Beyond honored to have an essay included in this stunning collection alongside so many writers I admire. Intro by the legendary Rita Charon ♥️ #MedSky

Any folks from #IDSky headed to Maui for @mayoclinic.org Infectious Diseases Practice Updates 2026?

It would be a real shame to just play Bruce Springsteen‘s new song “Streets of Minneapolis“ on repeat all day long to ensure that it becomes the number one song in the country… 😉 m.youtube.com/watch?v=GDaP... #ICEOutNow #MinnesotaStrong

“He tells the agents not 2 search her car because they don't have a warrant & it would be an illegal search. The agents appear dismissive of his constitutional concerns.” Our government - “I'm not getting into the legality of everything" #ICEOutNow #MinnesotaStrong www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

RIP Catherine O’Hara 😭 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/a... #Moira #SchittsCreek

My friends and colleagues in Minnesota are amazing physicians! #MedSky #WeDoCare

Proud to join ~500 other MN docs in signing on to this @nejm.org piece. Proud of my colleagues. Proud of Ben Trappey for signing his name to it and taking the inevitable heat from some quarters. Stand up and be counted 💪🏼💪🏼

I hate to share a Facebook video but @glaucomflecken.bsky.social isn't posting here lately and this seems useful. I hadn't thought of adding baby shampoo to the water when flushing pepper spray from the eyes. Makes sense but can't find evidence for it. Any other eye/ER docs with advice? #medsky

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

New music by The Boss, Bruce Springsteen… “Streets of Minneapolis” Give it a listen! m.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS... #ICEOutNow #MinnesotaStrong #TheBoss

OI YOU … Podcast on Azole Antifungals. Would be a shame if you reposted it to AAAAAAALLL your followers, and liked it and commented on what you thought of it below PLEASE DON’T DO THAT we hate popularity!! #IDsky #microsky #fungi podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

US maternal syphilis rate rises 28% in 2 years, marking continued surge in national epidemic The increase follows a previously documented 222% surge from 2016 to 2022. www.cidrap.umn.edu/s...

Love this kit, many folks handing these out in Minnesota! Shout out to my wife and her friends for putting these together! 1) Whistle, 3-D printed 2) instructions for what to do when a) ICE is nearby or b) ICE is detaining someone 3) know Your Rights tip sheet #ICEOutNow

We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them. This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u

Federal agents killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This moment demands vigilance NOT silence. Documenting & recording ICE is a constitutional right. 📣 Eyes on ICE: Document & Record 🗓️ 1/26 | ⏰ 8 PM ET 📍 RSVP NOW for link: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... Accountability begins with 👀 truth

Wife and I in tears reading this…

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

Strong work by @minnesotafrost.com by doing a moment of silence for Alex Pretti. Followed by stadium chanting “ICE out now!” #ICEOutNow #MNFrost

Want to help folks in Minneapolis/St. Paul? Follow the link to various mutual aid groups who are supporting our community members. linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid #ItTakeAVillage #NoICE

Our neighbors are holding vigils all over, neighbors are braving the cold to hold vigils at corners in our community. It’s -7 F right now I love my city. #NoICE

After hearing today’s news & knowing Alex Pretti - dry January is over. In my ICU rotations at Minneapolis VA, nights in residency, & days as a fellow in infectious diseases, I worked alongside Alex. Surely our nurses unions can help make some good trouble for a fallen hero? #Neat #NoICE #MedSky

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I am not safer. My kids are not safer. My patients are not safer. Another Minnesotan has been murdered by our ICE agents. This has to END. www.npr.org/2026/01/24/n... #MedSky #Minnesota #ICEOut

It’s -18F Our schools are closed. It’s not for the cold, it’s for ICE Protests in the streets today. So long as it’s above 0 Kelvin, we have to protect our city. I’d be with them except patients need to be seen, meropenem de-escalated. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi... #ICEout #MNNoICE

Any good recommendations on where to go birding in Maui? Visiting in February #Birding #BirdSky #HawaiiBirding

It is incredibly frustrating to see an ICE agent in our hospital walking alongside a patient and their nurse… We want to take care of our patients. We do not need this in our hospitals or in our city. www.kare11.com/article/news... #PatientsFirst #MedSky

We need to be able to treat our patients, this is normal… #NotNormal www.startribune.com/a-libyan-man...

A mother, a Minnesotan, a US citizen was killed today by ICE. The video shows my friend & fellow physician being denied trying to give her care. ICE allowed her to die without help… This is a god damn travesty and injustice happening on our streets… #MedSky www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-sh...

My kids & I got to witness one of the most amazing endurance athletes take on @twincitiesinmotion.bsky.social Marathon, #CourtneyDauwalter Amazing opportunity to see her run! Running a casual 26.2 conpared to her usual 100+ mile races! #ultrarunning #TCM Photo: Tailwind Nutrition

I find myself very frustrated with #Medicare. Why do they cover my patients going on IV antibiotics to a transitional care unit and not home? Seems like a good cost savings opportunity Many patients also frustrated… #IDSky #NewAttending @angiecraigmn.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com

Got my #COVID #Vaccine today! #IDsky

First day as an Infectious Diseases attending physician at InterMed Consultants! Started medical school 9 years ago… dream come true to be here doing this work today! www.intermedconsultants.com #IDDoc #IDSky

Off to enjoy some quality Ontario fishing to celebrate the end of fellowship! Wish us luck! #Fishing 🎣 #Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

We started this journey together 2 years ago… @idsainfo.bsky.social here we come! Before I started medical school, I had always wanted to be an ID doc… 4 years medical school 3 years IM residency 2 years ID fellowship Here we are… done ✅ #IDSky

Today is graduation… As a PGY-5, it’s been 9 years since I was a MS-1… My trusty sidekick, the pager on my side for 3 years of residency, 2 years of fellowship, & 2 many codes during COVID. I’ve had the pleasure to learn from the best at @umn-idim.bsky.social! End of a chapter. #IDSky

It’s a sad day. I’m holding my kids tight. I’m sad & furious that this is our world today. I’ve had the pleasure to meet both @melissahortman.bsky.social & @thedrummingsenator.bsky.social who are good folks representing Minnesotans. www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par... #SadDay #DoBetter4OurKids

I should add, now is a really good time to get on PrEP, get on DoxyPEP if eligible,use condoms and make sure you and your sexual partners are tested. We will see a rise in STIs ( we already were in a crisis situation before the cuts). This will get worse. Please see below for PrEP resources

Bottle Rocket Launch 🚀 day at Cub Scouts #Success #Launch

I really can't stress enough just how critical ID pharmacists are in improving patient care Over 6 months, 10 ID pharmacists were "curbsided" w/ 1,518 Qs, 3/4 from ID attendings 89% of answers led to changes in management!!! @erinmccreary.bsky.social @sidpharm.bsky.social #IDSky #PharmSky

A great day indeed! #ElClasico #GoBarca #MothersDay www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Day one of our “Fellows Forum” collaboration between @mayoclinic.org & @umn-idim.bsky.social was capped off with an excellent talk by @zekemd.bsky.social “Talking to the Media” #IDSky

Try as I might, my nemesis has gotten past my attempts to thwart their access to food… #BirdSky #SquirrelSky

My continuity clinic is a HIV clinic funded through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program I’ve heard bits of his story, courage, and advocacy in the face of death. Looking forward to learning more about a human that has had a dramatic impact on so many #HIV #RyanWhite #IDSky

Fascinating afternoon getting to talk to high school sophomores about a career in medicine & infectious diseases! Got to talk about: - Vaccines - The Ryan White Program - STI testing - @febrilepodcast.bsky.social #IDSky

Appreciate @minnpost.bsky.social & @deannapistono.bsky.social talking to us about our efforts to unionize residents & fellows at U of MN. Our goals are to make our trainees wellbeing a priority & continue to provide the best patient care possible! #Unionize www.minnpost.com/race-health-...

It has arrived! Looking forward to reading “Everything is Tuberculosis” by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social! #Tuberculosis #IDSky
