Medical specialties as Pokémon. A 🧵. 1st gen (sorry @joshmcgoo)

Emergency Medicine—Ditto
Changes into basically every other specialty depending on the situation. May not get all the details perfect, but gets the job done

@Swan_Creek1 @RepNancyMace It’s EXACTLY what you said.

Bigoted pieces of shit like Mace who think that naturalized citizens should not hold office are free to express that rancid opinion at the ballot box. YOU can also express your only-slightly-less-awful opinion the same way.

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@MattJuliano @RepNancyMace This is a shitty belief, and you and Nancy are shitty people for holding it

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@Swan_Creek1 @RepNancyMace “I agree with this except when it’s a person I agree with and admire”

Gosh, if only there were some way that voters could indicate whether they want a particular person to hold power 🤔

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@RepNancyMace This is a shitty thing to believe, and you are a shitty person for believing it

@CuntFinder83688 @tuffluffjimmy @glounit @esjesjesj You didn’t make an argument. You just stated something that is clearly false.

Saying your child is “dead” because they’ve made choices regarding their life that you disagree with just makes you a deadbeat dad.

@GentDerk @USDOL @RapidResponse47 @POTUS Lies and more lies is a pretty good encapsulation of the Trump effect, or at least A Trump effect

@FlamingkittyU @dieworkwear Are you under the impression that it’s something that was an option they just didn’t feel like doing?

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@ghotihead2001 @dieworkwear Affordable suits and shoes are arguably all “knock offs” of more expensive items, in that they incorporate common design elements. These companies don’t own (and legally can’t own) the basic idea of a particular watch or suit or whatever.

@CarlsCurls @trickydickpol @ASFleischman You realize that all refers to the same group of people, right? Families of foreign diplomats. This was an exception going back to English common law

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@SenMikeLee They are absolutely subject to U.S. jurisdiction, which is why they can be prosecuted

@ScottBarrettDFB I buy that nobody else was gonna offer what the Bills did. I don’t buy that he was gonna get cut

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@CarlsCurls @trickydickpol @ASFleischman No, that’s a recent cottage industry among MAGA imbeciles

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@RossSchumann @ASFleischman We incarcerate a pretty large number of them when they commit crimes

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@mwhite1961 @rstoller35 @ASFleischman Which makes them subject to U.S. jurisdiction (unlike diplomats and their children). Can’t have it both ways.

@emelem66 @Bourgeois1951 @BlueBoxDave You’re free to open a book, or to use your googling fingers. There were no major restrictions on immigration for the first century of our existence, and we prospered greatly. I know it breaks your dumbass MAGA brain, but we had actual open borders and did fantastically well

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@djcfromtheOC @Bourgeois1951 @BlueBoxDave …system that prioritizes family unification among many immigration pathways

Serious question: did you take a U.S. history class somewhere where you were taught that the restrictions from the 1920s-1965 were a good thing?

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@djcfromtheOC @Bourgeois1951 @BlueBoxDave to the Chinese exclusion act and later subsequent restrictions in the early 1920s. Consensus among historians is essentially that it was egregiously racist bullshit. Those laws stayed on the books until the INA in 1965, which abolished them and moved to a complicated…

[Alan Plotzker, MD @AlanPlotzker]

@Bourgeois1951 @BlueBoxDave Read a fucking history book. Or ask Grok; that’s what you morons do, right?
