OPEN SPOT ALERT! There is an ID fellowship spot available at Boston Medical Center. Incredible team, sane workload (including consult caps and non-teaching service). Highly recommended if you're interested in TB/global health, HIV, SUD, or AMR/stewardship. Message me if interested! #IDsky #MedSky

#MedSky #HCWvsHunger, the time is upon us! Results of the 2025 competition have been certified. First, let's thank the HS/college students who handle all of the social, tech, & data for the competition. They have worked tirelessly thru final exams, illness, college application deadlines, & more! /1

Absolutely stunned and honored to see THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US on this list. I'm grateful beyond words to the five families who trusted me with their stories and allowed me to witness their struggle to secure a home.

WE ARE TRENDING!! KEEP POSTING & DONATING!! #HCWvsHunger

ACT UP NY announces HEALTHGATE, “a campaign released on the heels of World AIDS Day…that condemns Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s deadly pseudoscience-led healthcare death circus while calling for the implementation of the New York Health Act & sustained funding for public & global health”

Got mine in today! hcwvshunger.org to log your donation.

Honest question. Were kids this over scheduled and over programmed in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up? Seems like it has gotten out of hand with 3 sports, an instrument, and multiple other activities. Am I just remembering my childhood nostalgically?

Tired of doomscrolling? Me too. Donate to an organization fighting hunger, log that donation at hcwvshunger.org, & tell us about it. You’ll feel good and all of our feeds will be much more delightful. #hcwvshunger @hcwvshunger.bsky.social

OK, @jabarocas.bsky.social. I gave but #mealioidosis is a terrible team name. www.ctfoodshare.org

This nonsense is going to make things a lot harder for all of us but especially our ID colleagues. In solidarity I’m going to make my next #HCWvsHunger donation to #mealiodosis in honor of colleagues like @jabarocas.bsky.social @drjudystone.bsky.social @iddocadi.bsky.social

Donated to @wck.org because of the amazing things they do. Logged my donation for #mealiodosis because VACCINES SAVE LIVES and so does food. #hcwvshunger. Www.hcwvshunger.org to log your donation!

I sure hope UCSF does not hire Vinay Prasad back. He’s committing population level malpractice.

That whole "make America healthy again" doesn't seem to be working too well.

The work that @tradeoffs.org does on complex issues is amazing. I was honored that they asked me to contribute to this podcast on #homeless encampment sweeps--the emerging evidence. More importantly, they tell stories from ppl who have lived experience. Take a listen! tradeoffs.org/2025/11/20/h...

Vaccines don’t cause or are even remotely related to autism.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says: “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

We should ensure that every candidate running in the next cycle has an actual plan to provide health care to every single person in this country. Anything less than that should be unacceptable. #healthcare

New study out today! It answers a question I often hear from young people with opioid addiction & their families: “How long do I need to stay on medication?” We know buprenorphine can be life-saving, but until now, we haven’t had strong data to guide that timeline…

Brian is one of the most thoughtful people out there talking about one of the biggest issues in our nation. His book is a must read. And he is a must watch human. See @brian-goldstone.bsky.social tomorrow.

The fact of the matter is that there is no one path to improved health. When, however, we stigmatize, criminalize, & defund services for people w/substance use disorders, it creates a clear path for worsening health. We must stop the erosion of harm reduction. @nejm.org www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

KFF's estimate that out-of-pocket ACA premiums will increase if enhanced tax credits expire by an average of 114% has been widely reported. But, it varies a lot, especially by income. Here's what increases look like in dollar terms -- from $378 at $18,000 to $1,836 at $45,000.

Healthcare should be a human right.
