It can be hard to find the right words to say to a friend whose loved one has died. Experts share the dos and don'ts of expressing condolences.

Instead of backing its own workers, Kaiser is bolstering Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda by terminating DACA recipients who are waiting for the federal government to renew their employment documents. 😡 Kaiser RNs will rally Monday to protect DACA nurses! https://bit.ly/3P6oNFk

friendly reminder that the burnt cigarette butt in charge of our health care has: 1. ended research funding and drug/vaccine jobs in the fda 2. is in charge of the center of disease control 3. and in april they ended the vessel sanitation teams responsible for ensuring infection control on cruises!

David is correctly identifying the official here, but Trump himself had no clue what her name was or what her position was, saying she was "I guess the prime minister" Believe it or not, but we used to expect presidents to know these things.

The thing the AI sycophants never seem to comprehend when they argue with people about the utility of AI tools is that the people they argue with HAVE used them in our respective fields, in which we are the experts, and are reporting their failings and limitations from firsthand experience.

Starbucks is “disappointed” 😪

Everyone deserves care. Everyone deserves to feel appreciated at work. Unions help make that possible.

A lot of people work jobs they don’t love just for healthcare. If companies, workplaces etc. make healthcare premiums cost prohibitive, people will leave those jobs.

FDA and CDC as far as I'm aware has never determined any death was caused by the mRNA Covid vaccines. (There were some causally linked to JNJ & swift action was taken). Am I missing something? Otherwise seems irresponsible statement for FDA leader to now have made twice in last week or so on TV.

I’m begging you to get rid of your Ring Cam/ Alexa.

It’s cool to take things seriously and be thoughtful.

None of the water Trump ordered released is anywhere near Los Angeles. It was actually water being reserved for Central Valley farmers, whose fields are now at risk of flooding. This cohort overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

Every week, I check the CDC's Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report. This week for the first time in its 60 years it was not published on schedule. American healthcare workers all over the country are less informed about health crises that affect their patients. CDC led reports matter a 🧵

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...
