It's interesting (and maddening) that for ALL the worry about communities of color being hesitant about receiving the COVID vaccine, what I am mostly hearing are stories of people wanting the vaccine but not being able to ACCESS it in their community.

With SO many people newly paying attention to inequities in kidney disease, I feel like we should launch a new slogan this #NationalKidneyMonth " #KidneyHealthEquity : Come for the GFR estimation, (please) STAY for the full dismantling of structural racism"

So much poetry in this #Election2020 announcement. Nov 7 is the anniversary of when @JoeBiden was first elected to the Senate and Pennsylvania, his birth place, is the state that put him over the 270 mark. And EVERYTHING about @KamalaHarris being elected VP is PURE poetry❤️

@Thurka149 💔Very sorry to hear. One student in a class I taught in virtually recently, had her name phonetically spelled out on the virtual platform, i.e. Deidra Crews [pronounced Dee-DRAH Cruise]. I found that to be a clever 'nudge'.

This Impeachment Trial proves that there is NOTHING more motivating than the threat of losing political power, not even when the defendant literally sent a violent mob to attack those who would later vote to acquit him. Quite remarkable.

As this trying yr comes to a close, I am reflecting on lessons from 2020 that I hope we take into 2021: 1-we are inextricably linked 2-we need each other far more than we do ‘things’ 3-a common enemy gives rise to ingenuity & collaboration Let us make that 'enemy' injustice
