Cheeto Mussolini has taken away all our real defenses against public health crises. #MedSky

We already have had some progressive physicians run for state & federal office in recent years, and we supported their races in conjunction with @pwdp.bsky.social. #MedSky #AcademicSky think about it!

That’s saying there is one…

Just for fun…

I refuse to be dejected and despondent. We are so much better than those in charge. I have relentless faith in the power of the people. And we at the Committee to Protect Health Care are 40,000 strong; doctors who will not give up on our patients’ need for accessible and affordable healthcare.

Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

We made a nationwide Facebook event for the March 4th #50501 protests. Please invite your friends if you have FB still, so people get more notifications about the event itself. #MedSky #AcademicSky @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org www.facebook.com/events/61254...

What an inspiring thread.

Critical CDC layoffs directed by the Trump administration strike deeply at its ability to respond to current flu, norovirus and measles outbreaks. www.upi.com/Voices/2025/...

Some adults should consider getting revaccinated. That includes older adults who were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1968. The CDC recommends that anyone vaccinated before 1968 get at least one dose of the live attenuated vaccine. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Dear God. The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, told Trump: "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir." This country is sick at its core.

This isn’t a joke—Trump and MAGA are openly pushing for his dictatorship. At CPAC, where Trump is set to speak, MAGA activists launched the “Third Term Project,” comparing him to Julius Caesar and calling to keep him in power beyond 2028. www.news.com.au/world/north-...

The book by Professor @timothysnyder.bsky.social outlines how we can fight tyranny, published in 2017 during the first Trump administration. Read the list here with short explanations, or just read the short book itself: scholars.org/contribution...

This is someone who was not probationary. We all need to stand up and fight back because that is the best way to support these federal workers and the ones who are now former federal workers.

Please RSVP for and invite friends to the week-long Amazon boycott coming up (if you still have facebook): www.facebook.com/events/13171... As physicians, we have a LOT of buying power. And the more people we get on board, the more impact we have. #CancelAmazon #BoycottAmazon #MedSky #AcademicSky

Thank you James Taylor! We stand with Ukraine.

Honored to be on PBS NewsHour tonight to talk bird flu, especially the negative implications of cutting the federal workforce. They are Americans’ eyes and ears for biosecurity and health. Watch here: www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

We can do this, together.

Thanks to a loud public outcry and a relentless media campaign from outdoors influencers the Trump administration is reversing its plan to eliminate thousands of national parks jobs. Amazing work everyone. Keep speaking up, it matters!

PORTLAND: let's go fuck up Elon Musk's money this weekend! Meet me at the Tesla store on 4330 S Macadam Ave at 11 am on Saturday. We have to let our neighbors know that spending even a single dollar with Tesla is unacceptable. No cars, no service, no charging, period. We're done. #TeslaTakedown

Making America Healthier? The administration didn’t allow CDC to open the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) agenda for public comments and has postponed the vaccine policy meeting scheduled for next week.
