Wife, mom, Christian, LGBTQ ally, anti-book bans, & feminist fashionista. I’m happiest on the beach, in a library, & in conversations about lifting women and minorities out of the unequal systems of oppression. I believe love wins when we love them all.

I know a lot of us have doubts about whether we could organize a potluck or book club, nevermind a revolution.
So if you need to start with potlucks and book clubs, try that for starters.

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in!
If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

Medicaid & Medicare have a 2-3% overhead. For-profit health insurance has a 20% overhead & near unlimited on drug costs.
Both provide the exact same doctors & meds. The only difference is for profit had massive markup to pay for CEO bonuses & private jets.
We need universal healthcare. Period.

Welp—NBC News conforming that Trump's Sect of Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth paid a woman an undisclosed amount after she accused him of sexual assault. Hegseth confirms paying her in 2023 but says she is lying
He now claims he's being attacked b/c he's Christian. No dude—it's b/c of the sexual abuse

A few thoughts:
1. Speak up everywhere, combine all of your micro power into macro power
2. Remember you are an expert
3. Don’t take no for an answer
4. Keep your patients at the center of everything you do
5. Be yourself (people like people who sound like real people)

Prescription power yes, but also some amount of social standing, influence, and privilege.
So I ask, instead of getting mad at the things I cannot change, how can I wield my limited doctor power to make positive change?
