The national committee that helped make recommendations of which genetic disorders we screen for at birth has been eliminated. If you delivered or plan to deliver in a hospital this affects you. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Our government is censoring science. We cannot be silent. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

This is anti-science propaganda. Science does not have partisan, it is factual.

This is huge, and deeply saddening and disheartening. We use the US SPR MEC criteria daily in our office. As we start to rely on others such as midlevel providers and other specialties to help bridge the gaps because we are short Obgyns we need as accurate of science as we can.

BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACCINE. AND, UNTIL RECENTLY, ALMOST EVERYONE TOOK IT. Remarkably, nowhere in the article does the word "vaccine" appear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/w...

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

Peter Marks’s resignation letter. Everyone should read this.

This will kill people, maybe worse than suggesting Vitamin A over measles vaccine. We have discredited David Grier over and over in the medical community. Kennedy Turns to a Discredited Vaccine Skeptic for Autism Study www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

Welcome to the dark side of not using evidence based research for guidelines, Spokane is also without fluoride. Dentists will be busy.

@keithself.bsky.social there’s a really great curriculum thesafezoneproject.com/activities/t... that can help re-educate you on science.

Thank you to Congresswoman McBride @mcbride.house.gov for your bravery, passion and voice yo was privileged to be sitting listening to your words today amongst my @acog-org.bsky.social peers. - from a🏳️‍⚧️ ally

Let’s talk about rural OBGYN care deserts 🧵⬇️

We went to the Hill today to represent @acogaction.bsky.social @acog-org.bsky.social and ask to our representatives, Congressman Baumgartner, to oppose Medicaid cuts, thank for cosponsoring our short term reimbursement bandage to Medicare, and help our rural areas get OB education!

In regards to healthcare crisis: “For the first time in history our daughters are less free than their mothers at their age.” - Honorable Maggie Hassan

OBGYNs from ACOG will be on the hill tomorrow for our patients and communities. Asking to give funding for training for rural OB care, opposing the Medicaid cuts threatened, and to reverse Medicare cuts. The time to use your voice is now.

Might save a life.

Apparently people in government can't say "mental health" anymore. Or political, identity, historically, disability, immigrants, orientation, or of course, Black, female, females, feminism, women, Native American, and so much more. Land of the free, they say www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Well this is useless, we have already had studies showing this does not have a link and definitely no evidence of a cause. Maybe promote vaccines for diseases that should have been eradicated would be better and save a life.

1. A new CMS directive from HHS has gone out to hospitals demanding they stop gender affirming care, despite a court order saying care can continue. The memo openly cites anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups. The latest from writer Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Off to DC for patient and ACOG healthcare advocacy! Facism, the patriarchy and hate cannot win. We never know if we can make a difference, and individually we may not, as a large mass we do and you have to take a seat at the table, the time is not to be silent or passive. @acog-org.bsky.social

Our paper is out, and it is distressing. Rapid butterfly declines across the United States during the 21st century | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This censorship of science is SHAMEFUL. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

RIP Walgreens

Never thought I’d do this but I had coffee delivered to the hospital. Because they don’t have food services on the weekend aka no coffee. - Auburn

New shirt, ready for D.C. in a week, to go fight and advocate for healthcare, human rights, medicine with my fellow OBGYNs with @acog-org.bsky.social #healthcareisahumanright #healthcareforall #mybodymychoice

My medical specialty society has decided to no longer post over there and is here #bluesky🦋 let’s all follow @acog-org.bsky.social who is supporting evidence based medicine for physicians providing obstetrical and gynecological care to patients #obskyn #obgynsky #reprosky

Things pediatricians are scared of: Grapes Hot dogs Lawn mowers Unmounted TVs Babies on laps in cars Riders without helmets Ungated pools Crib bumpers Trampolines Hot tubs Guns Things pediatricians are not scared of: Any/all the vaccines

The US healthcare system is no longer safe. Without a strong CDC we can’t control new pathogen outbreaks in our hospitals or benchmark infection rates to prevent surgical infections or pneumonias There is no “private” solution that can make it safe Every hospital CEO should be speaking up

This will be increasingly important to know. Measles is already spreading from Texas to New Mexico. It is airborne and extremely contagious.

Day 2 of vaccine preventable disease education. Don’t forget that we don’t need these to come back… #vaccineswork #MedSky #PedSky

Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including: • Pride Month • Black History Month • Holocaust Remembrance Day • Jewish Heritage • Hispanic Heritage • Indigenous People Month

Seriously this happened - Google? Seriously?

Kendrick halftime show was amazing.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
