Everyone is impacted when our health care system is weakened. Tomorrow join the conversation with me & Robin Rudowitz from @kff.org at the @umnsph.bsky.social as we discuss what the federal cuts to #Medicaid will mean for the health of our state. #MedSky

I’m a health insurance broker. I had 2 enrollment meetings today where the sentiment of people losing their health care on the Exchange has altered their lives. A single mom welled up because she has to choose between covering herself or covering her kids. She’s already working two jobs. #Pinks

These farm workers are not criminals. These are hard-working, long term members of our communities, being unlawfully and violently targeted simply for looking Latino and working class. The reckless and chaotic tactics being used are a danger to public safety and in clear violation of the law.

The reprehensible plan to withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from infants in Guinea-Bissau was stopped once, and we need to stop it again. If you’re in the US, the first action item is to contact your members of congress. There are instructions in the thread below. Please consider using your voice.

Ophthalmologist Dr. Agatha Aboe led the medical campaign in Ghana to eliminate trachoma (leading infectious cause of preventable blindness globally). It worked. Ghana became the 1st country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the disease, 2018. #WorldSightDay #WomenInSTEM
A low-angle, close-up portrait of renowned Ghanaian ophthalmologist and public health pioneer Dr. Agatha Aboe. Celebrated for leading the historic medical campaign that made Ghana the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate trachoma in 2018, she is captured looking upward and to the left with an optimistic, serene smile. Her black hair is neatly styled with shaved, patterned sides. She wears distinctive semi-translucent, light-blue-framed glasses and bright orange, teardrop-shaped beaded earrings that offer a vibrant color contrast. Her top is a simple, high-collared bright blue shirt. The background features a soft-focus, minimalist golden-yellow architectural column under warm, natural sunlight. The tight composition and uplifting lighting establish an empowering, visionary mood, symbolizing her historical significance as a leading global voice for Women in STEM who now exports eye-health roadmaps to other endemic nations

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Trump is a disgrace to the office and to humanity. He has ZERO respect for the military. He is grossly incompetent and unqualified to be our commander in chief. What an embarrassment. That lying, treasonous, corrupt, racist, pedophile deserves the 25th, but the REPUBLICANS are spineless cowards.
San Diego has one of the largest concentrations of US Navy and Marines Corps forces in the world and serves as a hub for the US Pacific Fleet. 

San Diego County is home to over 110,000 active duty military members and roughly 60,000 military children. 

It's home to more than 200,000 veterans and retirees.
