LeVar Burton delivered this testimony in 1995 urging Congress not to cut funding for public broadcasting.

His words remain true 30 years later, as Senate Republicans advance a bill that would slash funding for PBS and NPR.

Tell your senators to oppose these cuts: (202) 224-3121.

As a new group of young doctors enters the #ER during July, our seasoned Emergency Medicine physicians, @askdrbilly.bsky.social and Dr. Howard Greller explain what it means for your #summer ER visit on @nyudocs.bsky.social SiriusXM ch. 110 - Thursdays 8-10am East.☀️

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

These people disgust me. They hate us all. This is a game to them. They are pathologically antisocial and selfish. They deserve as much contempt as we can give. They have nothing but smug, selfish contempt for us, and they will smirk to each other as they kill children and enrich themselves doing so

A refrigerator truck filled with body bags

What an unserious person. I will never be able to unsee the people suffocating in their own bodies because the virus melted their lungs. Whole families showing up together at the brink of death. Myself & my colleagues putting on garbage bags & months-old N95 to resuscitate them in hospital driveways

Martin Kulldorff & @MartinKu...•9/10/23 S.•• "One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler .. In some ways, the U.S. government.. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" - @HRaleighspeaks

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

SORRY. Sorry.
Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Heads up guys, making cracks about alcoholism, addiction, and recovery programs isn't the chill win some folks seem to think it is. People are going through hell out there.✌️

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

I love it when you find an author you love and they have the grace to have published several books so you're not going to run out of their work any time soon. Thank you authors 🙏

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Kurt Vonnegut man

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

Spotted on the commute home 👀

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

This is going to be a big problem.

Not typically on pubmed (a free online database of medical literature) on Saturday nights but heard it was down and had to check for myself.

A fun fact about vitamin A supplementation is it can kill you

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

RFK Jr. Takes a Sledgehammer to Two Major Vaccine Developments Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is already implementing his dangerous anti-vax views at HHS.

NEW:

“Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools.

I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov
