The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

As a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist, here are a list of exposures with conclusive evidence for adverse fetal & childhood outcomes: Alcohol Tobacco Cannabis Maternal suicide Maternal homicide Viruses (CMV, influenza, COVID, HIV, HepB&C) Bacteria (syphilis, listeria) Parasites (toxo)

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Woo-hoo!!! A win for the UCLA research community! A win for science! A win for sanity! calmatters.org/education/20...

Please help spread the word: Davidson College’s Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies is hiring a tenure-track assistant professor. The specialization is open, but we are hoping for candidates who add to, rather than replicate, existing strengths in teaching and research among our GSS faculty.

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration. He did not get recognition from political leaders or even much news coverage

Checking in from #PWIMS2025 for Day 2 - missing my friends @docwithbowtie.bsky.social and @etsshow.bsky.social - but excited for a great day focused on leadership I get my chance to teach at 3pm in the Georgian Room on how #DEI principles can be embedded in leadership practices 😀

The Hepatitis B vaccine, given at birth, is done so for a very clear medical reason: to protect babies from exposure to a virus that can cause devastating chronic liver disease. Screening first was tried years ago and didn’t work - it’s why we vaccinate, so we don’t miss anyone.

I’m a seasoned Intensivist, yet it took me⌛️to realize I needed more #POCUS skills than 💉🪡& 🫀 As a PGY17 (❗️) #POCUS fellow, I learned just how much ultrasound can add to my toolkit 🫁🦵 It’s never too late to learn a new skill, start w the basics, and build from there! ⬇️ @pocusfocused1.bsky.social

Confidence peaks during training, then drops due to information overload, lack of mentorship, and equipment limitations. We've partnered with Dr. Cristin Mount to create a Hospitalist POCUS course that actually works. What's your experience with this gap? @cmount.bsky.social

Love this - when our kids were younger and about to sneeze or cough, we’d yell “arm pocket!!” (elbow). They’re good at that now - working on “wipe your nose on a tissue and not the couch!” ☹️

Oh wow! We used to live right around the corner from Sligo Creek Park on Colesville Rd - this is insane!!! Hope everyone stays dry 😳

A gentle reminder that the VA getting rid of 30,000 people instead of 80,000 people isn’t a win.

Judge Reyes is asking if the DoD cited a Beyonce album in their anti-trans policy, would the attorney demand she ignore common sense and just listen to the album. DoJ attorney has no idea how to respond.

1/My daughter goes to a DC public charter school. Every child in my neighborhood of public servants and academics goes to DCPS. If this 20%, 1bil cut to DCs budget passed the senate (WHICH IS 75% FUNDED BY DC TAX DOLLARS) passes the Senate, our schools, sanitation, clean water will be decimated

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

The DOE largely support programs for children with disabilities. Eliminating half the staff will directly impact access to education for children with disabilities. This is barbarism.

More of this!

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

Someone in the crowd started an anti-trans rant at the Markey town hall and was immediately swarmed by a bunch of older lib women who shouted her down and chased her out, like a bunch of crows chasing away a predator.

Good night Bluesky! Sinclair Inlet, Olympic Mountains, Bremerton, Washington

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

I like the idea of an anti-acknowledgments section…

FOUR PHYSICIANS - people who graduated medical school and practiced clinical medicine - voted to confirm him in the US Senate. They are all republicans (unsurprisingly). Their oaths to patients and the medical ethics they swore to uphold mean nothing when compared to their fealty to their king.

I watched a video today by Sec #DougCollins about the #VAcuts planned. From a quick search there is evidence that the #VA is doing better than 2019. Not sure how cutting around 80,000 jobs to get back to 2019 numbers is going to continue that. It probably won't. #veterans news.va.gov/press-room/v...

The VA has consistently been a more efficient steward of tax dollars in the provision of medical care. When Veterans receive care outside the VA, its costs more. In case you actually care about efficiency.

Tanking a 10+ year gaining economy in only 6 weeks has to be a record for any President

Those of you in science who are starting to noodle on how to organize: The Good Trouble Coalition in Indiana (@goodtroublein.bsky.social) did this in 2022 and have a blueprint for you here: jha.scholasticahq.com/article/125183

The bottom line is this: You can generally speak as an individual faculty member- we have academic freedom Follow your institution's policy But please speak out when compelled If we are all silent, we all lose OR Silence will save no one fin/

We are nurses and scientists, park rangers and janitors. We didn’t ask to fight for your Social Security, Medicare, disaster response, and national parks—but Trump and Musk forced this fight. Now, they’ve activated a movement, and we’re ready.

Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring). Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

As requested by a third grader in a letter to my office: Happy Third Graders Day, Minnesota!

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

Yeah it's hard to argue that Moore wasn't a good pick to have the name attached to him. Besides what you said, he served at the base, is buried there, fought in Korea and Vietnam, fought in the Battle of la Drang, and co-authored We Were Soldiers Once... And Young which was adapted into a film.

So, uh, Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, for whom Fort Benning was renamed in 2023, also had a Distinguished Service Cross. And a Purple Heart. And three Bronze Stars for valor. This is just a little trick to keep your Confederate sympathizers happy.

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

“Russia Ukraine is not a proxy for whether you like Trump or not, Russia is our enemy, and paid the Taliban bounties to kill American soldiers”

“Yeah, we are isolated sometimes.” “Not sometime. ALL the time. Even together you alone, he alone, she alone. I don’t see this get better.” “So you think we’re screwed?” “No. I think the people wins. But bad always win first. Courage take time. Cruel is fast. Strength take time. Weak is easy.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This isn't shocking. Parents find it unbearable to imagine that they've allowed entirely preventible harm to befall their children because they were taken in by charlatans. Stop acting like they're inhuman monsters.

Good read with linked references for anyone who cares for Catholic people at the end of life - the Church is more in line with the goals of palliative and hospice care than many people know (btw, glad that Pope Francis is getting time off NIPPV!)

"Either way, it’s as if Franklin Delano Roosevelt had showered slurs on Winston Churchill during the Blitz and praised Adolf Hitler" -- The Philadelphia Inquirer's great foreign-affairs columnist Trudy Rubin, on what the hell just happened here www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
