BOYCOTT

Republicans have a new slogan for Iowa. 😬🥴😵‍💫 #JoniErnstSucks

What an absolute no holds barred badass campaign announcement!!! I've donated and will be cheering you on from Tennessee! Hey #MedSky, let's all donate to help get a pediatrician in the Senate! 🩺🥼👩‍⚕️

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn’t warning the public like it was months ago www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn them. This was such a promising direction and now the neanderthals in charge of everything in this country and trying to kill us all.

U.S. spends 10x more for #stillbirth malpractice payouts than is spent globally for stillbirth prevention research. @umichsph.bsky.social @michigansocialwork.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1kkd-gm40-te

The week-long Amazon boycott starts THIS FRIDAY. (Although forever is better...) Just a reminder that we ARE having an impact. #BoycottAmazon #AmazonBoycott Link to invite your friends: www.facebook.com/events/13171...

No spending on the 28th of this month. Spread the word

Insane to cut #telehealth for Medicare. We should make it easier to get care—not harder. Impacts seniors, anyone with impaired mobility or people who are immunosuppressed. @aafp.bsky.social @aamctoday.bsky.social

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

Look closely.

Your actions matter!!

Not too late to get flu shot for you and your kids. We are seeing nonstop flu at the hospital.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

This level of censorship extraordinarily disturbing. It is a prime example of how science has never been—and never will be—a value-neutral enterprise. Human values impact what research gets funded, performed, and published. We need people with actual integrity in charge.

In Michigan - NIH FUNDING: $991 M JOBS SUPPORTED: 11,965 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SUPPORTED: $2.42B www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Tesla sales: Down 41% in Germany for 2024; a 59% drop in January 2025. France: down 63%. Sweden: down 44%. Norway: down 38%. Netherlands: down 42%

my god, they are trying to force retraction of authorship of already published past studies? Beyond ruining careers and general evil, it absolutely corrupts the scientific literature to not have correct authorship listed

New research from @kgoldmd.bsky.social et al finds that Family Med docs receive about 17 messages per patient-facing clinic hour, the highest of any primary care doc. Payment for patient care over the portal is needed so that primary care docs are still available for routine care. michmed.org/Kkbbe

Revoking price-caps on drugs that save lives is some evil shit.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

Our new research: primary care docs manage 15 portal messages/tasks for every hour of patient facing care. 17/hr for family med docs/ doi.org/10.1007/s116... #medsky #primarycare #familymedicine

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.

Trump pardoned leaders of the white supremacist, rabidly anti-Semitic terrorist group the Proud Boys. You may know them by their motto “6MWE” — which stands for “6 Million Wasn't Enough.” Yes, they’re referring to the Holocaust.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

Hard to reconcile the nation that put a man on the moon is the same nation that put a moron in the White House.

When you leave the potatoes in the bag for a month

If you were planning to come to #KCI your luggage is here and waiting! @thekansascitystar.bsky.social

The Oval Office is back on the market…

Currently in the red zone. It’s not pretty.

President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.

Did you know? People on home oxygen are dragging 25-50 feet of tubing around their house. Choosing to breathe means accepting a major fall risk. Amazed we can’t do better in this era. #medsky #primarycare

Flu is coming to a neighborhood near you. Please get your vaccination. The shot does not cause the flu. I’ve seen entire healthy families just flattened who thought they would be fine.

Raoult's paper which promoted hydroxychloroquine for Covid in 2020, which has been known to be erroneous, has now been officially retracted. Medsky www.science.org/content/arti...

I explain to pregnant parents that whooping cough will just make adults miserable but it KILLS 1/10 babies. Most will get it after that.

Agree. Phenomenal article.

Somehow this headline seems to fit in with all the other crazy things going on in our country right now.

Pete Hegseth was forced to step down from both of the nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct, @janemayer.bsky.social reports.

www.nytimes.com/2023/05/19/o... Such a powerful piece. “It matters to reach out, over and over. It matters to visit. It matters to care.” #grief #palliativecare #childloss #babyloss

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

Has anybody tried putting cool little prizes inside boxes of *healthy* food? Like I’m not saying I definitely for sure would eat quinoa five days in a row just to get a free decoder ring…but I’m not saying I definitely for sure wouldn’t either.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
