@sspadafore.bsky.social @faithdaniellemd.medsky.social be bold with your beliefs. Taking a stand on policy can close some doors, but those are likely doors you don’t want to walk through anyway.

@sspadafore.bsky.social we are natural story tellers. Taking a complex history and turning it into a one liner.

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

It still amazes me that people could look at this and think that any number of “gang members” in that group is worth this one person being locked up without a charge or trial, and sent to a torture camp.

As someone who is “not a criminal,” this terrifies me.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

6 more days for this to be proven wrong, other wise the AMA is in need of a serious leadership change.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

🔥 From @amermedicalassn.bsky.social:

“Many physicians fear the #healthinsurance industry’s use of unregulated #artificialintelligence #AI automation and predictive technologies will increasingly override good medical judgment and systematically deny #patients coverage for necessary #medicalcare. “🧵

This is how the Democrats recover from 2024. We don’t win defending the status quo, we win by defining the future we want. We win with inspiration and vision, not a defense of what currently is. Change is possible, and people clearly want it.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Those are hours that I will get paid for, as it was official communication and mandatory to respond. We get paid hourly for everything mandatory. And no new information was sent that my supervisor (who is salary) didn’t already know.

What a waste.

I have now gotten a 4th clarification on how to respond to this email, including instructions that in part contradict what was previously stated.

As an intermittent employee, I did nothing last week, but now I have done hours of work answering these emails, and my management has done the same.

The email also does not specify that if you don’t respond it will be taken as a resignation.

Pausing or decreasing admissions is an obvious and necessary response to the uncertainty purposefully created by Trump.

The ripple effect of this will last for years, and delay/prevent cures and prevention of disease for even longer. We must continue to resist this harm in every way we can.

This is the problem with viewing everything in life as a competition with winners and losers. You’re so focused on “winning” that you end up beating the people whose only goal in life is to help people.

Our country is choosing the dark ages, and you and I will suffer for it.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families.

Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

This city took fluoride out of the water. Now it’s putting it back in Calgary, which has endured ten years of worsening dental health and is reversing its decision, is a cautionary tale for Robert F Kennedy Jr

RFK says fluoride is toxic, but in 2011 Calgary took fluoride out of drinking water, and the number of children receiving IV antibiotics for dental infections at Alberta Children’s Hospital increased by 700% from 2011 to 2018. Calgary is now bringing back fluoride.

Making everything demonstrably worse.

This is stupid, and I really needed it.

Controversial opinion: the CDC site being down is better than a censured version being up. Public Health voices will fill the void, but if the space is occupied, it’s harder to be heard.

Nothing to see here, just the Trump admin making sure that we are less prepared for disasters in the future.

While everything is awful right now, I have to say: the fact that the CDC can't tell me about preventing HIV but hey can continue to collect my race and gender information in direct defiance of Trump's EOs is just the dumbest timeline.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

This is his mission. Laws don’t matter. The constitution doesn’t matter. He’s trying to remove all evidence of protecting against discrimination. What a pathetic and weak leader Trump is.

MAHA includes removing STI treatment guidelines from the CDC website? Just wondering.

USPS gets it:

We all agree this would work, right? youtu.be/jfsEgZAtMyc?...
