I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Big win for the rights of those who experience Miscarraige and Pregnancy Loss.

Labour Minister confirms that workers who suffer pregnancy loss will be entitled to bereavement leave through a change in law. ❀️🌈

This is really excellent news. Both parents suffer when a miscarriage occurs. So important to acknowledge this particular grieving which can feel intensely devastating.

Like many, I know the difference time to grieve miscarriage will make.

This change in law, accepted by the Govt, has been hard fought for by campaigners and follows an amendment from the women & equalities committee.

Big win for the rights of people who experience the heartbreak of miscarriage.

I Was Kamala Harris’ Videographer. I Wish I Could Show You What I’ve Seen. She completely changed me.

"Vice President Harris never called a little girl cute or commented on her outfit; instead, she'd say, 'You look like the smartest person in your class.' The vice president would say, 'Let me hear you say, 'I am a leader,'' and even the youngest girls would say it back." slate.com/news-and-pol...

We're having a discussion about which interesting animal behaviour would be terrifying on a different species. The rules are

a) it can't be an immediate danger to you
b) it has to be so scary you would stop filming and leave.

Feel free to play along. The current winner is vulture murmuration.

This was a great educational conference about migraine & other headaches. A delight to be running workshops as part of the day.
