Classic poem. #lawyers #impeachtrump Each lawyer has a lawyer And they're all hunting witches Megyn's no Diane Sawyer White House full of snitches Each lawyer's lawyer's lawyer Reads their Lawfare daily Lawyers' lawyers' lawyers' brawlers Get ready for the melee When a lawyer's lawyer's lawyer Memoranding through the rye Meets a lawyer's lawyer's lawyer, May a lawyer testify? How many lawyers' lawyers Can file a meta-brief? And how many judges' judges Confer injunctive relief? Jews call on one true Judge. (Be they a Mother or Father.) But even heaven needs a hedge. God should get God a lawyer. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WXDSWBYn0/?igshid=1trbpu6o8rvwu

Today, D4CC leadership and a group of California physicians sent a letter to Acting Secretary McAleenan of DHS and Secretary Azar of HHS, requesting immediate access to the San Ysidro detention center in southern California to run a pop-up flu vaccination clinic for detainees. If CBP won't provide vaccines to prevent a potential epidemic and deaths, D4CC will. #FightFlu #FluVaccines4Migrants https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gAXsUBuUQ/?igshid=1iuzenj3dg6ic

Epistemology A #poem Half the block is at funerals As my blossoms glisten heedless spring. I can vouch for millennials as if I know, in middle age, a goddamn thing. How would I know what it means to live in a city where fewer murders is a goal you have to give a shit to rise to, like a welder on a girder. I have carpeted with bougie style my ruts and brought comfort to those I love– every leader here’s a racist or a yutz, I don’t know the party I’m a member of. How do I know what others live through daily crying, in testament not mine, “Eli, Eli”? *** Tags #poemsofinstagram #Baltimore #DoctorsWhoCreate #poetry (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C5EVih5VJ/?igshid=1v0iy3r2wwii6

I want to wish everyone a year as full as a pomegranate with felicitous phenomena. A year of hearing and being heard. A year of deliberating carefully to find evil and defeat it. A year of joy in its time, & sadness if it must come. A year to lift & gaze up. #roshhashana5780 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AmzP1BDDW/?igshid=1d6osk6gg8egy

Tomorrow! Concerning #Measles: A Panel Discussion on the Outbreak and #Jewish Community Responses in #NewYorkCity Thursday, September 19, 2019 6:00 PM  8:00 PM Dodge Room, Earl Hall 2980 BroadwayNew York, NY, 10027 Over the past year, New York State has experienced the worst outbreak of measles since the 1980s, with the majority of cases appearing in ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities. The community centered aspect of the measles outbreak has been a focal point of the media coverage, yet much of this coverage glosses over how we should understand such a “religious” identification. In this panel event, we aim to get beyond the headlines to consider a range of questions. To what extent—and in what ways—is this an “ultra-Orthodox” issue? How are the affected communities responding or mobilizing at the local level? What does vaccine hesitancy, and, more broadly, anti-vaxx activism signal? Is it a rightful exercise of freedom of religion? Or suspicion of the state? Both, more, or something else altogether? And, finally, how does this outbreak speak to the longer history of the relationship between minority communities and the institutional infrastructure of public health?

11 months from #Pittsburgh. A friend wrote: "Today is 11 mos from October 27th (Heshvan 18). It is the last day we said Kaddish for the 11 kedoshim from that day. Joyce Fienberg Richard Gottfried Rose Mallinger Jerry Rabinowitz Cecil Rosenthal David Rosenthal Bernice Simon Sylvan Simon Daniel Stein Melvin Wax Irving Younger" What my friend didn't say, but I will say: remembering that act, and the people killed, means remembering it in its particulars, and not falsely analogizing it to other acts. It means not dissolving #antisemitism into some Amalekite mysticism, but attending to its particular phenomena on our American soil. Just to be super clear about this since it appears to be eluding many of my coreligionists: white supremacist fascist antisemites have more power, are more violent, and kill. left wing antisemites are important, should not be ignored, but are not in power and aren't killing. #fascism #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/B2j1TSbh7R6/?igshid=1itokahiuviej

My piece in #NEJM with @prof.d.goldberg. It's about clinicians' obligation to change systems. Perspective: Faced with gastroesophageal reflux disease, a behavioral health disorder, and difficulty navigating the U.S. health care system, a Honduran immigrant stops working and takes up a collection to return home.
