One of your first votes in Congress was to amplify a known lie about our nation’s free elections that incited a riot that killed a Capitol Police officer.
There’s no crawling back from that with a hashtag. You brought shame to our delegation and the district you represent.
Proud to #BackTheBlue from the halls of Congress on #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay

New Mich. hospital data: Of people admitted with COVID, 70% were alive and home 60 days later.
Of those who'd been working, 40% either lost their job or were still too sick to work.
It's not just the deaths; it's the health and economic damage.

Hospice of Michigan has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the Michigan Health Endowment Fund and will participate in a study to ultimately reduce caregiver burnout in the hospice and palliative care industry. ow.ly/z1yU50xijSo #caregiving #hospice
Another insightful, inspirational NODA class filled with authenticity, wisdom, and compassion. A deep bow of gratitude to all of the NODA volunteers, staff, patients and families that make this service possible. Over 120 persons have now completed this course in 2019. Awesome! – at Detroit, MI
Amazingly, I was able to exert some self-control and buy only 1 book at #asbh19, however, this is one volume in which I’m likely to read/reference every chapter! – at Pittsburgh, PA
Lots of interesting sessions on issues related to suicide. Disappointed to hear some speakers use problematic language (ie commit, complete, success/failure). Many leading orgs have had language guidelines out for a while. Language matters. speakingofsuicide.com/2017/0… #asbh19 – at Pittsburgh, PA
Framing/narrative construction is important and has consequences. Questions themselves are often value-laden and can have serious implications. How often do we stop to consider if the question itself is ethical? #asbh19 – at Pittsburgh, PA
@CMBioethics #PEAG #asbh19 Nancy berlinger shifts the framework. Instead of “how do we solve this crisis” think about “how do we care for these people.”
Incredibly interesting and fun talk on ethical and legal questions on biological waste. Heard about a company called Skulls Unlimited that has preserved amputated limbs. And if you’re looking for that perfect holiday gift, look no further... skullsunlimited.com/products… #ASBH19 – at Pittsburgh, PA
Hey Friends!
I’ll be putting together a webinar next week for our Ethics department on the topic of “dignity”. I already plan on ref. Chochinov, D. Hicks, and @andyhyho
Anyone else’s work I should look at? @PeiGrant? @ThaddeusPope? @msubioethics?
@AvaniPrabhakar2?

When someone from an underrepresented group is willing to talk about their experiences, we need to realize that it is not us helping them by listening, but rather them helping us by sharing.

America does not suffer from scarcity, America suffers from greed. By asking Wall Street to pay a small financial transaction tax, we can cancel all $1.6 trillion of student loan debt over a period of ten years. #cancelstudentdebt
