A little stigma is a good thing sometimes. Abuse of women & girls is one of those things that should be stigmatized & condemned loudly. No middle ground. No 2nd chances. #medsky #epstein #trump www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Did yesterday's rebuke of Trump (regarding terrible racist post) from power-holders reflect that this post was particularly horrifying or was it indication of a major tide shift - or both? The rebukes were good news but now we need congressional action. Our resistance persistence matters so much.

Karoline Leavitt wants us to ignore DJT’s ugly racism & “focus on issues that matter.” Ok. Let’s focus on sex trafficking girls & women. #medsky #epstein #attia #cbs Doctors need to speak up. Hold the predators accountable. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

"While the deck seems stacked against us in this polarized, senselessly violent world, difficult healthcare conversations with people who may be unsure about us are still worth having." Read the #OpEd by @chloenazra.bsky.social: www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Today’s GOP was never about protecting women & girls, hiding their hatefulness behind universal values of love & family. The Christian right is less comfortable with women’s autonomy & the LGBTQ community than it is with child rape. Think about that #epstein #trump msmagazine.com/2025/08/09/w...

Two things can be true at once: you can be a victim of grooming AND you can have no morals apple.news/A-3ZCxQPDTie...

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

What did I f**ing say about enablers of abuse? Don’t focus on Epstein & Trump alone. Focus on Harvard, Chomsky, Elon, Peter Attia & the crowd of powerful men — not hysterical women, POC, or drag queens — who supported & enabled Epstein. Shame them all. #medsky www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Not paranoid at all. Totally believable. #epstein #departmentofinjustice #trump #bondi

University leaders also said six courses were canceled, and 48 exceptions were granted under new rules on race and gender.

In the chaos of hopelessness, I almost forgot I wrote this. There’s a forgotten middle, a small segment of moderation, that still wants to talk to us. We should extend a hand to them 🩵 #medsky @medpagetoday.com www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Cannot overstate how true this is. I’m truly tired of deferring to the bullying of the Ivy League. It is a hotbed of misconduct hiding behind performative principles. And stop asking me for money, guys. You took enough from me. Thank u, next #epstein #trump #abuse

Yeah hey JD remember that? What ever happened with that?

A tribute to our Dear Leader, DJT, & to the network of enablers who tacitly support abuse while hiding behind a Bible & “law and order.” #womenwriters #epsteinfiles #medsky #writers medium.com/fourth-wave/...

Was watching The Hunger Games series, but the themes of a militarized federal police force commanded by a grandiose despot desperately clinging to power from a gaudy, ostentatious palace hit too close to home. #booksky #minnesota

"The movement hell-bent on extolling the virtues of tradwife life has now set its sights on 'organized gangs of wine moms us[ing] Antifa tactics to harass and impede' ICE, according to the talking heads at Fox News."

A thoughtful common sense response to the absurdity of the times #ICE #alexpretti #minnesota Read “A Wake-Up Call for Every American“ by Barack Obama on Medium: barackobama.medium.com/a-wake-up-ca...

How long will it be, I wonder, before these become seditious materials? 📚🧐🕰️🖤 #booksky #ICE #minnesota #alexpretti #reneegood

And even before the incontrovertible video evidence appears, maybe consider that the current administration has a documented history of lying, and remind your audience of that track record as context for the "conflicting accounts."

37-year-old Alex Pretti was a U.S. citizen, legal gun owner, and ICU nurse at the VA. Institutionalized armed intimidation makes everyone less safe. And when cities are occupied by a federal agency used as a paramilitary force without consent of local leaders, escalating violence is more likely.

Feels a little like the state of America in 2026 #minnesota #saturdaythoughts #democracy

In an #OpEd, @darakass.com, @spsaki.bsky.social, and Liz Tobin-Tyler, JD, MA, all of @brownpublichealth.bsky.social, explain what the research actually shows about reproductive coercion. Read now: www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Some pleasant thoughts from my favorite coffee place at the hospital #coffee #mentalhealth #friday

Mr Rogers shared a foot bath with a black character on his show in 1969, a statement about racial integration. It was in fact controversial. www.misterrogers.org/videos/shari...

A first-of-its-kind bill in Wisconsin would protect women from miscarriage criminalization. Meanwhile, Gov. Tony Evers pledges to veto Republicans’ sweeping fetal personhood law that treats women like incubators, not people.

I think it started long before Vance went to Munich to encourage Germany not to exclude the far right, but here’s a reminder that today’s conservatives have welcomed this with open arms. #ICE #fascism #vance #trump msmagazine.com/2025/03/07/t...

Great piece exploring power dynamics, coercive control, and narcissistic tendencies

Have been waiting for someone to address this. Thank you 💜

It was never about protecting women. This article is perfection, speaking to the lie behind anti-abortion advocates’ attempts to ban abortion by any means necessary. @medpagetoday.com #medsky #abortion #hhs www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

And they say women are too emotional to lead 🙄

A gem from Jordan Peterson. Hey there, misogynist clown & pseudo-intellectual coward, No it doesn’t. Fascis means “bundle” in Latin & the fasces was a political symbol: a bundle of rods often with an axe in the middle that represented the Roman king’s authority to punish his subjects. #fascism #MN

Evergreen: “The men who were less-skilled at the game and performing worse relative peers—made frequent, nasty comments to female gamers. In other words, sexist dudes are literally losers.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-int...

A sprinkle of bioethics to ponder as the country reckons with the violent start to 2026. #medsky msmagazine.com/2026/01/09/r...

I first learned of DARVO after leaving domestic abuse. I thought I recognized it in the aftermath of Renee Good’s shooting. Feeling much calmer now that the person who first identified DARVO saw the same thing that I & other victims saw. #reneegood #abuse #medsky

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend. She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care. This is her story.

I’d marry a Mark Kelly over a Pete Hegseth any day, no question.

A woman wanting to keep herself safe is not a criminal. Culpability lies solely with those who attack the vulnerable, as though assaulting another’s body and character were a God-given right. Trust your eyes. Hold the truth. 🖤 #reneegood #ICE #minneapolis msmagazine.com/2026/01/09/r...

Manufacture crisis. Market solution. Rinse and repeat. #medsky

Really thoughtful article on the death of Renee Good & the moral bankruptcy of the aftermath. “That’s how much parts of MAGA devalue human life. That’s how much they despise their political opponents. We should certainly respect law enforcement officers, but we are not their subjects.“ Chills. 🖤

If law enforcement is so concerned about rapists & pedophiles, they might consider investigating some of the people working in the White House presently. #epsteinfiles #ice #gunviolence

I wrote this article for @msmagazine.com about the state-sanctioned resurgence of violent masculinity Today, the administration is actively trying to gaslight us, sanitizing the violence of January 6 by rewriting history. Never forget what happened. #jan6 msmagazine.com/2025/02/04/m...

Blood on their hands.
