While yall are busy watching more Netflix now that you have cancelled your Disney+ and Hulu account, be sure to watch Ordinary Men. It’s an hour long documentary on Netflix. It is a must watch.

This is going to present a MASSIVE problem to our healthcare system in the immediate present and ongoing future. There are thousands of IMGs living and working as nurses, physicians and APPs as well as in allied healthcare that are here on H1B visas. You think it’s hard to find care now?

Prediction: When Trump dies, Vance will appoint Miller as his VP. The absolute worst Millenials.

I cannot see any Trump cabinet meeting or press conference without seeing this: #IYKYK

Suggestion: A less patchwork and more equitable funding system could/should be part of a Universal Healthcare system of tax-subsidized non-profit national health insurance. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This right here is why I will always and forever beat the drum of local politics! Local politics matters as much if not more in your daily life than what is happening at the federal level (esp as GOP tries to make more things "state's rights"). Yet too many people don't vote or campaign for local.

Please!

Kirk was killed be an extreme right wing Groyper influenced by Nick Fuentes. Dems are doing the WORST JOB conceivable about messaging on this. Most have no idea who Fuentes is or what his followers believe and want. Half are playing into the GOP lionizing of Kirk. The other half are playing

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.   Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.   Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

I am, in fact, dead from drugs right at this very moment!

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

Noah Wyle finally won an Emmy. So well deserved for The Pitt. ER Forever. #medsky

I don't have to wear business casual tomorrow!! I can just wear scrub pants and a t-shirt!!

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

The letter from the person threatening Black students at NYU is extremely disturbing. I’d encourage folks who are not Black to read it and understand what is happening today in addition to the threats against multiple HBCUs. Tw: racist slurs, threats of violence

Something something… Hoisted on his own petard… Literally the hill he wanted to die on… But seriously do feel for his kids. Because the kids are always the senseless and needless victims of gun violence. Every damn time.

After heavy corporate lobbying, RFK Jr.'s new MAHA report takes a hands-off approach to Big Ag and "forever chemicals" — despite their connection to rising cancer rates and drinking water contamination. Tell me how this is supposed to make America healthy again?

Walked past a couple of my classmates in the hospital today (they didn’t see me so I did not stop to say hi), and yall, they looked like doctors. I don’t know when the change occurred but somewhere in the last three years we went from looking like med students to looking like physicians.

At my fave taqueria where I always order in Spanish. But today the gal behind the counter was talking really softly so I said “que?” Twice because couldn’t hear her, and then she switched to English 😭😭😭

As a Latina who worked as a nanny and in housekeeping and food service to help pay for living expenses while in college this is terrifying, heartbreaking and enraging!

🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

I love losing hours of my limited time on a day off when I could be working on things that need done but instead get to have a migraine. I follow my headache plan and it goes away, but it still takes hours and I have so much stuff to do…. 😩

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This is why I take my role as an honorary aunt for my friends with kids so very seriously. It is an honor and a privilege, but also a very real obligation I feel to the future of humanity and the very foundations of community. www.forbes.com/sites/jennif...

Not gonna lie. A bit disappointed that this week has turned out to be both not as rainy nor as cool as earlier forecasts had led me to hope.

Whoop! Got off the waitlist for my ICU requirement! So I can have all my required courses done before residency interviews start and can just do my “for fun” electives in the spring. Excellent news.
