Love it. Even if cheesy – at Milwaukee, WI

Today, I provided testimony at a WI DNR meeting in support of changing the name of a lake. The current name is a slur against Indigenous women. It is derogatory & dehumanizing. Sadly, there were people opposed to the name change. But great news: Squ** Lake will become Amber Lake.
That’s cool – at Milwaukee, WI

Once you accept that climate change is making large parts of the U.S. nearly uninhabitable, the future looks like this: With time, the bottom half of the country grows inhospitable, dangerous + hot. Those who stay are disproportionately poor and elderly. propub.li/3cQWiV4

Shameful!! Refusing to expand BadgerCare is also immoral. tinyurl.com/yevx74vt
I hope UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital recognizes that we would be in a much different place if we didn't have the dedicated nursing staff to get us through this public health crisis. That recognition should be reflected in a fair contract.

As Wisconsin continues to bounce back from this pandemic, we must honor the sacrifices our frontline workers made this past year, and I encourage UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital to negotiate a fair agreement that ensures our nurses are valued and respected for their work.

Meriter nurses and our hospital and frontline workers have gone above and beyond during this pandemic, even at great personal sacrifice, and they should have a say in their workplace to keep doing what they do best—caring for patients in need.

A violent insurrection against our Democracy is not showing you "love this country" and when a Capitol police officer is killed and over 140 are injured that is not showing you "truly respect law enforcement." That’s why over 300 rioters have been charged with breaking the law.

Implementation of a national safety program that helps US hospitals establish #antibiotic stewardship programs and improve prescribing was associated with reduced antibiotic use and fewer hospital-onset C.diff infections, @cvdall reports for @CIDRAP. ow.ly/Dkpj50DNPFw
