Hello Bluesky. I’m happy to be here. I’m a blue dot in a red state, queer woman, and mom to an awesome kiddo. As a physician, I believe in science, human rights, and free exchange of actual ideas. I have zero tolerance for hate or bullies. Happy to be here after leaving the cesspool of Twitter.
This is devastating. We are turning our backs on Ukraine and trying to force Zelensky to submit to a predatory peace deal. I’m ashamed of the current state of our country.
US appears set on crushing Ukraine capacity to force Zelensky to submit. Never mind that this is a bonfire of leverage versus Russia, which has every reason to believe it can dictate terms or reject a ceasefire in the knowledge that Trump is likely to blame Ukraine. Criminally bad negotiating.
Bad, bad news. Unnecessary, punitive, vindictive. "The US has cut off intelligence-sharing with Kyiv in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military’s ability to target Russian forces, according to officials familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/c58f...

Today the United States of America ambushed the leader of the free world. I am ashamed. We are no longer the good guys.
“You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now,” Trump said while wagging a finger at Zelensky.
Trump was dead wrong. Zelenskyy holds all the cards: honor, honesty, discipline, integrity. It’s just that Trump doesn’t recognize that suit.

Ukraine's leader left the White House shortly after President Donald Trump shouted at him, showing open disdain.

Amazon is a hell of a drug. But, they will no longer be receiving my patronage. And, I let them know it was their capitulation and DEI pivot that led to my cancellation. Our power is in our voice and our spending.

In WWII most of the concentration camps were outside of German borders. This was to avoid oversight and hide the atrocities being committed. And, it gave Germany plausible deniability. Is this the immigration reform you voted for?
The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

Civil resistance leads to profound social, political, economic, and cultural impact!?
Civil resistance is the application of unarmed civilian power using nonviolent
methods such as protests, strikes, boycotts, demonstrations, without using or threatening physical harm against the opponent.

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

An n of 12 vs an n of 1.9 million. It apparent the question has been answered. These are some of the most widely studied drugs in medical history. How in the name of science is this still being questioned? VACCINES DON’T CAUSE AUTISM!!! #vaccines #vaccinessavelives
Trump says RFK Jr will “investigate” the link between vaccines and autism as “somebody needs to find out.”
We’ve ALREADY FOUND OUT

- >90,000 in the US

NO LINK.
How many more of these does he want us to do?
