When elected officials start undermining the courts, democracy is in danger. In dictatorships, the law only applies when it benefits those in power. The VP’s tweet is chilling… if the executive ignores the courts, what keeps us from slipping into authoritarian rule? #Law #Dictatorship #Resist

Cutting NIH funding for life saving research is a betrayal of hope, progress, and every patient fighting for a cure or a better life. Medical breakthroughs save lives! Investing in science isn’t a choice, it’s a duty that benefits us all. Scientists & docs need to stand up! #medsky #science #NIH

Lately it feels like we’re living in a movie… every moment more inhumane & apocalyptic than the last Exhibit A: new Wyoming anti-abortion bill may ban chemo #medsky #abortionrights #womenshealth #reproductiverights

A minute of wellness: Today let’s try 4-7-8 breathing. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8, repeat. Feel your mind & body relax. This activates your parasympathetic nervous system, inviting deep calm. Like a butterfly resting on a flower. #wellness #mindfulness #stressrelief #nature

Great Hamilton reference, so fitting for our current reality. This is truly horrifying, science is being silenced and as humans we are unwillingly being dragged back to pre-penicillin times, it feels like. #medsky #mmwr #science #cdc

A minute of wellness: Take a moment of peace amidst the political chaos. Let my lovely English rose be a reminder to pause & take care of yourself/your mental health. Take 10 deep breaths & name 3 things you’re grateful for today. #wellness #englishroses #nature #mindfulness

Dear Reps & Senators: with all due respect, we the people are frankly tired of order & decorum. We need action & we need it NOW. Being cordial is no longer working, we are in a constitutional crisis. Stop confirming appointees. Impeach. Feel free to share if you feel the same! #Impeach #Resist

Surprised? Can’t say I am. It’s a sad day in health care today. #PhysiciansAgainstFascism (Not sure if this tag is a thing on here) Fellow docs, we must find the courage to rise up and do what we can to protect knowledge, science, and human kind. #MedSky #ScienceSky #Resist #StrongerTogether

In the dead of night, an executive order slashing Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, funding for research, and other federally funded programs, was announced. This quote came to mind. #Medicaid #SNAP #Grants #WIC #Equality #EndFascism #StrongerTogether

Today, the current administration has prohibited the CDC from communicating with the WHO. Due to growing concern over avian flu and human transmission, here are current updates as of 1/23/25 courtesy of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). #BirdFlu #AvianFlu #Science 🧵

She changed me, too. I found the courage to make this account and speak up against injustice and misinformation. I choose to be the light for my patients, for my family, and for my fellow Americans. “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” #KamalaHarris #Equality #StrongerTogether
