#PublicHealth is political. Health professionals must stand with #NNU largest nurses union and call for the abolition of ICE because it is causing harm to communities, including suffering of individuals and death. Like any other public health threat, we must stand up and speak out. #AbolishICE
#ICE is a #publichealth threat and @NationalNursesUnited demands abolition of ICE after the #AlexPretti killing in #Minneapolis. #PublicHealth is political.

94% of Americans believe that leadership in #Venezuela should be decided by Venezuelans. #Trump and #StephenMiller are in the other 6%. Let that sink in #GOP.
#HappyNewYear! #ZohranMamdani was sworn in as mayor of NYC today, an inspiration and, perhaps, the beginning of major change in the country. We need a big pivot: an America that is rid of #corruption, insanity and blatant #injustice. Let’s hope and act for this in 2026! #Trump #Oligarchy

Joshua Aaron, Iceblock app creator, is right in his determination to fight back. He’s doing the right thing. Apple caved and removed the Iceblock app after Pam Bondi threatened Apple and Joshua. Google caved over an app or two BEFORE any threat. Caving to an authoritarian regime is pathetic. #Trump

Beth Rivin MD MPH@bethrivin.bsky.social · last yr.The dystopian world where women are viewed as baby incubators without the rights to decide if and when to be pregnant is the Trump Administration’s agenda. It’s being worked out now with policies and incentives for women to have more babies…….this is all in line with right wing authoritarianism.
