Another great op-ed from @nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social on grandparents fiercely protecting their families through #vaccination www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/us-v... #GrandparentsForVaccines.

Why Grandparents Must Lead on Vaccines progressive.org/op-eds/why-g... Valuable perspective from @nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social #Vaccines save lives #GrandparentsForVaccines

Grandparents must lead on vaccines. We remember the dangers of vaccine preventable diseases. Our message- it is crucial that every child be vaccinated following the AAP childhood immunization schedule. @donnagaffney.bsky.social and my op-ed is here: www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/us-v...

“Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday night accused President Trump of intentionally fanning the flames of the Los Angeles protests and ‘pulling a military dragnet across’ the city endangering peaceful protesters and targeting hardworking immigrant families.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

LIVE: Prayer vigiI in Los Angeles calling for peace and solidarity Prayer vigil held in downtown Los Angeles, calling for peace and solidarity with immigrants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpwK...

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom urges peaceful protests: "I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."

I can forgive many things, but I cannot forgive being so terrible that you give Gavin Newsom a chance to appear courageous.

I drove 3 hours through LA today, on the 10, 110, 101, 60, thru DTLA, past Pasadena. What did I see, traffic slowdowns from two stalled cars. That’s it—If Trump wanted to see our city on fire he should have come in January. Thanks @jqwritesstuff.bsky.social for these photos @nurseteria.bsky.social

RFK Jr is enemy #1 when it comes to our children's health. Wrong on vaccines. Wrong on fluoride. Wrong on how to MAHA. @donnagaffney.bsky.social @pauloffit.bsky.social @defendpublichealth.bsky.social @physiciandemocracy.medsky.social @nursesforamerica.bsky.social progressive.org/op-eds/rfk-j...

relentlessschoolnurse.com/2025/05/03/t... @nurseteria.bsky.social @donnagaffney.bsky.social are back! While measles outbreaks are widely reported in the media, another preventable disease is quietly making a dangerous comeback: pertussis, or whooping cough.

Why would a man who believes vaccines are evil and the cause illness, launch a campaign to cause evil and illness? America's leadership is led by ruthless fascists, and some are delusional. Biden could have led the charge to expel & jail the traitor leaders, like Trump. But he didn't want too.

I had whooping cough last year and it took a full 5 months to get over of the cough. 0 out of 5 Stars. Not recommended. (I thought it had been eradicate and didn't realize I should have gotten a booster).

Kinda crazy there’s a vaccine for this as well. You would think people would stop listening to an anti vaccination person who has been vaccinated

So, let me get this straight. When a boat plowed into the key bridge, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social was targeted as a do-nothing DEI hire But when RFK jr literally drives disease instead of fighting it, there's crickets everywhere?

People, it’s easy , listen to your doctor. Not this administration. They don’t care about you. His own family spoke out against him. He makes a lot of money selling snake oil . Get your kids vaccinated, get yourselves vaccinated. Try to be healthy , use your common sense.

The Trump regime wants all of us sick - poor and stupid. It’s their idea of the Golden Era. Anyone who survives is the house servant or worker .

1st 100 days- NOT 1st in anything! Stocks falling off a cliff. Measles exploding. DOE decimated. NIH, CDC, FDA gutted. National security under siege. US born citizens assaulted and deported. Press under attack. Veterans left behind. Allies alienated. Recession pending. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ‼️🚨

It's not just measles. Major leadership failure by RFK Jr and pertussis is raging! Op Ed nurses @donnagaffney.bsky.social and @nurseteria.bsky.social published today in @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social @justin-gill.bsky.social @defendpublichealth.bsky.social www.seattletimes.com/opinion/add-...

From the Editorial Board: Our public libraries serve as a great equalizer. Funding them should be a priority.

This is why @davidkessler.bsky.social said on @rachelmaddow.bsky.social it will be extremely difficult to restore trials. Supply chain interruption killed trials and may kill the patients they were intended to help. Read @donnagaffney.bsky.social and my op ed www.portlandtribune.com/opinion/loca...

Nurses are standing up! (well at least some of us are!) @donnagaffney.bsky.social www.portlandtribune.com/opinion/loca...

“As the nation waits on Congress and the courts to determine the future of NIH funding, fear and uncertainty rise, for health care professionals, scientists and the patients whose lives depend on their work.” Well done @nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social !

I’ve written and published 15 op Ed’s since April 2024 with the great @donnagaffney.bsky.social @eileen24.bsky.social @timothyholtz.bsky.social @ezekieltaylor.bsky.social Dr. Arthur Lavin and Savannah Powell. This one makes me 😭 What are we doing America? www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

Excellent piece on the impact of vaccine refusal by @donnagaffney.bsky.social and Teri Mills. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/19/o...

@nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social published another amazing Op-Ed for the Portland Tribune “Every measure he [Trump] has taken seems designed to erode, not protect, the health and well-being of Americans. Is this what we signed up for?” www.portlandtribune.com/townnews/pol...

Your op ed nurses published again. When we see harm being done to the patients and families we serve we speak out! @donnagaffney.bsky.social @nursesforamerica.bsky.social @protectourcare.bsky.social @robincogan.bsky.social www.portlandtribune.com/townnews/pol...

Not to mention NO AMA opposition statement to RFK Jr's HHS nomination-only crickets. @nursesforamerica.bsky.social did! Here is what was placed into Congressional Record by @wyden.senate.gov See my profile for op-ed links, interview, LTE's @donnagaffney.bsky.social docs.google.com/forms/d/16oZ...

Bravo to @justin-gill.bsky.social for shedding light on the devastating impact of destructive policy & misinformation. Our patients trust us— to protect their lives, provide evidence-based care, and safeguard our communities. #TruthMatters #HealthcareIntegrity www.seattletimes.com/opinion/a-nu...

Another slap in the face from RFK to frontline healthcare workers. I’m sure he wasn’t the one who donned PPE to treat the people suffering from COVID. He promoted vaccine misinfo… while we all worked hard and sacrificed to help our patients. @protectourcare.org @nursesforamerica.bsky.social

Please read and share two nurses' Newsweek Op Ed on how polio could resurge with RFK Jr. @donnagaffney.bsky.social @nursesforamerica.bsky.social www.newsweek.com/when-did-we-...

Like @donnagaffney.bsky.social and I keep saying, RFK Jr MUST NOT become HHS Secretary. Please keep calling your US Senators and tell them to vote NO on his confirmation www.pressherald.com/2024/12/18/o...

Starter pack 4 coming today for public health defenders repro rights and stop RFK Jr Who wants in? @unseenbeene.medsky.social @Justin-gil.bsky.social @donnagaffney.bsky.social @ryanhamilton.bsky.social @Eileen24.bsky.social

"Now it's your turn to stand guard. May you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it too. God bless you all. May God protect our troops. Thank you for this great honor." Thank you #JoeBiden

Proud of my US Senator @murray.senate.gov for her commitment to standing up for basic public health principles and evidence-based science. Nurses know firsthand about the consequences of harmful health policy! @protectourcare.org @nursesforamerica.bsky.social

In coalition w/ nurses associations across the US, @wsna.bsky.social is speaking up on the concerning incoming HHS nominations. Nursing voices are needed in this moment. We must stand up for our foundational pillars: evidence-based science & public health. @protectourcare.org #nursesky

We take a bold stand against any current or future nominees that aim to sow distrust in evidence-based recommendations, vaccines, or our public health institutions.

Nurses absolutely agree. Please read our Op-Ed published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette! Donna and I welcome the opportunity to talk with media about dangers RFK Jr poses to our patients. @joyannreid.bsky.social @donnagaffney.bsky.social @meidastouch.com www.post-gazette.com/opinion/gues...

RFK Jr does not have the character and integrity to lead HHS Please read @donnagaffney.bsky.social and my LTE www.portlandtribune.com/opinion/opin...

Please consider having @donnagaffney.bsky.social and @nurseteria.bsky.social on your show to discuss the RFK Jr nomination-we’ve now had 8 Op Ed’s published in past month and have a lot of public health expertise. My DM is open (will block random messengers) Thanks for considering!

Kudos to the #OpEdNurses @donnagaffney.bsky.social & @nurseteria.bsky.social who had another one of their important pieces published, this time in @newsweek.com! The OpEd Nurses Are Asking - When Did We Stop Being Afraid of Polio? relentlessschoolnurse.com/2025/01/08/t...

“To safeguard our kids, we need an HHS secretary who trusts science and champions the safety and benefits of vaccines. That leader is not Kennedy.” @nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social submitted another beautifully written piece for @newsweek.com! www.newsweek.com/when-did-we-...

Hawaii's governor, Josh Green, responded to the measles outbreak as a practicing physician. He's in DC this week to share his story with senators. 3.14 Action, a liberal advocacy group, also is running ads this week blasting RFK Jr and condemning how anti-vaccine rhetoric harmed Samoa.

@nurseteria.bsky.social @donnagaffney.bsky.social who I affectionately call #TheOpEdNurses because of their prolific writing collaboration resulting in multiple published OpEds in newspapers across the country! Congrats friends - your advocacy is admirable relentlessschoolnurse.com/2025/01/06/t...
