Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

We NEED EVERY medical journal and every media publication to do this. 𝕏 is a cesspool and BlueSky needs a chance. Way to go @kidneymed.bsky.social 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #medsky #nephsky

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency. (Photos shared with me)

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

BREAKING NEWS: It is much worse than previously reported: Not only were at least 30 federal attorneys who worked on January 6 cases fired, but all six of the FBI's most senior executives and multiple heads of field offices have been escorted out. This is terrifying.

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI. Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis. Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight. Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

A Dozen Misguided Influencers Spread Most of the Anti-Vaccination Content on Social Media | Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, is perhaps the most visible and vocal leader of the anti-vaccination movement and his membership in the Disinformation Dozen was expected. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

RFK Jr.'s plan to collect referral fees raises ethics questions. RFK Jr. collected $856,000 from Wisner Baum last year, according to his financial disclosure form (PDF). www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/rfk-j...

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

Veterans EARNED their healthcare. Republicans are ripping it away—slashing funding, blocking benefits, and forcing Veterans into a system that will fail them. We won’t stand by while they spit on those who served. Save veterans' healthcare! #SaveVeteransHealthCare

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Exactly.

Travellers at Pearson may have been exposed to measles: health officials | If you were at Pearson Airport last week in Terminal 1, Toronto public health officials say may want to make sure you’ve had your measles vaccine. www.durhamradionews.com/archives/193...

“Despite these glaring patterns, misogyny remains unrecognised as form of extremism. Misogyny is not and cannot remain a side note to these acts. It is central to understanding and stopping these tragedies. We must call it what it is: a form of terror.”

Trump has pardoned Lauren Handy, an anti-abortion activist who was arrested in 2022 after police found five fetuses in her home. Handy claimed she and a colleague seized 115 fetuses from a medical waste collector for ‘proper burial and a funeral.

Many, many people are reaching out with questions about the impact of the LA fires on their homes and environment. There are some things we can say based on the research that was done after the Marshall Fire in Colorado. Here is a short thread to summarize what was learned. @ciresnews.bsky.social

I built my entire future on the hope of securing NIH funding. Now, countless junior faculty like me are watching our academic dreams slip away. We’re not just losing careers—we’re losing the research breakthroughs we could have delivered. Here’s hoping this NIH crisis ends soon. #medsky #NIH

None of these guys cared about free speech and open academic debate. It was all an act, a marketing technique. That worked very well!

We finally succeeded in visualizing influenza viruses in droplets! Jin Pan found that virions hung around with mucin, which helped keep them intact and preserved infectivity. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... Free preprint at drive.google.com/file/d/1tMgc... /1

I woke up with a great sense of foreboding today. The politician changes and approach of #H5N1 weigh on my mind. Let’s hope some wisdom comes out of both. Virtue is its own reward.

Gentle reminder: To date, covid-19 has killed approximately 27 million people globally (excess deaths). It was, and is, absolutely a thing, and so are other diseases. 💉Get vaccinated 🧴Wash hands 😷 Mask up in crowds 💻 Work partially remotely 💨 Air rooms It's all still true. 🧪 #Health #Medicine

It should be commonsense 'not to visit friends or family in hospital if you are feeling ill, even if you think ‘it’s just a sniffle’. 🤦'What is a sniffle to you, might be a life-threatening flu infection to a vulnerable person.' www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green met with Dem and GOP senators today, warning them not to confirm RFK as HHS secretary and describing RFK's role in spreading anti-vax misinformation in 2019 in Samoa that resulted in dozens of children dying from the measles. www.huffpost.com/entry/hawaii...

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege. We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!

Spineless admin. Could always just close the comments. We can’t run our lives based on the comments section. Patients have a disproportionate chance of dying from this administrative cowardice.

If you need any more proof of the coordinated lies on the right, look no further—even AFTER they knew the New Orleans terrorist was an American-born citizen, they kept pushing the lie that it all happened because of our “wide-open border.” FACT: Unlawful border crossings are at a 4-year low.

Heads up🔥 The GOP just released their 12 priority bills. They are all horrific. Pay attention to this one about voting: 10. A bill to amend the National Voter Registration Act to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office

It’s 2025… can we start masking in hospitals this year? Can we stop insinuating that hospital acquired covid is “inevitable” or that those who die were going to “die anyways”? Can we call it what it is? An epic failure of infection control to protect those who put their lives in your hands:
