“We continue to use the bodies of kids as detectors of environmental contamination,"Dr. Mona, a Flint pediatrician and activist tells The Lancet. "We need to do a better job detecting lead...and removing it before kids are exposed.” #FlintWaterCrisis thelancet.com/journals/lance…

From Gaza's last maternity and neonatal hospital, in Rafah: "At the moment there are 45 babies between the neonatal intensive care unit and the special care intensive care unit. Without a doubt, if the Israeli army occupies this space, every single one of those babies will die."

“In Flint, we are often like, ‘These kids were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.’ Right now, they feel like they’re born at the right place at the right time…. It’s almost like a collective hug from society.” #RxKids mlive.com/news/flint/202…

For years, Flint has been a cautionary tale, the poster child of failed govt policy. Now Flint aims to reinvent itself. It launched an innovative, pro-family experiment that's become a key plank of Harris’s agenda: giving every newborn baby $6,000 cash wapo.st/3A3Hy4C

“For a long time we have not wanted to be remembered as the city that poisons its kids,” says Dr. Mona Hanna, godmother of Flint's "baby bonus" program. “We want to be remembered for what we do next.” wapo.st/3A3Hy4C
