I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

I will be in Kansas tonight at the Community Center in Iolo (eye-ola). I would love to see you!

Musicians doing what they do! ❤️

Words that strike fear into the heart of every pediatrician during a well baby visit: "Well, the chiropractor said..." #PedSky #MedSky

Please share: Measles is spread by people who have been infected but often are NOT yet showing symptoms. So, even if a person looks healthy, they can still spread measles. Nearly 1/3 children under 5 years of age who contract measles need hospitalization. It’s not “just a rash.” (Continued)

Thank you to everyone for following! What a warm welcome 🤗. Currently struggling to follow everyone back but I’m getting there! Haha 🫠

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

I returned from DC feeling crushed. Pediatricians keep telling stories about kids and families devastated by disease, deportation, violence- thinking that would convince the Right that we need to help people. What I got wrong is that the current administration does not want to help the poor, the

Dissent is a vital part of our democracy. He is doing his job, the same job that all Members of Congress were elected to do—to voice the concerns of their communities, fight for the rights of the American people, and uphold our system of democracy—no matter the cost.

Cancel your plans for Tuesday, find a protest near you and join. Call, text, DM your irl moots and organize in groups. We need everyone on the streets. #3E #USprotests #march4liberty

In DC for Pediatric Advocacy… at least most everyone still trusts their own doctor. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s there! I see hope.

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

Bravo, SNL. Bravo.

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

Authoritarians can't tolerate scientists, and they can't tolerate science. Scientists are independent authorities who might contradict them. Science as a way of knowing threatens control. To authoritarians the truth is whatever they say it is, not referenced to reality.

The U.S. has officially recorded its first measles death since 2015. Texas health officials have confirmed that an unvaccinated child has passed away from measles amid a massive outbreak that has impacted nine counties in West Texas. 👉 meidasnews.com/news/the-uni...

Ukrainians currently joking on Twitter — Trump may want to nuke us after Zelensky’s press conference, so thank god they fired all the people who know where the launch codes are.

Please RSVP for and invite friends to the week-long Amazon boycott coming up (if you still have facebook): www.facebook.com/events/13171... As physicians, we have a LOT of buying power. And the more people we get on board, the more impact we have. #CancelAmazon #BoycottAmazon #MedSky #AcademicSky

Horrific

Today I saw flu A, flu B, Covid, Strep, seizures, cellulitis, migraines, asthma, anxiety and a swallowed penny stuck in the esophagus. I know how to recognize these, test for and treat them. They don't scare me. You know what scares me? Measles scares me. And that should scare you. #PedSky #MedSky

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

This is fascism.

R₀ (R-naught) = the average number of people one infected person will transmit the virus to in a fully susceptible population Measles' R₀ of 12–18 means that, on average, one person with measles can infect 12 to 18 others in a community with no immunity.Watch her spread. www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/h...

Resist.

No lie detected…

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

History ignored repeats itself.

Oh, hell yes…

US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Trump and Musk’s hostile takeover is closing health centers, cutting care and raising prices — looting the Treasury to fund a massive tax cut. There are real people behind the numbers — including Trump voters!Uplift their stories and stop the power grab!

Thanks for everyone's supportive comments about my run in with that terrorist Tomorrow I'm in DC Federal Court supporting my friend and counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social , fighting on behalf of the wrongfully persecuted FBI agents who dedicated their lives to public service. The fight doesn't end.

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside down—a universal signal of distress.

The goal of our nation-leading Child Tax Credit is simple: lift kids out of poverty and get money back to working families.   Last year, nearly 225,000 families claimed the Child Tax Credit and saw an average total credit of $2,500.
