The end of FY 2025 is coming, and #OMB appears perfectly content to use us as targets. We are not their chess pieces. We serve our PIs. We are here in our personal capacities. Follow the #NIH.

Today I became a Jr. Conductor! Thanks @amtrak.com ! Love trains. 🚂🚂 #choo #choo

Massachusetts is standing strong. While many states across the country have restricted or even banned access to healthcare, Massachusetts has not backed down.

Massachusetts is becoming a vital refuge for trans people. Families are turning to @fenwayhealth.bsky.social for lifesaving, affirming care. We must keep the map of access open—and fight for every young person’s right to grow up with dignity. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/25/m...

Today I spoke at the Shield Law 2.0 signing with @massgovernor.bsky.social and other leaders. MA is meeting this moment with courage and conviction—protecting patients, providers & parents. Grateful to live in the Commonwealth where we’re not backing down.

On days like today, I’m proud to work at @fenwayhealth—a place where we show up authentically and celebrate Pride together. Huge thanks to the incredible Rose Quartz for bringing joy and power to our all staff meeting!

Grateful every day for our out elected officials like @zoandbehold.bsky.social and Sam Montaño —leading with courage, fighting with heart, and moving the needle for all of us. Your visibility, your advocacy, your presence in these rooms, writing legislation and advocating, is vital—especially now.

Another in flight emergency. Ensured the patient was well taken care of. Great job to the staff who responded phenomenally.

Political violence is never acceptable. Full stop.

Massachusetts raised the Pride flag at the State House today—and it couldn’t matter more. In a time of rising hate, this visibility, this leadership, this love—it means everything. We’ll keep fighting. We’ll keep shining. We are the beacon. 🌈

We spoke with NP Dallas Ducar about what clinicians can do amidst the current social and political landscape to take action and maintain best practices while meeting the needs of their gender-diverse patients. Read more here➡️ bit.ly/3ZoUJ9N @dallasducar.bsky.social #ClinicalAdvisor #PRIDE #MedSky

Spoke today at the 2025 ACE Symposium on mental health, identity, and access to care. Grateful to join voices from LGBTQ+, veteran, disabled, and men’s communities to explore how we break stigma, center resilience, and reimagine connection in nursing education.

It’s Pride! What a great day to be showing up for healthcare for all people! @fenwayhealth.bsky.social continues to rise in the face of increasing threats to affirming care, Medicaid access, and HIV prevention and treatment. Grateful to have joined alongside phenomenal leaders to fight our future.

@britshmit.bsky.social is one of the bravest scientists I know. So grateful for courageous colleagues like Brittany who are standing by their values and fighting for a healthier vision of America.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Proud to stand with the trans community at a time when we need it most. @fenwayhealth.bsky.social has and will always lead for healthcare for all.

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Happy International Women’s Day! So grateful to all the astounding women who have guided me on my own path. 💛

Yes.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

Exciting news—I’m joining the Agenda PAC Board! We’re taking the fight directly to anti-LGBTQ+ extremists at the ballot box. No waiting, no playing defense—just action. Rights are under attack, and we’re here to stop the most dangerous bigots in office. Join us.

So grateful for community. We need to be fighting for human rights now more than ever. Deeply thankful for our vital leaders!

Today, the Governor of Iowa signed a bill removing gender identity as a protected class in state law, the first time any state has removed a protected class in our country’s history. Trans youth in Iowa: I know you’re scared, but I want you to know that many people love you as you are.

Breaking news!

Great to see @mcuban.bsky.social today at Lake Nona! A true exemplar of disruption in healthcare. It’s time for similar work in the community health center space. We are the engine for America’s primary care/mental healthcare and a central point for continuous innovation.

“I’ll compare tariffs to radiation. Are there times when one should use radiation in healthcare, sure. Should irradiating people be a centerpiece of a healthcare approach, no. That’s my approach to tariffs.” - @larrysummers.bsky.social

All aboard!

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

To summarize: Republicans are taking healthcare away from working families so that they can give a giant wet kiss to billionaires, won’t stand up bullies, and are too chickenshit to face the voters they have conned and screwed over. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Last night, every single swing district Republican voted to cut Medicaid so they can shovel cash to their billionaire backers. If you’ve got an R representative, call now to let them know you’re furious: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare. Honored to have their trust with this story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sign of the day…

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

He's going to ask Grok to summarize it and decide who to fire

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

lol

My first and only time using Grok. Impressed with the accuracy!

👏👏👏

This is how it’s done.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The GOP. The party that stands against freedom of speech.

Needless, stupid, and cruel

This is absurd. The UVA Board of Visitors engaging in anticipatory obedience and framing the decision to not accept new patients as a “compassionate response.” Patients will die. I expect so much more from my alma mater — though I have never expected much from the Board.

Last night, the Charlottesville Human Rights Commission voted on a resolution supporting the right to gender-affirming care and sent it to the BOV this morning shorturl.at/zJt3m

As an “triple Hoo” alumni of UVA, I am horrified that this is even coming up for a vote. I received my first gender-affirming care here. It was life saving. As a UVA IDEA Board Member, we strongly oppose stopping care. Read our statement here: aig.alumni.virginia.edu/ideafund/202...
