Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.

The American people do not bow down.

No deployment of the military in our cities.

No illegal mass racial profiling.

No kings in America.

A culture that tolerates and elevates pseudoscience will be at odds with the health of its citizens.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

It's hard to make sense of all the multiple discourses about the NHS. I find myself sceptical a lot of the time- there's so much promotion of vested interests. The people I trust are those who step back & consider diverse forms of evidence, & who are committed to an inclusive, participatory process.

An unrushed conversation that enables us to hear each other & let our thinking unfold- if this was a medicine it'd be sold as a breakthrough!

But it's just a basic human way of being- that enables understanding, dignity, & inclusion. And our fast paced 'efficient' environment constantly stifles it.

Time & time again I see the negative impact of forcing things - forcing people - when they're not ready. And in contrast, I see the ease of giving things time to unfold naturally.

When are we gonna see how the relentless pressure on pace, & packing our schedules, is making us miserable & stressed?

After Steve died, I was shattered and all that thinky time made my brain want to explode 🤯

For anyone grieving, try to create routines and habits that give your mind a break for a moment 💛

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky

Focusing too narrowly on NHS productivity only adds to a sense of slog & like being worked into the ground is our goal.

But supporting creativity, learning, trying new ways, even just having time to think or catch up with a colleague- these all matter in creating conditions for decent patient care.

Research shows for employees, “feeling respected” is 17.9 X more powerful a predictor of an organisation’s culture score than the average factor (& 2 X as strong as the 2nd most important factor, supportive leadership). Advice for leaders:

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
