I'll be there. Who'swith me? #JohnLewis #GoodTrouble

Build community
Love others with abandon
Joy is resistance

Please understand what a horrific miscarriage of justice this is. One day, our children and grandchildren will study this time and view this practice with horror and disbelief. Make no mistake: future generations will judge all of us for what we do in this moment. Silence is not an option

I'll be there, how about you?

Dear US citizens, Whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

We CANNOT allow this to stand. History will judge all of us for what we do in this moment

This is an excellent explainer. Read it to prepare yourself to watch and oppose the looming disaster.

Medicaid cutsnwont ONLY affect those on Medicaid

Concentration camp? -mass detention without trial -targeted group persecution -state of military control -harsh, inhumane conditions -isolation and surveillance -fear as a tool of control

Is anyone else having a hard time living a normal day-to-day life while our nation builds literal concentration camps?

By the way, I HIGHLY recommend this entire season of The Uncertain Hour on #Welfare #WorkRequirements - it is eye-opening

When I heard that one of the measures in the #BigBeautifuBill would institute work requirements for #Medicaid, I couldn't stop thinking about it

Almost ALL of my Medicaid patients work, or are too elderly or disabled to do so. New work requirements will cause them to lose their Healthcare, not because they don't meet them, but because proving they meet them is complicated and burdinsome.

This gave Black women the option to turn down work cooking and cleaning for White families, and those families complained to their elected officials.

They literally wrote a law that said all able-bodied Black women HAD to work, "regardless of whether they want to or have to"

Chapter 3: Race and rumor How a rumor about welfare cheats transformed a small city.

Did you know that the first work requirements in the United States EXPLICITLY only applied to Black women? They were instituted during WW1 because women of all races whose husbands were deployed received war allowances.

One way most Americans will feel the OBBB law is through crowded ERs. No, not because uninsured folks will flood ERs. But because the law will close a lot of nursing homes. Which will create a backlog in the system overcrowding ERs.

I suspect she also doesn't know the definition of the word "indictment"

Today we rest. Tomorrow we resist. And every single day afterward, until our country lives up to it's best ideals.

Last week I was on Capitol Hill, pleading with members of Congress not to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and vital programs offering a lifeline to struggling families.

PLEASE contact you US Representative - the House has to vote on the Senates version of the Reconciliation Bill and YOUR VOICE MATTERS

I don’t think I’ve ever been this afraid for my patients. Some may lose their health care access. Some may lose their hospitals Some may lose their medications And at the end of it all, it won’t matter who had Medicaid and who didn’t . Everyone loses.

Gender-affirming care isn't just for trans and gender non-conforming people

Gender-affirming care is being addressed by your correct name

It's being offered the appropriate screenings

It's being sensitive about your comfort in your body and your modesty

It isn't something radical or specialized

Your display is beautifully done, and it's hard to fathom what that person thought would be inappropriate for children to see. I've seen more sexually explicit photos and headlines waiting in line at the grocery store . . .

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Highly recommend "On Tyrrany" if you haven't read it already

Did you know the Human Genome Project cost taxpayers about $3 billion over 13 years but is estimated to have generated a ROI of $1 trillion impacting the fields of medicine, agriculture, energy, and the environment? Science is not a cost. It’s an investment with countless returns.

Honestly, folks, it's the least we can do

HIV Diagnoses, Deaths, and Prevalence: 2025 Update Data on HIV diagnoses, deaths, and prevalence in the US.

Some good news - the CDC released an HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report with data for 2023.

Unfortunately, there is no data presented on HIV incidence and PrEP coverage because...of RIF.

This diminishes our situational awareness re: where we are nationally in our work to end the HIV epidemic.
