We’re joining the WHO!!! EO coming soon… ❤️ Governor Evers

1/ This week I talked with Judge Chris Taylor, running for Wisconsin Supreme Court. She lost her mom in October. She wondered how she'd survive the campaign trail. What she found: the people of Wisconsin have been healing her heart.

This conversation with Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Judge Chris Taylor is essential listening. State courts = our only firewall against federal chaos right now. Links to full episode in bio. @christaylorwi.bsky.social @civicmedia.us @heartlandsignal.bsky.social @georgianow.bsky.social

Activist doctors are incredibly dangerous? Damn right we are. Dangerous to disinformation. Dangerous to lies. Dangerous to politicians who think they can practice medicine without a license. Thanks for the shirt idea, troll. It fits perfectly.

Bondi couldn't even turn around for them. Survivors standing right behind her. Rep Jayapal asking her to just apologize on a human level. And she just… sat there. Staring straight ahead.

This week's Substack newsletter: why power runs from accountability, my conversation with Daily Show co-founder Lizz Winstead about comedy as resistance, and what it means that the GOP knows exactly what's coming in November.

Perfección! 🐰🇵🇷

When your mind is all in but your body just can’t. Heartbroken for Lindsay Vonn.

The woman who co-created The Daily Show and Air America is now weaponizing comedy to fight authoritarianism and improve abortion access. @lizzwinstead.bsky.social of @abortionfront.bsky.social on why laughter is RESISTANCE! NEW EPISODE out now - links in bio.

Wisconsin is taxing people for menstruating. New bipartisan bill would finally eliminate the 5% tax on tampons and pads - the products people spend $5K-$9K on over a lifetime because periods aren’t optional. 32 states already did this. Wisconsin is dragging its feet. Call your legislators.

New Substack is up! Amanda Zurawski on what it takes to fight back after politicians nearly kill you. ACOG telling Trump to keep his money - we'll protect our patients without you. Nationwide tributes to Alex Pretti, executed by ICE. And more…link in bio

Wisconsin Republican State Senators are retiring en masse rather than face voters after years of attacking our reproductive freedom. They know exactly what November brings. Wisconsin voters remember.

I was making an appointment today when the person who was helping me stopped, smiled, and asked “Are you a doctor?” I said yes. She smiled again, bigger this time. “You’re the one,” she said. “Thank you.”

Texas politicians nearly killed Amanda Zurawski. She survived to tell the truth. One of Time’s 2025 Women of the Year is on my show RIGHT NOW on Georgia NOW! @georgianow.bsky.social Or watch/listen whenever you like: 📺 YouTube @DrKristinLyerly 🎙️ Wherever you get your podcasts

Exceptions for life of the mother” means Amanda Zurawski had to develop a life-threatening infection before TX doctors could help her. She survived. Now she’s making sure voters don’t forget. New episode drops today at noon central - links in bio.

Providers, patients, Americans — we are counting on Congress. Get ICE out of our hospitals now. Sign the petition here:

Random Lake Fire & EMTs saved my life. I stopped by today to say thank you. Nearly all of them are volunteers. Rural first responders are in crisis - empty rosters, longer response times, burnout. THEY show up every single time that pager goes off. WE need to show up for them, too.

@us.theguardian.com on @acog.org vs. Trump’s assault on science: while major organizations cave and pay him off, ACOG rejected federal funding so we can keep fighting for our patients. No compliance. No silence. Just standing up to protect the evidence-based care ACOG is known for. Link ⬇️

Still waiting for that FBI visit the right-wing trolls promised me. Should I put on coffee or bake some cookies or…? In the meantime, back to work protecting my patients and my community.

Wisconsin Governor Race 2026: @theothermandela.bsky.social on what's at stake. Repro. Healthcare. Democracy. Wisconsin is a swing state - what happens here ripples nationally. Full conversation on “The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show” on YouTube @DrKristinLyerly and wherever you get your podcasts.

Right now would be a great time for the Trump regime to re-classify nursing as a “professional” degree. They should call it the Pretti program.

Wisconsin’s Governor race has national stakes. Mandela Barnes wants the job. I asked the tough questions about 2022, healthcare, & why we should trust him this time. NEW EPISODE streaming now on YouTube & podcasts (links in bio). 👀 and decide for yourself. @theothermandela.bsky.social

Nurses are our hearts. Do not fuck with them. Ever.

I was angry. Now I’m outraged. And it’s personal. Stay tuned. And Fuck ICE.

Today would be a great day to make sure you are registered to vote!

WI Republicans just passed a bill treating women like incubators. SB 553 pushes dangerous C-sections over safe D&Cs for nonviable pregnancies and threatens IVF by calling fertilized eggs "human beings." As I told @msmagazine.com, my job is preserving my patients' health - not serving GOP ideology.

@jesscraven101.bsky.social has mobilized tens of thousands by giving them something better than fear: something to DO. I wrote about our conversation - why monsters feed on doomscrolling, how "Chop Wood, Carry Water" became a movement, and what we can do RIGHT NOW. NEW on Substack.

I’m sitting on a flight, waiting to take off, listening to a jazz instrumental medley of Nirvana hits and I’m not quite sure how feel about it.

My ACOG Family - especially this group of bad ass red state docs - knows exactly how to lift each other up so we can keep working for our PATIENTS, even in the toughest environments. @acog.org

This is NOT normal. And we refuse to let the next generation think it is. Jess Craven & I on restoring democratic norms. Full episode TODAY: 🎙️ Noon ET - Georgia NOW in Atlanta 📺 YouTube @DrKristinLyerly 🎧 Civic Media & podcasts @jesscraven101.bsky.social @civicmedia.us @georgianow.bsky.social

The cure for political doomscrolling is on today’s episode. Jess Craven built one of the biggest grassroots organizing communities by proving daily action beats despair. New episode drops at noon Central! Links in bio @jesscraven101.bsky.social @civicmedia.us @heartlandsignal.bsky.social

Wisconsin Republicans passed SB553: a bill forcing unnecessary C-sections instead of safe abortion care. They see pregnant people as incubators, not humans. This is medical malpractice written into law.

Wisconsin Republicans are so dumb and racist, they put out a hit piece on one Black candidate for governor but accidentally pictured the other.

At today’s Senate HELP hearing, Republicans pushed conspiracy theories about people slipping abortion medication into women’s drinks instead of discussing mifepristone’s actual safety data. As an OB-GYN: this is deranged fear-mongering, not healthcare policy.

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and lifesaving. Also hard to pronounce. #mife

Most Americans are now getting their health information from social media.

RFK changed CDC vaccine recommendations without consulting pediatricians or presenting new data. This is what happens when politics replaces science in healthcare. And our children pay the price.

OMG I just taped our next episode of “The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show” with THE @jesscraven101.bsky.social and she worked her magic - I’m full of hope and ready to goooooooooo! I can’t wait to share it with you 💕🎧👀 Saturday…

Got myself a whistle. It looks great with all my outfits, and everyone who sees me knows exactly where I stand. F$CK ICE

🍑 We're in Atlanta! 🍑 Georgia NOW Radio debut TODAY at 12pm ET with @nikkivinck.bsky.social (links in bio for all the ways you can watch & listen) What happens when healthcare fails patients, and what YOU can actually do about it. Been dismissed? Gaslit? This episode is for you.

You betcha I’m standing with my Minnesota family, now and always. Fuck ICE

In the video in the post, you can see that the officer can clearly get out of the way of the vehicle, at first doesn't, pulls his firearm and continues to shoot as the driver has already driven past him. bsky.app/profile/bnon...

Politics, not medicine: RFK Jr.‘s abrupt changes to the childhood vaccine schedule are not backed by science or data. Our children will suffer. Hear the whole conversation on The Majority Report with Sam Seder. @majorityreport.bsky.social

On January 6 and always, I stand with these HEROES - Harry Dunn & Daniel Hodges - who put their lives on the line for us and our democracy. @libradunn1.bsky.social @semperwry.bsky.social

Something feels a little off here… Can’t quite put my finger on it…

If we’re going to copy Denmark’s vaccine recommendations, we should also copy their high-quality, taxpayer-funded, universal healthcare system.
