On February 24, 2022, #Russia invaded #Ukraine. Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories have been destroyed, infectious diseases have spread, food supply chains disrupted, access to safe water diminished, and people are dying. #Trump says he has the power to stop the war, but why hasn’t he?

The US has started out strong this year, with over three times more measles cases than at the same time last year. This puts us on track to have one of the worst years since 2019 when the US experienced over 1,000 cases. #infectiousdisease #outbreak #measlesoutbreak #publichealthprofessional

I feel compelled to speak out against how the White House is handling the situation in Ukraine, especially given its far-reaching implications for public health and global stability. #ukraine #humanrights #onehealth

Studies like this and many others have been removed from the Patient Safety Network (PSNet). The site is a comprehensive resource dedicated to improving patient safety and healthcare quality but has become highly #censored by the Trump administration.

Polls consistently show a majority of Americans support reproductive freedom. Pew’s 2024 data reports that 63% of Americans support abortion access in all or most cases. Why, then, is our government chipping away at this fundamental right?

Recently, America has seen significant shifts in its political and public health landscape, eliciting joy for some and considerable stress for others. Amid these changes, perhaps we can all unify around one point: dogs are exceptional pets.
