As a child psychiatrist, this makes SO MUCH SENSE.

I was taught phonics and I LOVE reading.

Conceptually, I’ve seen the result of three-cueing with kids; in a world where visual has become king, we’re handicapping our future leaders.

🤯

Yup. There’s a pattern.

Why am I aiming to be #PsychiatristGeneral

1. I’m a doctor. We know Tylenol and circumcision dont cause autism

2. Diversity is awesome. There aren’t enough Black folks in that room.

3. These people have NO insight and they lack compassion.

4. Trust your doctor…because you can sue us.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

There is a deeper pocketed and more sinister group of men behind all of these figureheads. Men like Miller have no clout or traction without someone else deeply integrated in financial systems to pull strings.

Yup. My worry is that after 3 years of people’s inaction, they will begin to believe that inaction is the norm; and then have to restart the flywheel of justice.

I’m so tired.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

this whole thing is like a renaissance painting

Why Hospital Policies Matter in States That Ban Abortion Our first-of-its-kind data analysis found that a seismic split emerged in how medical institutions in Texas' two largest metro areas, Houston and Dallas, treated miscarrying patients — and in their ou...

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

I feel blessed to have been alive for the entirety of it.

Watch now before it’s gone!

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Antifa isn’t an organization it’s just a word for being antifascist. By officially branding it a ‘terrorist group,’ this week, the regime can now call anyone they don’t like a terrorist and arrest them or maybe even murder them extra-judiciously. State terror was their plan all along.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Vote with your wallet.

Hiding the truth.

Charlie Kirk should still be alive. He deserved to live a full life...

To a Supreme Court filled with Black and Brown faces.

To see his kids come out as trans and realize just how much damage their Dad caused with his rhetoric.

Gun violence sucks; we need better gun safety.

IT IS THE GUNS.

Preach. COVID taught us that less is more. Less instruction time, more customized dynamic teaching.

Public schools will either adapt or die.

Universities are beefing up their amenities b/c they know students will pay. But when professors start directly owning their own IP, game over.

As a physician, I’ve been screaming this from my lungs since Trump was running and chose RFK.

I wish people listened to doctors.

That about sums it up :-)

Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets

I feel every ounce of this.

Agreed! I’m super happy that despite the doldrums we’re living through, powerhouse live action comic book stories can remind us how awesome we can be.

If we want.

Opinion | Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

We must all bear witness.

Apparently all of them.

Race in the workplace: The Black experience in the US private sector This report explores Black workers in the private sector in three parts: participation in the economy; experience in companies; and actions for advancement.

A McKinsey Company report found that 43% of Black private-sector workers earn less than $30,000 per year. That's why it's so important to look at the big picture, not just the outliers that are paraded around.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
