…it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale…When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe…But that is not what great ships are built for. -Pinkola Estes #indivisible #peds

Ballot drop boxes are the best! They're secure, and ballots get collected from them on the regular. Using a drop box also avoids making your ballot travel through the US Mail, which is the slowest method and can cause problems if your ballot winds up postmarked after the Election Day deadline.

I saw post asking what to call parents who refuse vaccines. The word you want is “free loader”: relying on others to vaccinate and take a tiny risk while you take none. This works until the system collapses under the free load. I used this rarely after long discussions. It worked. #pedsky #measles

I practiced in a rural community. I saw up close devastation of vaccine preventable illness. Some before vaccine introduced, some after: HIB& pneumococcal meningitis, measles pan-encephalitis, chickenpox ataxia, etc #vaccinate #AAP guidelines #pedsky www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Today 3000 people of San Francisco created the massive Human Banner on the Beach that you see below (as photographed from a drone above). Each of those letters is 100's of people working for 1 cause. Together we can save the country!

“PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.” -Matt Moberg, Timberwolves Champlain Read all of it… #pedsky #redwingsnowstorm #standwithMN

I spent a little over 2 years after retiring from Peds practice as senior AmeriCorps Volunteer in MN preschool. This woman is speaking truth. @indivisiblesf.bsky.social #pedsky #redwingsnowstorm

No matter why this person was subdued (and I doubt there was a good reason), this is torture. Demonstrates complete lack of ethical law enforcement. That’s why I support eliminating ICE. No funding!

Me too!

“IT WAS MURDER” Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026) 👏👏 (📸 Erik Castro)

The visual positive impact of vaccines is startling. In my early career, I asked elderly friends & relatives about childhood disease. Almost everyone had lost a sibling-including my Dad’s brother - likely RSV/Whooping Cough at age 2 months. #removeRFKJr graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...

One among many: 64 yo with 3 chronic well managed dx: ACA health care premium doubles in 26 in spite of switch to lower tier plan. Savings will cover til start Medicare so I’m lucky minority. #Medicareforall @kffhealthnews.org @indivisible.org

Best idea I’ve heard to deal with bad faith actors in #Republicanshutdown 1 month continuing resolution pledging vote to support each month provided administration renews ACA subsidies, does not impound/refuse to pay out federal dollars already promised @IndivisbleSF @Indivisible

Mission District , San Francisco. I’m going to keep showing up.

These are my people in rural Goodhue County, MN. Resistance is everywhere!

I’m trying to hold on to hope of a better world, but my daughter telling me she heard the gunfire from the mass school shooting in her MPLS neighborhood this morning almost undid me. Please don’t offer thoughts/prayers. We need to fight the fascists AND make gun sellers liable for this. #pedsky

The TX campers deaths and injuries are senseless and tragic…and so are the school shootings that happen regularly. We will debate if the campers deaths was preventable, but we know that school shootings are preventable with gun sense laws. #thoughtsprayers

This makes me feel hope. A strong voice for children and families is what we need now.

I take public transit multiple times a week in SF. It is not dirty or scary. It’s clean and efficient and the app works great. Do I sometimes see folks who are struggling? Yes I do. Am I in a minority racial/ethnic group on the bus or train? Usually, and that’s ok. #SFmuni

“The whole ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ the focus on taking food color dyes out of cereal? How about we take E. coli out of our lettuce, so it doesn’t kill our kids?” said sick kid’s Dad 💔 😢 We need functional #CDC #FDA #NIH #pedsky #redwingsnowstorm www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Anyone who has watched an infant struggle to breathe and felt helpless (like me - rural pediatrician) is or should be enraged at this silencing and harm. #pedsky #redwingsnowstorm

Remember those explainers of exponential growth of highly contagious COVID in unvaccinated populations? That prompted the shutdown? Measles is much more contagious.

Only 62%! I can’t imagine the internal thought processes of that 38%

It’s hard to keep up with all the damage to trusted #NIH #CDC. I saw the benefits when #BackToSleep began in my own practice: fewer dead babies. Conflicting messages reach parents about sleep through marketing unsafe products and methods. #StandUp www.healthychildren.org/English/ages...

I’m seeing posts that AmeriCorps is being ended immediately. As a former AmeriCorps member who served in preschool, and later with Minneapolis Public Health, I am so very sad…and angry. #resist #SMIF #theKidsSentMe

Get your health advice and vaccine information from trusted healthcare professionals and trusted alternative sources: 1. www.who.int 2. www.gov.uk/government/o... 3. www.canada.ca/en/public-he... 4. www.ecdc.europa.eu/en www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10% Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR. For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made. I think it’s worth it.

This visual loss is bone chilling to a retired frontline rural practice general pediatrician. I relied on CDC for reliable information to treat patients for conditions rarely seen. Data that we all paid for… #redwingsnowstorm #pedsky 🧪

www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-... Be informed, be sure every elected position who represents you knows this funding is in danger. #redwingsnowstorm

As a pediatrician, grandmother, and citizen: This is outrageous and dangerous. Killer infectious diseases known and unknown are waiting for our most vulnerable, and we will not know the danger is here until too late. 😥 #redwingsnowstorm

Hello #redwingsnowstorm Let’s do this!

Entering a new year means making commitments to a better future. One of the simplest yet most impactful resolutions? Storing firearms securely to protect your family and others.
