For those in Houston- I’m helping a progressive organizer friend who has fallen on hard times. She is a fierce organizer who hates asking for help, but even $5 or $10 would go a long way to help her get her car back! Thank y’all ;)

Should Donald Trump have a psychiatric evaluation? Absolutely! The Judge can order one at any time. This is what I and my colleagues have been trying to inform the nation about since 2016 (before the APA silenced us, and ALL the calamities, exactly as we predicted, began).

Solidarity from TX to OHIO- y’all have a big special election Tues 8/8/23. Issue 1 would require a 60% (not 51%) vote to change OH amendments. And…this was meant to BLOCK future abortion-rights amendments #VoteNOonIssue1 #ProtectChoiceOhio #AllPolicyIsHealthcarePolicy

Progressive candidate alert! I’ve known Allison for over 20 years now, and she could use some love on Twitter. She is principled and who I want as a Harris County judge. She’s an underdog and mom of 3- every bit of donation helps! Thanks! https://t.co/ht3iQDQF2z #BlueCrew

So honored to support progressive Asian candidate Karthik Soora for TX state senate! We’re trying to reach a $3,000 goal to hit MATCHING from a donor- every donation helps! Thanks! https://t.co/qxtyZuTelF

We knew this hearing was a sham to fearmonger against teachers unions, but even the GOP Chair of the Select Subcommittee "didn't disagree" with @AFTunion's recommendations to the CDC.

So, why we here?

Pregnancy can kill previously healthy people with no medical problems. I’ve seen it happen.

Anyone who claims otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.

Thank you @HoustonChron for publishing my letter to the editor; students with disabilities should NOT be an afterthought to the folks at the TEA trying to take over @HISD! #TEAgoAWAY @HoustonCVPE

[Sujan Gogu, DO @sujangogu]

The FTC's comment period for the proposed "Non-Compete Clause Rule" is an important opportunity to share concerns about its potential impact on patient safety and physician employment practices.

Please consider cosigning our letter to the FTC!

Doctors in politics aren’t just running for office- we’re also showing up to protests to save public education. State takeovers are costly and don’t work, and won’t help in Houston @HISD #TEAgoAWAY #PublicEd #Physicians4Patients

[Audrey Nath, MD, PhD @AudreyNathMDPhD]

@1JaySC 💙 Just fighting the dismantling of #PublicEd in Houston, where the state is threatening a takeover of @HISD. Our neighborhood school rocks, the district has an overall B rating, how on earth is this “small govt” #TEAgoAWAY @HoustonCVPE @TeamHISD

@DCarlisleTX And Diary of Anne Frank. So instead of learning about how the Holocaust began, they just want to repeat every one of the steps all over again

[Dr. Dan Hochman @HochmanForSBOE]

Exciting news- we have a donor who will MATCH donations up to $10,000 through 9/15! Please consider donating, even a small dollar amount, as it will go TWICE as far! Thank you!!

My 55 yo friend who is having postmenopausal bleeding just called me from CVS in TX bc they refused to fill her Rx for misoprostol (used to open the cervix) bc she couldn’t prove she wasn’t having an abortion. She is having surgery in 2 days. This is what total abortion bans do.

Oil billionaires funding school board candidates to funnel more taxpayer $ to private Christian schools..this is NOT ok! Private schools are not obligated to enroll students with disabilities! Thank you @hochmanforsboe for talking about this issue

[Dr. Dan Hochman @HochmanForSBOE]

Former associates of Dunn and Wilks who spoke to CNN said the billionaires are both especially focused on education issues, and their ultimate goal is to replace public education with private, Christian schooling. Wilks is a pastor at the church his father founded, and Dunn

I couldn't stop cracking up while interviewing @JoshBlueComedy about comedy, #cerebralpalsy, @parasoccer, and defying expectations. And, special thank you to @drbhooma for expert commentary re: the latest in CP research! #BrainAndLife
