Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

As A Christian, I remind you that Jesus was a gun-loving nationalist who opposed abortion, immigration, labor unions, gay rights & Communists.
Oh wait; did I say Jesus?
Sorry, I meant Hitler.
Jesus did none of that.
That was all Hitler’s agenda.

This is why Democrats are losing progressives and young people. The old establishment refuses to do what is necessary to save the country.

To any Democrat saying we shouldn’t expand the court: If Republicans were in our position, they wouldn’t wait A MINUTE to change the structure of the court.
They literally already did when McConnell denied Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland.
Gloves off. Fuck this.

For the moments when we DO insist on elections, we must be PRECISE with what we need and we will do with that power:
How many seats does the party need to Codify Roe?
Dems must SAY THAT. Not just “go vote” or “give us $6 to win.” That is demoralizing, losing, unfocused nonsense

If a pro-life politician crowing about today’s decision ever paid for your abortion and it feels like the right time to talk about it, my email is [email protected]

So let’s wake up everybody! What’s good Democrats! If you don’t like what I’ve laid out here, then please present YOUR plan instead of little “why we can’t” lists!!
Let’s cut the handwringing and get moving! Chop chop! No more showtunes till November unless it’s for GOTV!!

Dem leaders must tell voters the plan:
What’s the *actual* need? Which specific seats are we focused on? WHAT votes do we need & WHERE (what states + races?)
And, what’s the return? What is Biden/Congress ACTUALLY willing+able to do at 52/60 seats?
Be honest. Details motivate

Refresher on what a “pro-life” agenda ACTUALLY looks like:
- gun safety laws
- taking action on climate change
- protecting LGBT rights
- healthcare for all
- expanding pre-natal care
- expanding mental healthcare
- expanding childcare
- universal preschool
- free school meals

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Ginni Thomas sent messages to the White House about a plan to get the Supreme Court to overturn the election.
Clarence Thomas voted to keep White House messages about the insurrection secret.
And you think a leaked draft opinion is the ethics crisis facing the Supreme Court?

Do the states with extremely restrictive abortion laws have accompanying laws requiring fathers to financially support pre & post natal care?

As part of our Radiology Global Health Leadership track and Botswana-UPENN partnership, Drs. Abass Noor and Luis Goity participated in reading studies, performed ultrasound guided procedures, and advocated for a nationwide PACS, among other activities!

This is the most vulnerable piece I've ever written, sharing the details of my traumatic fellowship experience.
I feared its consequences, but I have a story worth telling & I hope my vulnerability can help others and promote culture change for trainees.
