I want to hear what every single athlete has to say about the drones. The noise is driving ME nuts. I can’t imagine…

Yes and no. But mostly yes.

The best example of β€œno” is rheumatic fever. People would survive strep throat but their bodies (hearts and kidneys, to be specific) would still be harmed by the immune response to the infection.

Couldn’t get a picture, but drove past yet another small anti-ICE protest in yet another working class neighborhood of Cincinnati.

We have the numbers. We just need to do the work.

I’ve said it before: the only thing that explains elected Republicans’ determination to support Trump’s objectively unpopular policies is that they don’t believe they’ll need to win a fair election.

Otherwise they’d read the same polls we do and moderate.

They are going to try to steal this election. I know it’s illegal. I know β€œthey can’t just…”.

The masses have to stop them. We have to stop them.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump is convicted of child molestation against 2 children

He attempted to keep one victim quiet by claiming he would receive $10 million from the Trump administration as restitution for former Jan. 6 defendants and would share the money with the victim in his will πŸ˜‘πŸ–•

If my 42 years of being human hadn’t taught me this, my 15 years of being a surgeon/ICU doctor most certainly has.

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting The β€œshow your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

It’s not gross. It’s part of life. Everybody poops. Look at your poop. Not knowing about your poop can only harm you.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us.

Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

Did you watch Dawson’s Creek? Today is a great day to ask your PCP about your options for colon cancer screening.

Exactly this! I have spent years trying to explain that the COVID and COVID vaccine disinformation campaigns were an intentional attempt to break trust in institutions and, in turn, to dismantle democracy. I wrote about that in this series of articles:

There are so many threads to pull here but the absolute intellectual bankruptcy of the richest men on the planet is impossible to ignore. It can't just be that they personally got lucky, or leveraged some edge at the right time; they have to be undeniably superior to others at a foundational level.

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.
