Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

@georgenh_ I'm back - just for this content

@JerEscajeda @fuckedupfoods Why am I so hungry?

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]

@JerEscajeda @David_Barton @PittMedStudents @FOAMddm @PittEmergency @PittEMSDocs @upmcem If I told you I already had plenty would you believe me?

[Paul Phrampus @pphrampus]

I’m fundraising for the kids of a dear friend, fellow EM Doc, and amazingly great person who was taken from us tragically Saturday morning! Helping me feel useful in the setting of despair.

@EmilyBrownEM @upmcem @David_Barton and I wanted to thank you for the invite 🙄

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]

@jelevenson From one @UPMC doc to another-you should check out @Blueberry_Rx which is a local pharmacy that already has this model in place.

They love helping people and their transparent prices are available on their website!

(I use them for my meds and pay 1/3 my insurance+ price at GE)

Thank you to the pharmacist who called me last night to fix a buprenorphine script.

"We close in a minute or two but I don't mind staying late for things like this."

RT if you personally know someone with Covid right now.

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]

@AmSidlak It was at my community site, not at Mercy. Would have been laughed at if it was at Mercy.

@georgenh_ @JerEscajeda @upmcem 1. Why are you posting from Munhall?

@JerEscajeda No I kept up on my notes so I got out on time.

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]

@JerEscajeda Elevated troponins after midnight on daylight savings night are automatic admissions sorry I don't make the rules

[John E. Jones IV @johnjones4]

So I made something: follow @LassoPepTalkBot if you want a little pep talk every now and then 😀

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]

@JerEscajeda I still remember you making me tea and sitting in your living room to debrief ♥️

[Pitt EM Residency @upmcem]

Today we remember the 11 lives lost 3 years ago during the horrific act of hate perpetrated at the Tree of Life Synagogue as well as the many others affected including the Pittsburgh Jewish community and all police, fire, and EMS personnel who responded so heroically that day.

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]

@FarnethRA Keep fighting the good fight, brother.

[James Van Meerbeke @james_vanm]
