I’d really just like a cuppa (since i’m cutting back on the wine) and my snuggle pups and my tsunami of unread books and for dystopia to go back to being a genre

If RFK Jr is confirmed as HHS Secretary tomorrow, my patients will become less safe. I promise to continue to promote real science and to provide the best possible care to my patients, including routine childhood vaccines. No matter what. Who is with me? #PedSky #MedSky

I was born on the Gulf of Mexico. The AP has stated legitimate rationale for continuing to use that name, above and beyond how petty it is to change it. This is an outrageous interference with the free press

@facs.org When are we going to comment on the atrocious actions by the president/nonelected appointees against WHO, CDC, NIH, USAID and medical science in general? I was trained to be proud that I was a surgeon scientist. As a fellow of ACS, I’m embarrassed we are choosing silence and complicity

the passing of time on a work night is bizarre. 9:31 is early, but 9:47 is practically 10 which might as well be midnight.

Call your organizations— ABMS, AAFP, AAP, AOA, AMA etc. and all your state attorney generals and flood them with calls to sue the Trump administration over pulling us from the WHO and muzzling and destroying cdc/nih/fda/hhs and forcing their views on science. Please repost.

The motivation here seems to be to create as much chaos as possible. Freeze spending with a memo. Then repeal the memo. Then say the spending freeze is still on anyway.

Trump loves his average MAGA supporters the same was a teenage boy loves the unpopular insecure girl he’ll allow to give him a handjob but won’t talk to later at the party.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
