It’s snowing today. I’m off work and there’s enough food on the house to get by. I may stay in my pajamas all day

My distress over what is happening in this country consumes me. Everything I feared would happen, has happened/is happening, except fraudulent elections. That’s next. My anger with my elected representatives worsens daily. Their silence is facilitating all of this.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

“Why are you always here?”- my 4 year old patient #pedsky

These are the people - and the system - separating Americans from affordable #healthcare. I hope the fact that Congress is having this hearing indicates that changes are afoot to right this wrong.

By now we’ve seen enough of the Epstein files to know that the only act egregious enough for our elected representatives to grow spines and do something about him is for him to wear a tan suit

Being on the right side of history is cold comfort. I’m so furious at the Senate and the House for not doing what they know is the right thing

Already at least $1.4B richer since taking office, Trump is now suing the IRS for a jaw-dropping $10B over the leak of his tax returns. As he exploits the presidency for self-enrichment and retribution, millions are still struggling with the soaring cost of living. Priorities.

The PEOPLE, by standing in the streets while at risk of being executed by masked thugs, are showing more courage and fortitude than the craven people we elected to represent us. Shame on them. Shame on all of them.

How long will it take for Congress to get a fucking spine transplant and do what they all know what needs to be done? They all know it’s wrong. All of them.

Apparently, the life expectancy in Minnesota is thirty seven years

Fred Trump had dementia and his family set up a fake office so he could think he was in charge while other people made the decisions. Mentioning this for no particular reason at all. Not even sure what made me think of it.

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

Trump Withdraws U.S. From World Health Organization www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/u... Oh, good 🤦‍♀️

If he lives long enough to try to run for a third term, then pulling Obama out of retirement to run against him is fair game

Trying to renew my NJ medical license and they want proof of cultural competency credits, gives me a link to hhs.gov to do the course. Guess what? “This site can’t be reached”. 🤦

What do you think of my new protest sign?

🤣🤣🤣 I’ve watched this at least 50 times and it always makes me laugh.

Now that the Nobel Peace Prize has been completely devalued for the world’s biggest baby, will anybody even want it going forward?

We are living in the upside down, and Stephen Miller is Vecna

I saw all of this coming. Tried not to be an alarmist but I knew it was going to happen. I have little hope for a legitimate election in November. He will confiscate machines or suppress voting completely

Good Thursday morning, friends! Here's a giggle to start the day! Have a day y'all! #SheShed

What causes these people to be so hateful and heartless? Johnson Rules Out House Vote to Extend Health Insurance Subsidies

Today I realized just how weary I am of parents/families being skeptical of my diagnoses and recommendations. Why do they bother to come see me if they don’t believe what I have to tell them? It’s time to retire. #pedsky #medsky

Nailed. It. This is the kind of man you want leading your country.

I know some people see hope in the November election results and the losing court cases but I can’t get past the fact that nearly half the electorate voted for this shit. We may eventually fix this, but they will still be living among us, hateful and just plain stupid. It’s so disheartening.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Connections Puzzle #906 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 I like this color sequence. I also want to know why the NYT instructions say “Create four groups of four!” with an exclamation point like it’s a big surprise or a command

Randy nails it again

I used to get a lot of stocking stuffers at Target. Now that we aren’t shopping there anymore, where are people getting them?

I solved the 12/01/2025 New York Times Mini Crossword in 0:22! Pretty sure that’s a PR

So my blood pressure was elevated and then I lost 65 pounds and it was normal but now it’s up again and I’m pretty sure that’s because of this administration

On tilt

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

Can someone explain to me why it matters if a pedophile is a Democrat or a Republican? Is the crime somehow different if you vote one way but not another?
