Es de agradecer que alguien con un perfil tan alto como Pascal, que está en The Last of Us, The Mandalorian y los 4F, aproveche el altavoz que tiene para pronunciarse por causas justas, la verdad.

#USDA reports the first new #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herd in weeks, this one in Arizona. It's the state's 5th and the country's 1074th. Does the trickle of new positives mean the outbreak is ending? Who knows? So little visibility on this situation. www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-po...

Houston police called ICE on a woman who called 911 to report domestic abuse by her ex-husband. The only reason she didn't get deported is because ICE said there was no one to take custody of her kids, according to the police report. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

If you actually care for the safety of law enforcement officers, you should be seriously concerned about masked ICE agents operating with impunity. Nothing good can come from this: www.latimes.com/california/s...

"When I saw the video of Vance’s “José” crack — a flash of a grin on his face just after he uttered it, his eyes flitting around as if expecting a laugh — my blood boiled just as much as after watching footage of migra agents roughing up undocumented immigrants." @gustavoarellano.bsky.social

As an HIV+ gay man, the fact that we have an AIDS denialist as HHS secretary is repulsive and frightening. Thanks to @malar0ne.bsky.social for highlighting this point. This man is public health enemy #1.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

"None of the Josés in my family were jokes. Neither were the Josés I admire — Cuban revolutionary José Martí, Mexican singer José Alfredo Jiménez, astronaut José M. Hernández. Nor was Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus — José is what we call him in Spanish." www.latimes.com/california/s...

"The department reviewed surveillance footage and other video and saw the credentials on the man’s uniform, according to the chief. “We were able to determine that to the best of our estimation he was an ICE agent. ... We will not look into it any deeper than that."

The FDA is literally tasked with overseeing the safety of all food, drugs, medical devices, & cosmetics, as well as “preventing the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases.” They regulate our safety from cell phones, to sperm donation, to condoms, to domestic animals to lasers

Wild that we had a whole Democratic primary, and the winner of that beat the winner of the Republican primary, and then we ended up with a Republican governor.

You cannot claim to be pro-worker and then veto critical legislation that would help workers on strike. Governor Lamont should stand with workers, not corporate greed.

Lamont had quite a morning. He vetoed the pro-housing bills and said he'd rank Cuomo first if he lived in NYC. c.f. ctmirror.org/2021/08/03/l...

De mis frases favoritas de una campaña tremenda de Zohran Mamdani que culmina en las elecciones de las primarias demócratas de mañana: «A todos los que me paran y me dicen, con buena intención, “ya has ganado”: lo siento, pero se acabó el tiempo de las victorias morales».

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Absolute pathetic governor we have in Connecticut. His veto rested on "Towns are trying really hard, I need to give them more time" I'm sorry, the data just doesn't support anything the Governor is saying. We cannot permit our way out of a 400k home shortage without changing anything

Our hospital was closed by the state for being too hot but they have kept the ER open for walk ins. Last 2 nights, the ER has hit 99 degrees. Leads don’t stick on sweaty patients. VBG machines don’t work. Who has tips for me surviving my shift there today?

The death toll this past #flu season took on kids continues to climb. In its latest flu update, #CDC reports on another 4 deaths, bringing the total to date to 250 — an extraordinary number. 89% of the kids for whom vaccination status was known weren't fully vaccinated. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

As an Iranian American, it feels like I need to help explain something: A friend recently expressed confusion as to why those in the Iranian diaspora (liked myself), who hate the regime, would be opposed to the attacks on Iran. I’ll try to explain my thoughts/feelings. 🧵

A lot of really smart people said Dr. Jay Bhattacharya was qualified, competent, and the perfect guy to head the NIH. We now have some data points on his performance and I invite them to tell us all how right they were. My latest. sciencebasedmedicine.org/go-ahead/

💯. Also would add that CIWA is only useful for a patient w/ alcohol withdrawal and NO other active medical/neuro issues that could cloud the picture. I don’t know where such simple one-issue patients are. Nearly all ICU patients in 2025 have several active problems. So we dont use CIWA #EMIMCC
