I’m an ER doctor, and I love books, animals, social justice, bodily autonomy, and LGBTQIA2 rights. My family too, of course, but it depends on how many children are currently screaming.

Breaking News: SpaceX’s Starship spun out of control in space before breaking apart during its ninth test flight.

Trump officially accepts the most dangerous Trojan Horse disguised as a gift from Hamas-Funding Qatar. Aside from 100s of millions in alterations, this plane will need to be escorted by up to 4 F16 fighter jets at all times. NOTHING free about this deal - AND it wipes out American jobs at Boeing.

They’re beating and raping women in ICE detention but you about to hear about this one white man for a month til they release him.

🧵The largest plantation in the South burned down this week. And the way white folks—especially wedding vendors—are mourning “memories” and “brides who won’t get to have their special day there”? It’s giving cognitive dissonance. Because let’s be real...

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Has nobody seen “Colossus: the Forbin Project”? This is a bad idea.

Since both my cats are fixed, I've begun referring to them as my Council of Eunuchs.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

I am the very model of a modern major Cardinal I've information sacred, ethereal, and papal, I know the Popes of Vatican, and I quote the texts Biblical, from Paul to Ecclesiasticus In order categorical I'm very well aquatinted too, with religious things historical I understand the councils

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

A fair question.

Note from your friendly ER doctor: wear your seatbelts. Every day. Every time.

begging for money on the internet after calling a child racial slurs? these are gutter people raised in gutter families with a rotten, rancid culture

Way to go, Encyclopedia Brownshirt.

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

Highly recommend “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” by Anne Fadiman. It was a very personal read for me, as a physician and the mom of a disabled child. This book is a rich look at medical culture, immigrant identity, and the ethics of truth. #booksky

Just recorded a podcast episode about “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” - join our reading journey on Spotify! Sometimes we all need to dissociate. Reading is the way I handle this timeline. open.spotify.com/show/6F04iud...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

I’m not normally a bird watcher, but I was thrilled to catch a blue suited twit sleeping away the day.

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

that single sentence is going to drive me insane

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Me too.

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

Stephen Miller turns the fascism up to 11 on Fox News

Disabled people who can work are worthy. Disabled people who cannot work are worthy. Disabled people who are completely independent are worthy. Disabled people who rely on others for assistance are worthy. ALL disabled people are worthy.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Disgusting.

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

“The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.” - Judge Wilkinson www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-a-judg...

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

This is some sick shit

Latest in my silly little series of digital security PSAs ... with guitar. Here's a little ditty about making your Venmo private

In case you needed to see one beautiful thing today. He should never have been kidnapped, but it’s beautiful to see him with his mom.

As the mom of a disabled child who relies on technology and medical supplies, this is terrifying. The attack on disabled people is real. Not imminent. Present now.
