If you’re fired up after the DNC, let’s keep the momentum going! #VetsForHarris #VeteransForHarrisWalz #VetsAgainstTrump

Attacking a fellow veteran’s service is disgraceful and a tired tactic by the right wing. As soon as someone doesn’t agree with them, they attack our service, our honor, or our personal lives.
Our vets from across the country are standing with @Tim_Walz. #VetsForWalz

Today the paperback of my new book, The Boleyn Heresy, was meant to release on @AmazonKDP. However, we have received an email saying they will not publish it is "misleading." What does that even mean? Why does Amazon determine what "truth" is?
Women silenced again??!

Marine veteran Kate Hendricks Thomas' nurse practitioner had recommended she get a mammogram, “based on where you’ve been stationed.” She not only had one type of cancer — she had three.

A letter in support of CPMs & the credential, following recent statements by the president of MANA calling into question the credentialling of midwives, autonomy for community midwives, & advocating for physician oversight of midwives.

Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery is now accredited by MEAC. It took ALL day to realize that it was real. That my direct-entry midwifery school is the 1st & ONLY Black-owned, nationally-accredited private midwifery training school in the USA! instagram.com/p/CCcqGE9ggaq/…

Since discovering an imposter Facebook page made to look like my employer, @VVAmerica, I’ve spent the last two years tracking foreign trolls who target troops and veterans online. Today my report went live. @craigtimberg covers one explosive part here: washingtonpost.com/technolog…

When will Midwives be acknowledged and integrated in the US? This is not a profession that serves and saves lives only in low and middle income countries? The US is worst of all high income countries in maternal outcomes, with all others having integrated midwifery care.
When?
Imtiaz Kamal trained millions of midwives & has played a big part in decreasing Pakistan's maternal mortality rate over the past 20 years, from 400 mothers out of 100,000 dying from childbirth down to 178 per 100,000 today. READ: fal.cn/33Nii #WIMMonth #WomenInMedicine

A1. Systemic injustice; a history of targeted incrimination of birthworkers of color; racist gatekeepers; excess barriers for practice ie: processes for certification and/or licensure, operational difficulties keeping a business open under current climate #MaternalJustice
