ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

All of my patients have a place in my ❤️, but the young women, many of them young mothers in their 20s and 30s, who died of cervical cancer, now preventable with the HPV vaccine, are etched in my soul. Cervical cancer commonly causes awful pain & bleeding before leading to death. We were […]

Remember that the NAACP is calling for a massive boycott of Walmart, McDonald's and Meta because of their about face on DEI under pressure from the vague notions of the US president and his friends. I would appreciate it you participated in this boycott too. It seems like it's pretty big […]

Robert Reich - When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh? […]

The Federal Government might be trying to do away with DEI (or DEIA), but employees at the company I work for are doubling down. We've got groups that support Black professionals, LBGTQI+, disabilities, veterans, and more. We're celebrating Black History Month now, we'll celebrate Juneteenth […]

Just wait until Trump uses the same mechanism he is using to attempt a national trans ban to do the same with a national abortion ban, mifepristone ban, etc.

Again, just stop w/the focus on Trump’s BS DEI claim. Fact of the matter is people died while he was busy social engineering and he refuses to take any responsibility. Stop lowering standards bc he’s a rich white man.

A given. Via Rupar: all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

US #public_health folks. Don't accept defeat. The CDC, HHS, etc. are under a gag order, but you all still have power to monitor and inform the public about emerging threats like #H5N1. Start organizing university, state, and local government networks.

The TikTok ban was signed into law. Legally, it will take a new law to unban TikTok. What you saw (experienced) today was both propaganda and an illegal circumvention of the law. A democratically elected government is only as good as the rule of law and order. The question that many of you […]

It's a friggin' full time job keeping up with my medical stuff. I've now spent about four hours talking with different folks in nephrology and oncology. When I had CKD, I also had severe anemia, so I got to give myself erythropoietin (EPO) injections. (It tells the bone marrow to produce red […]

I went back to work yesterday and also worked today. I'm not sure "work" is the correct word, given that I spent most of my time playing catch-up on emails, posts, articles, and meeting with my manager about what I'll be doing this year. I also updated the calendar for the team (showing when […]
