I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

…and @drjaimefriedman.bsky.social @drscottk.medsky.social @deannamarie208.bsky.social @tphammd.bsky.social and of course @tom.medsky.social 🙂

MANY more pediatricians that bring hope, facts, and clarity. If you’re a parent or grandparent, or just want solid info on child health, search #PedSky 👶🏼💕👧🏽

This list from the AAP on pediatricians to follow for trustworthy content is great but also missing @drelizabethmurray.bsky.social, @shematologist.medsky.social, @oligoclonalband.medsky.social, and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social.

It's too biased towards Instagram creators IMO.

There will be coffee. And raindrops. And hungry pup wags. And my daughter’s hug.

Hope. Hold it. Goodnight, all ✨

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago.

We are everything.

dansinker.com/posts/202…
No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.
