To be fair, I think a lot of people would struggle to stay awake listening to RFK Jr drone on about anything

I’m tired of the rhetoric supporting “don’t discuss politics”. It does matter. Our politics reflects our values. Our politics determine who lives in freedom and who stays chained. If people had heeded the taboo we have self imposed of “never discuss politics at the dinner table or with friends”

An organization that wasted billions on fancy buildings doing work that made no difference instead of helping the poor, the sick, the needy. An organization that hoardes hundreds of billions like a dragon instead of again, helping the poor and needy. I do not buy his premise.

Uh idk if it’s not true you perpetuated a lot of discrimination against LGBT folks that in some cases led to suicide, ruined families, isolated individuals. Plus participated and funded an organization that protected and continues to protect sexual predators.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

I don’t understand what visible from space means anymore. Does it mean visible to the naked eye? From what distance from earth? Does satellite imagery count? My car is technically visible from space on satellite maps but it’s so small that really does not mean anything

It’s why medical boards sometimes don’t properly hold physicians accountable, it’s why churches often don’t hold abusers in the priesthood accountable, and it’s why professors and corporate leaders speak out why their own are punished. At the end of the day, it’s not about ideology, it’s about class

Elites protect elites, even if ideologically they are opposed. People in positions of power fear when others with power are punished, because they see potential for themselves to be punished.

NATO has all but guaranteed Trump will pull the US out of the alliance. He see's appeasement like this as an invitation to go further.

Apologetics 2.0: inoculation is def going to work guys #mormon #mormonism #exmo

@kenwhite.bsky.social if I see ICE at the airport can I calmly tell them to go fuck themselves for being Trump’s little fascist police?

I know a family member who was very concerned about climate change and drought who relocated to the Utah valley area specifically because they felt it would be less likely to be affected. Which made no sense to me when it was a desert with little water in the first place.

Gospel Topics essay on polygamy is absolutely ridiculous the more you think about it. When I first read it 10+ years ago it didn’t bother me because I didn’t think about it. It patched a hole and I moved on without digging deeper. #mormon #exmo #lds

Don’t worry it’s just Mike Lee’s privateers

If white supremacists could read they’d be very upset

Is it bad that 1.5 years into my emergency medicine residency I am fundamentally unhappy at work. I have to force myself to pick up the next patient. I find my empathy increasingly gone. I routinely go entire shifts without eating, drinking or using the restroom to try to see more patients.

@pulmcrit.bsky.social have you ever heard of the forward/backward/external pressure approach to shock? I’m watching a critical care lecture from Dr. Sara Crager an EM/CC doc and it’s an interesting concept, but complicated and I am very dumb. Do you ever use it as a model?

Also “we may not find out exactly what is going on but we are going to make sure nothing life-threatening is going on”

Can foley’s cause bladder spasms? And is there a role for Vesicare or other antimiscarinics? I had a patient I admitted post op for ORIF with suprapubic spasms and urethral tip foley pain and no amount of dilaudid, urojet or anything could touch it.

“dammit” Tied with “Shit” Tied with “What’s bothering you the most right now?” The third one is what people hear, the first two are what I mutter under my breath #EMsky #EM #medicine #Medsky

Facebook post from a guy I used to go to church with. A lawyer no less. One hell of a strawman. His brain has been absolutely cooked on right wing media. I responded but honestly I don’t think he’s posting in good faith and and additional responses will go nowhere with him. #ice #icesympathizers

I think I need to take a break for a bit, between the 28 hr call shifts at the hospital on SICU and the constant authoritarian violence being perpetrated by Trump, Miller and ICE, I’m tapped out

just choked on my beverage

When you’re post-call or have a day off on a rotation where you do 28 hr shifts 😭 #medsky #emsky SICU is killing me right now

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Abuser language. Victim blaming. Gaslighting. Greg Bovino deserves to hang for betraying American democracy (after a fair trial of course) If we let fascists live at it’s at our own peril, of both life and freedom.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

I hope all the people who spent the last few days saying there is nothing dems can do and a shutdown is useless so we need to accept the bipartisan DHS funding bill eat shit.

Fucking murderers. Shot in the back 10 times. Shot repeatedly after he was already dead. Soulless ghouls.

This is ok tho

These monsters are sick.

God damn it why can’t we have nice things

Tobias Bencosme, American Fascist

This entire thread is excellent historical perspective RE: immigration agencies and tactics

But he knows he has come too far. He sold his soul to Joe and Eileen Bailey. There’s nothing he can do. So he takes a deep breath, stares into his eyes and screams “KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES” until he passes out on the bathroom floor. It’s the only thing that quiets his conscience at night.

Schumer gets up in the middle of the night and walks to the bathroom mirror. He couldn’t sleep. He looks at himself, his wrinkled face, his bloodshot eyes. “Am I doing the right thing?” He wonders. “Maybe tyranny isn’t a distraction”

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

COOKIE RESCINDED JEFFRIES YOU BASTARD bsky.app/profile/dday...

Dem leaders, once again proving they are Lucy with the football and we are Charlie Brown. bsky.app/profile/dday...

I swear to god any democrat who votes for this funding bill should be primaried out of existence. At this point democrats are actively consenting to the Trump administrations authoritarian takeover.

@dorismatsui.bsky.social what is your position on the funding deal that Sen. Patty Murray just announced? That continues to fund ICE/DHS even as they perpetrate authoritarian violence, murder and kill citizens and immigrants alike?

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov What’s your position on this funding bill that continues to fund ICE and DHS?

DEFUND ANS DISMANTLE ICE, CBP and DHS

I Never consistently called my congressional rep or senators before but am now doing so every week thanks to 5calls.org making it easy to find my elected officials numbers and helpful scripts for important issues. Not sure if it makes a difference it it’s all I can do right now.
