AMAZING: Live on Fox News, an angry mom at the Nashville School Shooting Press Conference, steps in front of the mic and gives an incredible speech.

Meanwhile Fox News is caught off guard and panics, trying to not show her on air. I'm sure the gun lobby and NRA aren't too happy.

The woman, named Ashbey Beasley
@CampBeasleywood
, was a Highland Park, Illinois shooting survivor, and said the following:

“Aren’t you guys tired of covering this? Aren’t you guys tired of being here and having to cover all these mass shootings? How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them? "These mass shootings will continue to happen until our lawmakers step up and pass gun safety legislation.”

Thank you!!

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S.

What’s the diagnosis?

Cancer continues to threaten millions of lives

But to witness a stage IV patient enter remission, having received not a drop of chemotherapy but rather immunotherapy, is a near-miracle I didn’t foresee when my career began

Not all tears in an oncology clinic are shed in sadness

A resident and a fellow died by suicide this week.

We must do a better job caring for our medical trainees as human beings. We must protect their mental health. We must improve the working conditions for all trainees.

cw: pregnancy loss

I live in Alabama, a state with a total abortion ban, and was so overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant last month. I’ve been doing everything right. Stopped caffeine, took my prenatal vitamins, followed every rec. But I started bleeding on Tuesday.🧵

Clinicians don’t need more training on how to be resilient. They are already highly resilient. Instead, they need more support. More advocacy. More people seeing them as whole human beings.

I have made the incredibly difficult decision to take 3 months away from work for my own health.

Unfortunately, being a doctor does not always allow the time and space for being human.

Researchers studied the impact of meetings on our brains.

This is fascinating…

Wow. After Republicans spent every waking hour over the last week blaming Biden for no baby formula, only 12 Republicans voted YES on $28M for baby formula.

192 Republicans voted NO.😳

Making babies starve is apparently “pro life” now. Horrific.

Please listen to @RepLucyMcBath as she speaks for so many women who have had miscarriages and stillbirths—tragic losses the right wing seeks to criminalize.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Rep. Lucy McBath: "After which failed pregnancy should I have been imprisoned? ... would you have put me behind bars after my stillbirth, after I was forced to carry a dead fetus for weeks, after asking God if I was ever going to be able to raise a child?"

I wish I had met some people a little earlier, some people a little later, and some never at all.

The reality in 🇳🇴:
- Health care is a right
- College is tuition-free
- Guaranteed 28 days of paid vacation
- One year of fully paid parental leave

A government that looks out for the needs of its people — not such a radical idea.
