#NoKings in #NYC with what looks like record turn out.

Looks like the Physician Women for Democratic Principles group is active on BlueSky.. It’s awesome to see professionals organizing around shared values.especially when it comes to important issues like gun control and democratic principles. Are you involved with any similar groups or movements?

CDC = Centers for Disease Conspiracies

Please write your electeds to ask the Democrats to hold fast on the continuing resolution. No collaboration with the Republicans without protection of public health and protecting programs from further destruction. actionnetwork.org/letters/urge...

Important! Health insurance plans care about evidence based medicine, unlike the CDC now, because preventing illness is cost effective. Unusual for the health insurance industry to come out and say they will COVER something. AHIP health insurance companies cover over 200 million Americans.

I know what I am doing on my lunch break today! Thank you @luckytran.com for the reminder. Take action today!!

The best defense against measles is vaccination. If you may have been exposed or have been exposed: stay home!! Well-fitted respirator masks such as N95 masks can help reduce transmission but it’s not 100% effective.

Gun violence is not only a preventable public health issue that has unfortunately become too politicized, it is a public health emergency. #GunViolenceIsAPublicHealthIssue

The first fatal shooting of an immigrant by ICE. Please be cautious because there have been repeated false claims that the immigrants and protestors were the aggressors, when they were not to justify ICE tactics. Also, the FBI is now a circus since they put a clown in charge.

Thank you American College of Physicians for standing up for public health. #FireRFKJr

Fascism isn’t coming to America. It is here and everyday it gets worse.

The Virginia Department of Health has issued a standing order so that people can get the COVID vaccine without a prescription. You can print out the order here: www.vdh.virginia.gov/content/uplo...

Another major physician group that represents family practice physicians recommends COVID boosters for all adults. Thank you @aafp.org for following the science and not the conspiracy theorists at the helm of the CDC. #COVIDVaccine

Right wing provocateur and founder of the conservative campus group Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk was reportedly shot today while discussing gun violence. This will become politicized so remember the data is clear more guns = more violent crime. This country is exhausting.

Thank you @governor.ny.gov All elected leaders on similar positions should do the same

The fascist regime ordered a last minute noisy jet flyover to drown out he voices of the Epstein/Maxwell survivors during their press conference. They were unsuccessful. Besides being incredibly childish and insensitive to victims of child sex crimes, seems like the behavior of a guilty person.

In a race to the bottom, Florida is always a contender. This is the stupidest timeline.

Epstein/Maxwell survivor Haley Robson, “Please just humanize us”.

“Humanize us” Epstein/Maxwell survivor, Haley Robson, at today’s press conference.

Everyday in America is now an Onion headline come to life.

Center survivors. It is beyond shameful that thanks to Republicans the only abuser who has seen any accountability, Ghislaine Maxwell, has manipulated Trump to get a a sweetheart prison camp deal.

Wow!!! Jerry Nadler is retiring!!!

They should just remove the “C” from CDC and call it what it is now, The Disease Center.

Jim O’Neill the acting CDC head is not a M.D. or a scientist. He is a bio tech investor who believes the problem with our healthcare system is that it isn’t free market enough. He has stated in the past that the FDA shouldn’t assess the efficacy of new drugs.

Not that you even have to be an immunologist to know RFK. Jr is absolute bullshit when it comes to medical knowledge.

These are people who have dedicated their lives to public health and public service and this is a warning to all of us that we have entered a new era in public health. Science is no longer what drives the mission at the CDC.

CDC Director, Susan Monarez, just ousted after being confirmed less than a month ago. She was actually qualified and not a conspiracy theorist so she is gone. Article: wapo.st/4n7Dkfm

Susan Monarez, the CDC Director who was sworn in a mere month ago, has been ousted. RFK Jr. is really out there “building trust”.

In 6 months FOTUS has accomplished what it took Putin and others authoritarians years and even decades to put in place. This doesn’t say as much about FOTUS and his team as it does about how complacent and stupid Americans are.

55 million visa holders are now at risk of deportation.

Why is the Department of Homeland Security not allowing independent medical evaluations of the immigrants in detention at the NYC location and in other detention centers?

Thank you @ameracadpeds.bsky.social for stepping up and leading to ensure pediatric surgery patients receive preventive care based on science not conspiracies. In a historic and sad first, the American Academy of Pediatrics has their own vaccine schedule and not recommending CDC schedule.

NYC doctors, nurses, allied health workers, medical social workers, medical students and all other healthcare workers, please join us tomorrow to stand up for immigrants. Even if for a few minutes, it would be great to have a big showing of our healthcare workers in white coats and scrubs.

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

CALLING ALL HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN OR NEAR NYC! Join us at this press conference to highlight the medical neglect and inhumane conditions at the temporary detention center at 26 Federal Plaza. Please wear your white coats or scrubs. We will have something to cover logos.

Today at immigration court in NYC, multiple immigrants legally seeking documentation were kidnapped. In the photos here by photographer Stephanie Keith a man takes off his wedding ring to give to his partner before he is detained by a federal agent. She ends up leaving without him. #AbolishIce

Are we great yet?

We have to fight fire with fire.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology standing up for all of us. Thank you @acog.org !

They don’t even try to pretend anymore that we are nothing more to them than vessels to carry “their” babies. This post is from two days ago. She died in April of 2024 and they know she died from her cancer and to post this is now is just beyond disgusting and reveals what they think of women. .

ICE has kidnapped a Korean immigrant with an open immigration case who is the daughter of an Episcopalian minister at immigration court in NYC. The Episcopal Diocese of New York, the Interfaith Center of New York, and 1/2

Maxwell, the only one held accountable transferred to a prison camp this morning. “Federal prison camps are "minimum security institutions" that "have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented."

They are offering student loan forgiveness if you join ICE but not for teachers or social workers. They will start recruiting on college campuses. This tells you everything about their priorities and who the Republican Party is.

Durham: 283k people per the 2020 Census. 102k identify as Black or African American, 113k as White. It's crucial for health systems to serve their surroundings. Like many other places we do not represent the diverse community we serve. Curious to see how this "racial discrimination" is justified...
