Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

President Trump issued an Executive Order restricting access to "intimate spaces" by "biological sex," and declaring that there are only two sexes. He really didn't think this one through. 😂 Visit www.thepissport.com

We need to keep our focus in multiple places at once. We need to protest the horrific atrocities unfolding, AND we need to remember that they want our attention away from (as someone in my mentions aptly put it) the thieves in the treasury. We can hold both. 1/x

As someone who teaches health policy to nursing students, I like to create mock-ups of hypothetical advocacy tools to demonstrate how nurses can use their expertise to affect change in ways that transcend partisan politics and protect ALL the patients and families they serve.

Politicians who talk obsessively about children’s genitals in their policies, public statements, and social media posts are the LAST people we should be trusting with our children.

I keep waiting for all my Republican friends who said they voted for Trump but would never support the erosion of LGBTQ+ rights or civil rights to speak up. Crickets. Huh. I guess y’all are OK with racism, homophobia, and transphobia after all.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

President Trump moved quickly on Monday to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, a move that public health experts say will undermine the nation’s standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic. nyti.ms/4hilymo

The existence of transgender and non-binary people doesn’t weaken our nation. You know what does? Politicians who obsess about the existence of transgender and non-binary people. And about genitals. And about grabbing them.

Yesterday was Day 1 of the spring semester. My undergrad health policy class is filled with students from across the political spectrum and I couldn’t be more excited about teaching them HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Viewpoint diversity matters! 💙🧡 #Wahoowa
