You’ve seen this all before. They run the same script over and over again. You know all the beats. The formula never changes.

“Oh no, the people in the targeted nation are being oppressed! They need freedom and democracy!”

“Hey, I bet we could use our powerful military to help them get the freedom and democracy! Wouldn’t that be swell?”

“Oh gosh, there are some people who don’t think we should use our powerful military to help the people in the targeted nation get freedom and democracy! They must have some sinister, suspicious loyalty to the Evil Regime which rules the targeted nation!”

“Look, I get that sometimes in the past we have used our powerful military in ways that were mean and unhelpful, but you need to understand that the Evil Regime is also very, very bad. Two things can be true at the same time, you know!”

“Oh no, now the Evil Regime is committing atrocities! You know it’s true because it’s in the news, and the news isn’t allowed to lie! We’ve got to DO something! We can’t just DO NOTHING!”

Don’t fall for it.

Don’t fall for the propaganda.

Don’t fall for the imperial concern trolling about human rights.

Don’t fall for the nuance policing and both-sidesing of the empire’s operatives and useful idiots.

Don’t let the empire apologists shout you down and shut you up.

Stand your ground. This is exactly what it looks like. You are right, and they are wrong.

They’re not doing anything new. They’re using the same old script. Hell, they’re even using a lot of the same actors. This is the same bullshit as always.

Trust your gut. Have confidence in your own inner vision. You’ve got this.

There’s probably going to be a whole lot of narrative distortion dumped into the information ecosystem in the coming days, but they’re not going to make a sucker out of you.

You’re seeing things much too clearly now.

Consult: We have a patient here with vaginal bleeding

[Kelsey @KelseyObGyn]

ObGyn interns: do a pelvic exam.
Every time (with patient consent of course).
Seriously.
Do them, every dang time.
Why?

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

A woman in rural Oklahoma developed a nonviable, molar pregnancy that became cancerous. She went to the hospital for an emergency D&C, and they told her she had to wait in the parking lot until her condition became worse before they could treat her: https://t.co/XfHTyo7ySO

Epic mansplaining about how periods work.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

women are showing great restraint in not burning everything to the fucking ground right now and I don't know how they do it

The precedent this sets should terrify even of you who think abortion should be illegal. Here’s why. 🧵

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

Why do judges get to make medical decisions? Can I make legal rules? What the hell.

[Alanna Vagianos @AlannaVagianos]

BREAKING: Idaho governor quietly signed the abortion trafficking bill into law tonight. It's the first law to restrict interstate travel for abortion care since Roe fell.

The law goes into effect 30 days from today. https://t.co/UQS3ExvL2m

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

There should be public outrage, frankly, over the fact that OB/GYN departments receive only 1% of NIH research funding.

OB/GYN and our specialties provide the majority of care and surgery women receive in a lifetime, but ONE PERCENT of the research dollars.

This is a crisis.

America:

Buy a gun: Go to seller, buy gun.

Buy birth control: Call to make appointment, wait 4 months for new patient appointment, get prescription, bring to pharmacy, be told next day it’s not covered by insurance, call doctor, leave message, get return call 2 days later, /1

@ElleLettMDPhD Not to mention the studies that show fewer complications and better outcomes when your surgeon is a woman.

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

We all need to remind everyone everyday that trans people are being used as scapegoats by a bunch of politicians who don't want to fix any real problems like economic inequality or the environment or the broken healthcare system.

Let me not mince words when I say this…

⁦@elonmusk⁩ you’re a trash human being for posting this bs

[Brittany 💕 @BelleEspritNoir]

I asked my Latina patient three different ways yesterday about depressive episodes and irritability and anger kept coming up. Not your textbook, PHQ9 sadness. Culturally-informed care matters. Depression in Black & brown women can look different but still warrants treatment.

[Amani Jambhekar MD, MBA, FACS @AjvictoryMD]

Overheard in clinic:
Front desk: Mr. Jones, your doctor retired. Dr. Igwe replaced him.
Mr. Jones: What kind of name is that?? Where are all the Johnsons and Smiths?
FD: They didn’t get into medical school but if you’d like to see a doctor, Dr. Igwe will be happy to see you.

Dear Ob/Gyn,

It's #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth.

You've got a busy schedule, two more cases this morning, a full PM clinic and a social commitment at 5:30.

You see this on the screen. Be honest with yourself. Do you see #endometriosis?

Yes or no?
