stop what you’re doing and read this

When the Trump administration cut off food aid to one of the world’s largest refugee camps, it left hundreds of thousands of people to starve. This is the story of one mother’s daily battle to keep her three young sons alive. From our “The End of Aid” series, a 2026 Pulitzer finalist:

The thing about dementia? A total lack of filter will keep manifesting.

Serious question: Should the Surgeon General be someone who never finished residency, doesn’t hold an active medical license, built a career as a wellness influencer, has supplement ties, and has written about using psilocybin (magic mushrooms)? And this is supposed to be America’s “top doctor”? 1/

The president of the United States, folks.😕 Surely all who condemned the Charlie Kirk reaction will condemn Trump for this. Right? (cc: @MarshaBlackburn ) Our kids are watching.

800 000 is all of the the old city of Toronto driven from their homes. (Blue on map)

Lol

What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar Daily

Does that seem fair to you?

Yikes. Bari Weiss strikes again. Nothing to see here, folks! www.mediaite.com/media/news/c...

This is true. 🧪

No meeting/no plan and no safety for the patients still stuck in our "death zones." To those who call me partisan: This isn't about team jerseys... it’s about competence. When docs beg for help and govt won’t even sit at the table... Does that seem like "Good Govt" to you? 4/4

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

“… our ID fellows alone receive an average of 4.1 chat messages per patient, every day. With 15–20 patients, that’s easily 60–80 interruptions daily … a recent study showed that… 99% were non-urgent and 66% were non-actionable.”

Good time to remind everyone that NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, a right-wing economist, has made it a personal goal to make sure lockdowns can never return. Because in his mind, there is nothing that could ever justify shutting down the economy. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Jay Bhattacharya wearing the face tats of a convicted rapist for his “eat more veggies” campaign. V normal.

Let’s remember to thank all the EBM gurus and “medical conservatives” who elevated MAHA to power. Cancelled RCTs is their legacy.

Another Bari Weiss MAGA infomercial.

Very happy to share this Feb commentary in @lancetgastrohep.bsky.social co-authored w @mayoclinic.org #IBD Dr. Edward V. Loftus Jr. - making our case for an urgent repositioning of #microscopiccolitis under the "true" #IBD umbrella - long overdue for this disease. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is absolutely worth a read if you missed it the first time.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

REP. BALINT: “This is not a game, Secretary!” BONDI: “I’m Attorney General.” REP. BALINT: “My apologies. I couldn’t tell.” 🔥

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.” “No,” her husband said. I urge you to read this today.

Blame them

Just lovely - in this weekend's @theglobeandmail.com. Makes me think of a term one of my wise friends and teachers used to talk about - bi-directional healing. We most definitely get something out of those extra efforts too. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution. - Thomas Jefferson

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.” www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-...

What a shame, how terrible for them.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

During a bipartisan visit to Denmark, Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski write in a guest essay, “we heard from Greenlanders who can’t sleep, and who told us that their children are crying amid fear of invasion — not from China or Russia, but from the United States.”

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”
