I honestly wonder who thought it was a good idea, on the anniversary of D-Day, to have a speech in which the Secretary's own ideology is set in metaphorical parallel to the Nazis opposing the beaches being stormed on D-Day.

@hannahspierMD Some of us have been at this awhile and are still disabled. Dietary changes, PT/OT, meds, therapy, more therapy, you name it, and none of it has actually worked. We explain because your magical thinking says we should be better but aren't.

It's about being honest, not delusional

[David It Up! @Dave_it_up]

@bozanzian @hannahspierMD A lot of practices don’t see it, because it’s not tracked. We could have easily missed it if we had taken it off our intake form.

We’re a primary care practice in Vermont. We implemented a practice-wide protocol screening every patient at every encounter for recent SARS-CoV-2 infection history. What we’re observing in our panel is not consistent with a psychosomatic framework.

We’re seeing measurable, objective increases in new-onset hypertension, acute cardiovascular events, new-onset allergic disease, and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus, all temporally correlated with infection history. These are not symptom reports. These are clinical findings.

20-year-old Sama Safi is a U.S. citizen, honor student, & beloved by everyone who knows her.

Two days ago, IDF soldiers raided her home, terrorized her family, & detained her without charges.

The US must secure her release & demand accountability from the Israeli government.

Why do people trust their ✌🏾strong✌🏾 immune systems to protect them from airborne viruses but not from sexually transmitted viruses...?

[Jeff Leach @leachfortexas]

After I sent this letter last Friday — and after we and many others, including from the Texas OAG’s office, made calls to Nebraska officials over the past week — we have learned tonight that after fleeing to Nebraska from Texas immediately after he was released from a short stay in County Jail, the State of Nebraska will rightfully require admitted child-abuser Adam Hoffman to register as a sex offender. His license to practice law there is also likely to be suspended.

Well done, Nebraska!

Newark PD won’t let our photographer near Delaney Hall unless he gets rid of his gas mask. Curious considering authorities have been gassing people.

[En(during COVID) @DEC0L0NIZE]

it’s so fucking outrageous how common it is for medical facilities to have their air purifiers not in use—so often i have to turn on or first plug in these long-abandoned tools for cleaning the air. this timeline is committed to misery.

DOGE didn't make a dent in the deficit, but it did bring back screwworm and enable a historically large new Ebola outbreak, so it's not like they didn't achieve *anything*

@Nutri_Science_ I got Covid at age 38 and ended up with permanent heart damage, arrhythmia, & hypertension. In 2019, I was teaching hot yoga, sailing, & running 50 miles/week. I’m on Year 6 of permanent disability. The best thing you can do for your heart health is avoid Covid.

We must be crystal clear about a few points. Long Covid is not a "poorly understood neuroimmune disorder" with no biomarkers. It is a widely studied biological medical condition. Pathology spanning basically all body systems is well documented, with damage in situ across organs

Literally as the Republican House cut these food benefits, Republican Senators were eating lobster for lunch.

I’m leaving the Capitol now at 530am after 19 hrs of votes where Senate Republicans passed $70B for ICE/CBP with no accountability after killings of Alex Pretti/Renee Good and no reforms after chaos at Delaney Hall. Zero dollars to help your family pay bills and high gas prices.

Wasn’t her husband assassinated in broad daylight here in the U.S. while Trump was president?
