I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

Never forget.
A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I’m killing time at the Orlando airport, so I thought I’d report on the flight cancellations based on the departures board. Of ~350 flights listed, 14 cancelled. ALTx2, DWT, GPT, IND, MCI, MIA, BNA, LGA, EWRx4, IAD. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
