Whether people want to admit it or not, the US is basically running as two different countries that are at war. MAGA is fighting; if we don't, we'll simply lose.

RFK Jr is saying that "autism is destroying our kids." Autism didn't destroy me, but ableism almost did, and eugenics/the mainstreaming of disinformation certainly threaten to.

Just released memorandum from OPM:

Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people.

It will go into effect on the 31st.

It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency.

This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

Her mother loved these flowers & would post them on Instagram. Our volunteer artist recreated these flowers as a painting, around her now deceased mother's fingerprints. Her daughter's response: "Made me cry instantly. I am forever grateful." @3wishesprogram.bsky.social #smallactsofkindness

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

It’s started: ICE raided a Chicago-area hospital emergency department today and showed up at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan last week. Share this with any health workers you know. We must know how to respond when ICE comes for our patients and coworkers.

“Repealing the $35 monthly insulin cap—a lifeline for millions of diabetics now forced back into the predatory free market of Big Pharma, where a single vial can cost upwards of $300.
This isn’t policymaking. It’s sabotage.”

Hey #Medsky, check in on your LA friends.

In clinic this morning and there isn’t a single person here who hasn’t been affected by these fires, either by having friends or family who’ve lost homes or by losing a home themselves.

And we’re back at work like nothing’s happened. We are not ok.

I would really love to know how on earth an insurance company thinks that a patient in myasthenic crisis who immediately had to go to the ICU and get PLEX for over a week because they couldn’t breathe is an appropriate “observation” admission. What are we doing here?
