A little #PetPhotography for #BlueSkyArtShow. Home is my favorite place to #relax with these two besties. Where do you like to relax?

Although a non-native species in #Kauai, Red-crested cardinals are still stunners

This was taken in 2019 and it snowed in July which this California native is not used to nor was I prepared! Newfoundland was absolutely one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Congrats on your move there.

One of the coldest #summer trips we have ever taken. We spent a month driving around #Newfoundland and met this cheeky #moose at #TuckamoreLodge

There are many reasons why RFK Jr. should be impeached. We don't need to further stigmatize people with opioid use disorder by pointing to his history of heroin use. He is a danger to children, disabled, elderly and poor because of his ableist, anti-science, racist and eugenicist beliefs.

Can we agree to call the fallout of OBBA, "Maga Cuts" i.e. you no longer have medical coverage because of Maga Cuts. Your rural hospital closed because of Maga Cuts. Just like they did with "ObamaCare," we need to continually remind people of the repercussions of this reconciliation bill.

With his headed tilted #sideways, we caught a glimpse of this Anna's Hummingbird's iridescent pink feathers in the rain.

We won't be silent Over the week, I said goodbye to dear colleagues at the National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC) as a result of the changes happening within our federal government. This year we were up for our 5...

Today, I’m sharing some personal reflections on the dismantling of public health programs, the heartbreak of losing colleagues and services, and why we cannot stay silent in the face of this crisis.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

β€˜Death by a thousand cuts’

Federal HIV funding cuts are endangering lives. NCCC's CCO, Dr. Carolyn Chu explains how these cuts are already harming care:
www.positivelyaware.com/articles/dea.... Tell Congress to vote NO on a budget package that slashes HIV funding, cuts Medicaid, and restricts essential care. #SaveHIVFunding
