Just fuck already….

Thank you Banner Health for shining a spotlight on the importance of evidence-based medicine in gender affirming care. Banner continues to lead from the front by remaining dedicated to equitable healthcare for ALL.

It is embarrassing the lengths Democrats go to separate “MAGA” or “Extreme MAGA” from “Normal” Republicans. Stop bending over backwards to add qualifiers. Call them what they are. REPUBLICANS.

Alexa will be getting a lot more use at Phoenix Children's now that they have decided to forgo practicing evidence based medicine and instead capitulate in the erasure of a minority group.

@katiehobbs.bsky.social this will actively kill children in our state. Gender affirming care decreases depression in adolescents by >60% and suicidality >70%. At what point is it time to fight back? www.12news.com/article/news...

“Say Gaetz, I hear you like ‘em young…..”

Rahm’s “final stand” hill? Probably SALT Tax….

@ucsfmedicine.bsky.social come get your boy. Dude’s Hegseth level drunk right now.

Awesome project! Thanks @majorityreport.bsky.social, @samseder.bsky.social, and @emmavigeland.bsky.social for sharing! Looking forward to getting my copy! If you can, pitch in and let’s help get this done. www.kickstarter.com/projects/f-c...

As a practitioner of evidence-based medicine, I have a duty to point out that the evidence is clear. More gender affirming care, in all forms, equals less dead children. The cost of these heinous acts on transgender children will be human life.

My wife and I bought our house with the understanding we would be paying a lower monthly amount based on our income, and that my loans would eventually be forgiven via PSLF. If these programs are eliminated, I honestly don’t know how we can afford to keep our home. www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

We all know the atrocities the new administration will oversee during the next 4 years. But what about what has happened the last year, and what is happening now? This is placed squarely at the feet of Dem leadership. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov y’all need to fucking wear this.

Doing research at an academic medical center, we participate in a wide variety of NIH funded trials. I fear the next 4 years will set medical research back decades. The medical community has a responsibility to stand up and be vocal about this.

Love it. We have a party trying to erase both history as well as whole groups of minorities in our society. Let’s stop pearl clutching at WORDS used on tv.

According to multiple news outlets, Trump has rescinded protections that prevented ICE from entering places such as schools/hospitals. Currently, HIPAA laws apply to immigrants, just as they do to everyone else. We have a responsibility to protect patients, regardless of their immigration status.

A dark day for public for public health. The cost paid will be more than financial, it will be human life. Today, I grieve.

This. Distracts with a shiny object, creates a veneer that institutions remain legitimate, and appeases the 9 high priests that want to keep their grip on power.

Happening in North Carolina right now: A Republican who just lost a state supreme court election is using a horseshit legal theory cooked up by Republican activists to ask the Republican majority *on the same court he wants to join* to overturn his loss and make him a justice anyway

Repeat after me: “Human beings are not cars.” Preventative care should not only be available to “those that can afford it.” Being poor is an inherent risk factor to disease. This is such a dystopian mindset.

Profit over patients. Capital and healthcare have diametrically opposed goals. Until we uncouple them, our outcomes will continue to plummet.

Quiet part out loud much?

Enough. Ben Wikler or bust. No more fucking around. No more gerontocracy. Only taking back power.
