Pro tip to the gym bros! Don’t give a girl advice on a movement unless they specifically ask you for it…especially when your advice is hella wrong & you’re speaking with a physical therapist

🔥 Meirav Solomon KILLS IT, placing responsibility for antisemitism exactly where it belongs:
"it is not student protesters, but the bloody legacy of Pittsburgh and Poway, Charlottesville and the Capitol riots... Trump has highlighted and platformed neo-Nazis and white supremacists."

So @thebenkaplan.bsky.social & I while out tonight, were talking about how different the world would be if Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Prince, & David Bowie were still alive. On our drive home, we heard every. single. one. on the radio serendipitously. I think their spirits knew 💕✨

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

This is asinine
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

Can’t help but think about my patients who live in the surrounding areas of the hospital I work at. We’ve closed our OP department. Stay safe, friends. Be kind & helpful to your neighbors in this time.

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling.
You don't.
Research: Motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around.
In Practice: You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.
