@PaulNWilliamz Exactly.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker by offering concessions to the pro-insurrection caucus on the two year anniversary of January 6th is just a perfect statement about the GOP

Minutes ago, Virginia proposed a sweeping anti trans law.

It would ban gender affirming care under 21 years old, forcibly medically detransitioning them.

It would force all government agents to notify parents in writing if kids exhibit "gender nonconformity"

This needs to stop

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Virginia is now added to the list of states that are also considering adult bans on transgender people:

TX
OK
NH
SC
KS
VA

[Lauren Eaker, APRN @Onc_ART_AGPCNP]

Protect trans people at all costs.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

"It's not that bad stop being a doomer" they say as databases of trans people are compiled.

"You're overracting" they say as Texas investigates parents of trans kids for child abuse.

"Stop making people scared" they say as several states consider forcing adults to detransition.

I hate to break it to you, @elonmusk

But a company choosing not to advertise on your platform is actually a perfect example of…

Wait for it…

Free speech.

@PaulNWilliamz I want to shout-out your NRT thread. I’m a new NP in primary care/rural health & I’ve used this algorithm 4x in last 2 wks w/pts that had no idea we had REAL options to help. Pearls abt bad dreams & smoking during initiation have been lifesavers. Many Thx. #NPsloveMedTwitter

💥 #364 Screening for syphilis: A USPSTF Update with Dr. Katrina Donahue- We ran the numbers, and it’s still important! Should patients be screened for #syphilis? If so, which ones? #FOAMed #MedEd - https://t.co/dxZUPOhCH1

@AaronGoodman33 As a wise surgical attending impressed on me during my intern year, “We need to evaluate every action or decision we make on behalf of a patient that we are doing something ‘for’ the patient and not ‘to’ the patient.”

@TheSpiritualAr2 @LuckeeNein If you were in Kentucky I would take you in with open arms! There are providers out there that want nothing more than to love on and care for our queer family! GLMA has a National directory of LGBTQ+supportive and experienced providers. Sending love and light.

@RyanMarino @TraumaSoapBoxes THANK YOU.

I’ve gotten 2 amazing 🤯 testimonials this week from women trying viagra and cialis.

1 took viagra 25mg 1 hour before intimate time

1 took cialis 5mg 1 hour before intimate time.

[Elliot Tapper @ebtapper]

This interesting paper needs a close read

🔥takes🔥
Does metformin reduce the absolute risk of liver cancer by >50%? No

Can we judge the impact of metformin in 647 ppl by comparing it to 134 ppl w/DM who had bad blood gluc but weren’t on metformin? I dont think so

@jaxdotcom @GrayRohrer @katikokal All just to bully, like, 2 kids

I think every woman/person capable of giving birth needs to become VERY FREAKING AWARE of what is happening &what is continuing to brew.

For the worst part, we KNOW this Orwellian mess is BUILT on transphobia/trans hatred and it HAS TO STOP. People. We have to wake up.

[Florida Times-Union @jaxdotcom]

Florida female student athletes have to report their menstrual history to play: When they got their first period, when they had their last one, etc. A third party has access to that info, and parents and doctors are raising red flags https://t.co/172JNDanBL @katikokal

[Lauren Eaker, APRN @Onc_ART_AGPCNP]

This is how we change the world.

It’s worth going down ALL THE RABBIT HOLES with these threads.

*taps mic*

In about 10 minutes, the Supreme Court is going to hear oral arguments in #MerrillVMilligan, a case in which Alabama is essentially complaining that more than one majority Black district in the very Black state of Alabama is giving Black voters a pass and is racist.

[Lauren Eaker, APRN @Onc_ART_AGPCNP]

@JuanitaTolliver @LouClinicEscort Just knowing the cases they have chosen to address this term puts a pit in my stomach. I think many of us know exactly what this means.

[Lauren Eaker, APRN @Onc_ART_AGPCNP]

#MedTwitter for the win. So many resources. Additionally, you can’t lose with the Curbsiders team.
