Veterans are 2-3x more likely to develop ALS than the rest of us.
They fought for us. The least we can do is to fight for them to receive the due process for new treatments that they deserve.
Please take a moment to read the press release below and share it with everyone.
In advance of election night, I think it's useful to calibrate expectations to the fundamentals, not to polls or vibes.
So, a good calibration:
House: Dems lose ~40-45 seats
Senate: Dems lose 1-3 seats
Anything significantly less = Dem over-performance. Here's why.
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
Highland Park mass shooting update: Family calls police to say man threatened to "kill everyone." They take his knives. Father, however, later sponsors son's application for a gun permit. State gives it to him, couldn't prove he was dangerous. This is America
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
This is me.
At 36, I was a federal criminal prosecutor.
At 37, I was diagnosed with ALS and given 6 months to live.
I’m now 41, and have founded a mold-shattering non-profit, @iamalsorg, and a transformational telemedicine company, @synapticure.
So, yeah, never give up.

While Republican politicians are loudly banning trans girls and women from sports, two states are more quietly making it a felony to provide lifesaving healthcare to trans youth. Idaho is moving a bill that would send doctors to prison for LIFE for prescribing puberty blockers.
In which FL republicans admit they filed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill because more kids are comfortable coming out these days and that makes them feel icky.

A lot of pundits and lawmakers out there are trying to stop trans youth from transition by arguing that it's "irreversible." None of them acknowledge that the changes that they'd force trans youth to go through with puberty are *equally difficult and expensive to reverse.*
