Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

Med school/Residency/fellowship teaches to put your head down and grind. To fall into the hierarchy. That does not make an informed or engaged citizen. And yet there are docs getting in good trouble today. You can’t complain PE is taking over if you aren’t willing to show up and fight for yr pts.

Germany is now financing Ukraine's use of a Starlink alternative Eutelstat

Protesters are chanting "F*ck you, Elon" at a Tesla Takedown protest event in Berlin, Germany. Thank you for your solidarity, Germany! 🇩🇪

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

For the love of God, what is the GOP congress doing? Gesturing or ring kissing wont save them bc they are the old guard- the people that will be removed by this administration whenever it’s Night of Long Knives equivalent takes place. This has always been a one man show.

Increasingly there will be no real accountability for the folks who think their implicit bias is actually clinical gestalt.

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

I see colleagues posting in medical forums about how long they have to wait before they call ICE on patients before it’s considered a HIPAA violation. My parents didn’t raise some gestapo informant. I hope they lose their licenses for how they are betraying their oaths.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

I'm unable to join the public line so I'll be following the contempt hearing here:

The always-bright Eric Trump gives away the game, acknowledging that the tariffs are just a form of extortion.

I really appreciate that the default chant of angry constituents at (rare) town hall meetings is: Do Your Job!

Make this viral.

There’s an uncomfortable relationship to confront between the current administration and California. Overwhelmingly these tech-loving, anti-democracy, made their millions in CA and then moved out of state for lower taxes, take from the poor and give to the rich types are from Silicon Valley.

Just a reminder that Grubhub is a Bezos/Amazon joint. Delete your Grubhub app and leave them behind. 🙏💙

“The U.S. stock market is down almost 10% since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, marking the worst 10-week start under a new president since George W. Bush in 2001 during the height of the dot-com selloff.” 4/3/25 fortune.com/2025/04/03/t...

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

In Myanmar’s hour of need, the U.S. is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, China and Russia are providing life-saving aid, gaining goodwill and filling the leadership vacuum left by Trump and Elon Musk’s foolish retreat. An international disgrace. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Media: He did this shocking thing! Stop being surprised a narcissist is narcissisting. Hold the GOP accountable! Hold congress responsible! The GOP could apply the breaks any time and aren’t. Where is that story?!? Why isn’t anyone flushing out why they are selling out democracy?

Case in Boston worth watching. An ICE agent detained a man as he was leaving state court during his own trial. The judge held the agent in contempt for depriving the man of his right to trial. …
