Morris IL showed up for NoKings! www.facebook.com/share/v/1H5G...

Great day today in our rural town! Three generations of my family standing together! People showed up! Joyful, peaceful, proud to be Americans with a voice and exercise our right to free speech! #nokings #resist

Seriously??!! So many lives will be lost to preventable diseases. Though I will never set foot in the state of FL again, i am sure Floridians will travel and but all of us at risk. #vaccinessavelives www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/h...

This is usually my crafting table, but this week it is my learning table for Cardiology 🫀 Board Review. 2 days down, 4 to go and then a year of studying for my (yikes!) 2nd 10 yr recert! Yep, I’m that old, 20 years in practice!! #girldoc #cardiodoc #lovemyjob

I’m certain he was being funny, one of the lecturers in my review course today said, “If you’re getting CPR for your PE, you’re unstable.” This made me giggle so much😂🤷🏻‍♀️. #girldoc #cardiodoc #alwayslearning

Physicians need to take note. We are continually moving backwards with healthcare, and it’s only going to get worse. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

This is a travesty. The USPSTF helps guide how and when we screen for diseases such as cardiovascular disease and many cancers. Why do this? To keep us sick and stupid. #resist #girldoc Medical group urges Kennedy not to fire US care task force - www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Another travesty of the chrrent administration. So much good information has come from this study. #wearenotok www.cnn.com/2025/07/01/h...

Staying away from the news and relaxing and crafting. So worth it, and much needed!

Thank you Canada!

I work in a rural hospital, which is quickly becoming somewhat critical access due to closure of other small hospitals nearby. The “Big Beautiful Bill” will devastate our community and make healthcare harder to access for so many. But they want us sick and stupid. #resist #girldoc

Folks in rural areas: The Big Beautiful Bill will close your local hospitals after the Medicaid cuts take effect. Tell your senators your community needs them to stay open!

When you come to see me, or I go to see you in hospital, I don’t see anything other than someone who is sick, often scared, and needs my help. And to the best and fullest of my abilities I will help you. The strength of a society is in its ability to help its weakest members. #resist #girldoc

And it’s happening again. As a country, and (former) world leader, we are better than this! “…liberty and justice for ALL.” That means ALL. #resist

It’s June 14. Happy President Obama Day! #PresidentObamaDay #NoKings #ThoseWereTheDays #Obama

I don’t knit, but I crochet and needlepoint, I think that will suffice! #resist #nokings

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

Happy #ObamaDay ! See you soon on the streets America 🇺🇸

Words of advice for my military brethren currently serving.

Today needs some #hope in the face of the horrific things happening to democracy. Using my hands and creative side to calm my fears and help me overcome the negativity bias implicit in our brains. #resist

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Please read. And then read again. Wise words from one of the good ones…Obama is RIGHT. It is up to us. We cannot afford to be complacent or complicit anymore. Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA
