Truth. And the truth hurts.

Going out to dinner in 2015:

Jesus, a hostage situation and shooting in the #ICU of a hospital. How much more bad news will we continually get... www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/u...

Our toddler has all his vaccines but he also has a weird rash illness and I HATE HATE HATE that my brain even had a “but what if it’s breakthrough measles” moment bc these antivax fuckers

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I’m “I have nothing going on this weekend so I’ll get my shingles vaccine” years old.

And as an ER doc: the show is SO ACCURATE 10/10 no notes

🕯️ A beautiful gift from Belfast to Boston! An Irish limestone candle monument stands at Brigham Circle, celebrating Brigham and Women's pioneering work in organ transplantation.

No more students will be offered admission to grad school at Pitt due to the instability of our federal government.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Now that we’re all making the move away from Target to Costco let me remind you to include shopping small into your habits. I know it’s more time consuming, but even a few items a month purchased at a small shop makes a big difference to them. So where are we shopping and what are we buying where?

people used to throw these things at cars and houses

Even Luigi’s ankle cuffs photos just serve to make him look cool, and I hate preppy clothes. I have never seen a folk hero emerge like this in my lifetime, so odd

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

Now the government is going to keep track of your pregnancy! Absolutely deplorable! Missouri Bill proposes registry for pregnant mothers to reduce preventable abortions. www.8newsnow.com/news/nationa...

It’s no mystery. COVID is airborne, very contagious, and dozens of entertainers & performers were gathered closely together & not wearing masks. Can’t believe we’re still doing this five years in. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/m...

Updated CDC H5 wastewater testing published today. As of Feb. 15, CDC reporting again verifies the WastewaterSCAN H5 detections in Newark, NJ and Stamford, CT from earlier this week. Once again, multiple sewersheds in the Newark/NYC region with H5 detections as of Feb. 15.

🚨 JOB ALERT: Research Director, Center for Science & Democracy at @ucsusa.bsky.social. The work of this role in this moment where science is under attack is so important right now!

“In an annual filing, the company said its business could be adversely affected if it was ‘unable to attract or retain specialized talent or top talent with diverse perspectives, experiences and backgrounds.’” Cola wars just leveled up.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

“One man’s claim was dismissed after he missed an administrative deadline because he was on a ventilator…” apnews.com/article/supr...

Ice Airport Alaska season 2- there are still a mask mandate at that time, and so everyone in it is masked. And it looks so safe, and no one is inconvenienced, and they are all able to do their jobs in a mask. It’s so beautiful. Why can’t we still have that? 😭😭😭😭

This is why you still need to mask and covid is not a joke!

Why do I still wear a mask? My New Year’s resolution 4 years ago was to give up catching viruses like Covid, that damage the immune system, brain, heart, lungs, and pretty much entire body. Oh and because I like pretending I’m a ninja. But mostly the virus thing. #MaskUp #Covid19  #LongCovid

This is so relatable and could be referring to pretty much anything at this point

Wtf

It's called a boycott

There are estimated to be more than 300 people with measles infections in west Texas right now, cases have shown up in eastern New Mexico, and there are new cases in New Jersey, Alaska and at least a couple southeastern states. This is a national problem and there is no federal infrastructure for it

Precisely

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

ALERT: Due to a combination of increased costs and a cold winter, The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilites has announced that major gas companies serving this state will have to reduce residential gas bills by 5% for the remainder of the peak season (March and April).

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

The fact that telehealth for medicare ends at the end of March is a tragedy I see multiple patients virtually who have a really hard time getting to the office and it provides definitive benefit for these people

Precisely what we warned about when the emails first went out.

Are you a unionized Planned Parenthood worker? I would like to speak with you for a story. You can find me on Signal at garnethenderson.12

Guess what you can now get on iTunes!

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Social media mantra.

Correction: Medicare not Medicaid (unclear about Medicaid as this is more dependent on state rules) coverage is expiring. So the elderly, who also likely struggle the most with physically traveling to an office, will be the most harmed.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

🚨Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, w/16 hospitalizations. Officials suspect it's spilled just across the border to New Mexico. Low vax rates+undetected infections mean it will grow. “This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better” My latest kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The impact of DC's abortion fund and clinics reach far beyond the city; it's one of the only places in the US where abortion is legal throughout pregnancy. The instas/blueskys and donation links for DCAF and the independent all-trimester clinic are 🧵ed below (in alphabetical order):
