I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

A survey by the Commonwealth Fund reveals that 40% of U.S. physicians acknowledge racial discrimination in healthcare, with half reporting that patients have shared similar experiences, highlighting significant racial inequities and the need for systemic reforms. www.techtarget.com/patientengag...

The government asked people to make sacrifices to help each other in an extraordinary circumstance and it completely broke some people

As a science advocate, something I hear a lot is that people think government would be better if there were more scientists and physicians elected to Congress. Senator Bill Cassidy's cowardice in voting for RFK Jr, show us that expertise is useless if you have no morals.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

This is beyond ableist and a disqualifying statement (amongst many). Healthcare is a human right.

I am enraged by the media, doctors, and politicians who are sane washing RFK Jr and claiming some common ground. Common ground only exists when there are genuinely good intentions, but anti science grifters are not presenting good faith arguments. There is no common ground, only a slippery slope.

Four years ago today, at the end of my maternity leave, I got my first Covid vaccine. I will never forget this incredibly humbling moment in time. #medsky

12 years since Sandy Hook, and this remains a “fact of life.” Truly disgusting.

Today, we hold the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting and their families in our hearts. It's been 12 years. The scourge of gun violence is still horrific. The Democratic Party must remain steadfast to our commitment to commonsense gun violence prevention—and protecting kids.

When I was a Hospitalist, I got super into meal prep, but this is my first time making breakfast burritos to freeze. I used my beloved @ranchogordo.bsky.social beans of course. They taste way better than they look, but I need a rec for the best whole grain tortilla. Suggestions welcome!
