If anyone needs a pick me up, just watch the #OlympicGames The stories, the competition, the struggles, the joy are all so inspiring. Not much better than seeing an athlete nail it and then cry or scream. #Paris2024 #usagymnastics

parking at hospitals should be free and I will die on this hill

the audacity to ask people who are struggling emotionally/physically/mentally to PAY to be in a place where they don’t even want to be in the first place 😠😤

The @pizzahut CEO makes $16M/year or $8K/hr

Pizza Hut drivers make $15.66/hr

Pizza Hut CEO makes every hour what its drivers make in 3 months full time work😳

If you have to exploit people for your business model to work you don’t have a business you have indentured servitude.

Black babies are more than *2 TIMES* as likely to die in their 1st year than white babies.

That’s what systemic racism looks like.

Now, conservative groups are attacking programs that aim to close those gaps.

Their intent is clear and it’s absolutely anti-Black racism.

At Al-Shifa hospital #Gaza:

We have around 600 inpatients
We have around 37 premature babies
We have around 17 patients in the ICU
We have around 600 postoperative patients

They all need medical care.

We need an immediate ceasefire.

American Nurse Emily Callahan is interviewed on @cnn @andersoncooper talking about her experience for 26 days in Gaza.

She lived through over 3 weeks of the bombardment by the IDF, and when asked if she would go back to Gaza to serve with/the Palestinians she responds "in a heartbeat, in an absolute heartbeat...my heart is in Gaza, it will stay in Gaza the Palestinian people I worked with were some of the most incredible people I've ever met...absolute heroes, if I could have a small amount of the courage they have I would die a happy person."

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Maine.

Tricia Asselin, 53, worked part-time at Just-In-Time Recreation, a bowling alley. Although it was her day off, she was there bowling with her younger sister. She is remembered as being kind and generous.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no.

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.

You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.

Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.

Be civilized.

Few things come to mind: hospital policy should follow #EBP and start a restorative sleep program and two, update med admin policy to allow for clustering of meds and more nurse autonomy. I have so many thoughts on this...

[Lauren Rissman @DrRissman]

Why not try to bundle meds?

Why not try to bundle cares + meds?

Why do we need labs drawn so early?

Why is a 7A weight check necessary if there’s no concern for fluid overload or acute weight loss?

Let our patients sleep.

LESS IS MORE.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Starting today, Minnesota will offer students free breakfast and lunch at school.

Here in Minnesota, we will not allow our kids to go hungry.

[California Nurses Association @CalNurses]

An algorithm is not the same as health care and artificial intelligence is not a substitute for experienced nurses.

It’s time we sound the alarm on unsafe technology that makes it harder for us to provide our patients the life saving care they deserve!

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Whats up with the GOPs’ fetish for preventing hungry kids from getting fed???

I support universal school meals and as Chair of the Nutrition Subcommittee, I will fight to protect and expand them to get this basic need met.

Why in this country do fawn over the rich and have abundant hatred for the poor? The rich have controlled the dialogue for too long- dehumanizing the poor, painting them as lazy and entitled. STOP. The suffering you see all around you will only get worse with these new mandates.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

House Republicans get $79 per day for meals and incidentals.

Poor people get $2 per meal under SNAP.

Republicans want to cut $2 for the poor while pocketing nearly 40 times as much for their own meals.

Sound fair to you?

[maggie dickinson @mag2d2]

I wrote this in 2019, the last time they tried to add tighter work requirements to SNAP. I guess failed policies that make life harder for poor people never go out of style.https://t.co/aVLHWBEpm3
