I’ve always been a proud Iowan, but not today. 🖤
Iowa officials r harming the LGBTQIA+ community. Silence isn’t an option. If we fail to protect our people it stifles innovation, discourages talent, and weakens all of us.

The most important video you will watch today!
Jillian Michaels delivers a passionate speech about the Chronic Disease Epidemic: “I don't know about you, but I've watched my friends jabbing themselves every day with fertility drugs, praying for a pregnancy. My friends getting up at the crack of dawn to get radiated where the lump was found in their breast. My friends swallowing fistfuls of pills to manage their debilitating anxiety and depression.”
“The decades between 1980 and now didn't beget a genetic quantum leap in which our DNA inexplicably mutated to make American bodies expand and fall ill at an unprecedented pace.”
“The default human condition in the 21st century is obese by design. Specific traceable forms of what's referred to as structural violence are created by the catastrophic quartet of big farming, big food, big pharma, and big insurance. They systematically corrupt every institution of trust which has led to the global spread of obesity and disease, dysfunctional and destructive agricultural legislation like the Farm Bill, which favors high yield, genetically engineered crops like corn and soy, leading to the proliferation of empty calories.”
“When people like us try to sound the alarm, they ensure that we are swiftly labelled as anti science, fat shamers, and even racists.”
“These monster corporations have mastered the art of distorting the research, influencing the policy, buying the narrative, engineering the environment, and manipulating consumer behaviour.”
“While I have been fortunate enough to pull many back from the edge, over the course of my 30 year career, I have lost just as many, if not more than I have saved. I have watched them slip through my fingers, mothers that orphaned their children, husbands that widowed their wives. I have even watched parents forced to suffer the unthinkable loss of their adult children.”
“We are in the middle of an extinction level event. The American people need help. They need heroes. People of Washington, your constituents chose you to be their champion. Please be the change.”
Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.
New research w/ @DerrickBransby@MichaelaJune suggests that new hires' #PsychologicalSafety erodes quickly after joining an organization.

Alison Wade has given so much to women’s running & this project on barriers to women coaching women is hugely important. I tell every journalist who asks abt gender equity & coaching to look at sports that are often combined gender programs… now—thx to Alison—we have receipts!
The shooting at Perry High School in Iowa isn't even the first school shooting this year in America. And it's only January 4th. Our legislative acceptance of this is truly jaw-dropping. #enough#Perry#raygun
Iowans deserve the right to control their bodies and futures. Today, Gov. Kim Reynolds asked the state’s courts to reinstate a six-week abortion ban that was previously ruled unconstitutional. If allowed, the ban would effectively eliminate safe, legal abortion in Iowa.
