Agree, in hindsight it was a huge mistake not to revoke MD & DO degrees themselves when the anti-vaxx/grifter campaign began in the early 2000s.

The AMA claimed that revoking practicing licenses & board certs was enough.

It wasn’t and we need to be positively draconian about it now.

I think there’s a strong argument to be made for quarantining him. The fumes coming out of his sweat would get bystanders drunk.

Hey UK Friends- I’m watching a lot of Labour meltdown videos after Greens won an election…

Help please. A crumb of context for those of us not on the metric system 😭

Letting police under the umbrella of β€œfirst responders” was like giving the safe combination to bank robbers.

So here’s the thing- you can only trade on the cache of β€œheroic first responders” for so long and that time ended roughly 30 years ago. Between private equity and the near total reliance on volunteers and pay-per-call, Fire/EMS is about to collapse without significant funding overhauls.

Like, multiple things can be right:

1) He cannot control it and *on the
face of it* doesn't mean he's racist.

2) He *absolutely* caused harm to
the four Black people he yelled the
N-word at.

3) He's not inherently racist just
because he said it because it's
physically impossible to *never*
hear slurs, especially in spaces
where people learn how harmful
slurs are.

4) BAFTA/BBC fucked up by editing
out all of his other outbursts
*except* that one.

5) The first time he yelled the N-
word that night, he should've been
moved to an area away from
microphones, to a green room, or to
an area where he was still included
but kept from potentially causing
harm to more people.

6) He should apologize for the
words he used, not his disability.

My mentor is a Black queer disabled woman which means I don’t have to walk through minefields blindfolded.

I will absolutely check in with the communities on how they feel now. If they’ve got a system that works we aren’t gonna throw a wrench in it!

-Medics & trainings for helpers
-Comms teams
-Supply depots

As I get info on these groups as they organize I will share what I can here.

Minneapolis gave us the blueprint. Let’s build it.

ICE is planning a Minneapolis-surge in Baltimore. Let’s take the advice from Minneapolis and get ready.

Things we’re gonna need:
-Community/neighborhood watch groups
-Whistles
-Groups ready to run MA funds for legal assistance and rent assistance
-Drivers for workers
-Bus stop buddies

Nah, fuck the US Men’s hockey team. Spitting on your sisters and YOUR OWN MOTHER for a meet n greet with a fraudster is some heinous shit.

I hope they get medication resistant jock itch and ringworm.

If we want to actually do something about the cartels, we can start by ending the War on Drugs. We already ran this experiment with the mob during Prohibition. Turns out banning things just made organized crime richer. A regulated drug market is safer for everyone.

That’s a good one. Maybe a page/sheet comparing high-mutation RNA viruses to comparatively lower mutation DNA viruses.

Actually I like that for the anti-vaxx crowd. They’re different from anti-establishment patients in a worse and dumber way.

Working on a visual infographic on how vaccines work for patients who are anti-establishment. What are some of the concepts in vaccine education YOU would want to know? How it works? What the differences are btwn mRNA/LAV/inactivated vaccines? Let me know!

These are from an article in 2022 about her wellness grifter antics and COVID conspiracy theories she used to get rich. You can mourn James & the state of US healthcare without enriching a conwoman and danger to society.

I’m sorry he died but y’all have got to be kidding me. They bought a $5M ranch a month before he died and they own rental properties. $50,000 could save hundreds from eviction instead of buying an anti-vaxxer her β€œdream home”.

No matter what any politician or police spokesperson says- it was the people of Minneapolis alone who stood up to ICE. MPD wouldn’t risk getting chilly to serve the community while neighbors risked their lives. And you can tell Chief O’Hara I called him a lil bitch too.
