I want to hear what every single athlete has to say about the drones. The noise is driving ME nuts. I can’t imagine…

how we got here

It starts with showing up.

Couldn’t get a picture, but drove past yet another small anti-ICE protest in yet another working class neighborhood of Cincinnati. We have the numbers. We just need to do the work.

I’ve said it before: the only thing that explains elected Republicans’ determination to support Trump’s objectively unpopular policies is that they don’t believe they’ll need to win a fair election. Otherwise they’d read the same polls we do and moderate.

They are going to try to steal this election. I know it’s illegal. I know “they can’t just…”. The masses have to stop them. We have to stop them.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump is convicted of child molestation against 2 children He attempted to keep one victim quiet by claiming he would receive $10 million from the Trump administration as restitution for former Jan. 6 defendants and would share the money with the victim in his will 😑🖕

If my 42 years of being human hadn’t taught me this, my 15 years of being a surgeon/ICU doctor most certainly has.

The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

And it’s really not difficult. Like, they are so dumb AND self-serving.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

People who speak like this under oath to our elected Representatives in the People’s House should face actual legal & professional consequences

Did you watch Dawson’s Creek? Today is a great day to ask your PCP about your options for colon cancer screening.

Exactly this! I have spent years trying to explain that the COVID and COVID vaccine disinformation campaigns were an intentional attempt to break trust in institutions and, in turn, to dismantle democracy. I wrote about that in this series of articles: tnicholsmd.medium.com/disinformati...

There are so many threads to pull here but the absolute intellectual bankruptcy of the richest men on the planet is impossible to ignore. It can't just be that they personally got lucky, or leveraged some edge at the right time; they have to be undeniably superior to others at a foundational level.

ICE is running concentration camps. It’s that simple.

Bankruptcy is actually part of the private equity business model.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Yeah, please don’t buy the “we just want to help all the lost puppies” bullshit

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

The “suspected political message” was literally in English on the Jumbotron they are so dumb

Here’s hoping that in a few years all the AI ads look as ridiculous as all the crypto ads from 2023 do… 🤞

Or... Hear me out on this one... We stop having political dynasties.

Honestly, countries should start boycotting the World Cup today!

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

It is hard to overstate how infuriating it is to have the Department of Health and Human Services led by a non-health expert who actively chooses to disseminate disinformation at every opportunity.

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

This is who runs this account

To the woman next to me at the bar googling “speakeasy recommendations in london”, um, ma’am, that’s not how speakeasys work…

There is nothing shocking about class solidarity among the ruling class. They were, in fact, cynical and ruthless about protecting the power structure.

❤️

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

The idea that body cams are supposed to do something is so absurd. The problem isn’t lack of documentation. Literally everyone is recording encounters with ICE. Just pathetic.

This isn’t a season. It’s a hostage situation. I am being unlawfully detained by winter.

every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

this pole has done more to stop ICE than the opposition party

You’d think Leafs fans would grown up after 100 years but here they are still acting like we aren’t just cheering for laundry…

Trump: "NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything." Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

I'll be very interested to watch #residency #matchday in March, especially #internalmedicine, ~50% IMG "Fischer’s internal medicine department employs 135 international medical graduates, almost all his doctors “what do you do if you miss 80-90% of your doctors? You’re done. We couldn’t go a year”

It’s hard to overstate how damaging this will be to public health and medicine. About a quarter of medical residents are from other countries and America has a physician workforce shortage.

The new iOS update took away the option to turn off notifications for unknown numbers for Messaging so now I guess I am back to getting pestered by Mark Kelly

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
