@98Simply Oh man... flashbacks to my #redneck childhood

@SamSpellicy Only took a semester for that anxiety to set in. I was really bad at muting at first-- The worst (so far) was during health promo class when my gf & I started discussing a gruesome scene from a Ted Bundy doc. My mates blew up my phone to mute b/c the prof was too polite to ask🙃

Still waiting for the time I read a question stem that mentions a patient is LBGTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 and it doesn’t want you to assume they have an STD.

Why can’t Tom and his husband just be coming in because Tom broke his ankle while they were hiking.

You can't say covid-19 is so safe we can reopen schools then turn around and say it's too dangerous to have an election.

@traependergrast @traependergrast Totally feel this! After graduating with BS+BA struggled to break into public health + policy despite 10+ years of work experience. So did 1st internship, which paid (not much). Now in 2nd internship (11m, unpaid) + grad school. It's a pay-to-play workforce :/

WH press conference today, Trump brags about US ranking highest in world for ability to contain outbreak using study of country resources & infrastructure. So we're #1 for global #COVID19 cases but 195th for political will & leadership?💀 GHSI study: https://t.co/PeXp6001kO

@KCKlatt We can try a spam filter while the nutrition industry resets🙃

[Kevin C. Klatt, PhD, RD @KCKlatt]

Sites like @WebMD aren't even trying to hide that nutrition is a cute tool for them to get clicks. The entire nutrition industry needs to hit the reset button.

"Professionalism" is often a coded word weaponized against groups that are historically underrepresented, undervalued & systemically disempowered in medicine.

👏 Holy 👏 Crap 👏
32% of homeowners missed July house payment

Today the U.S. Senate resumes negotiations on #unemployment benefits for #HEROESAct

GOP do not want to continue $600 benefit b/c = "disincentive" to return to work

Really?

“Yet 263,000 immigrants & refugees in the 🇺🇸 who have at least a 4-year college degree in medical & health sciences are largely sidelined. @MigrationPolicy for years has mapped skill underutilization, which its researchers refer to as ‘brain waste.’”https://t.co/LV6qWwxBbc

Did #America get a warranty on #TrumpWall? Since taxpayers & probably won't get a refund, let's try reasonable #immigration policies this time around. @JohnCornyn @SenTedCruz y'all voted for it, #climatechange knocked it down. @MigrationPolicy can you help them out? @TribWire

Fmr Navy Vet approached federal agents to question constitutionality of unsanctioned presence outside federal jurisdiction at #PortlandProtest. Was preemptively beaten & pepper sprayed in response. Trump admin & GOP #LawAndOrder tactics are dangerous & desperate. Go #Vote2020!

[Jonathan Greenberg @JournalistJG]

@ByMikeBaker Courageous PATRIOT Chris David explains his protest: "That oath of office is essentially swearing loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, and what they're doing is not constitutional anymore." #America2034 #PortlandProtest https://t.co/NoEUa3l3YU

[Mike Baker @ByMikeBaker]

The man in this Portland video is Christopher David.

A Navy veteran, he tells us he went to the protests for the first time to ask officers about the constitution.

He said his fingers are broken and he needs surgery.

NEW: We’re ordering closures of schools until at least Sept 8. I owe everything I have to public schools. The last thing we want are closures. But we can't open until we dramatically reduce spread. The harder we work to crush the curve the sooner kids can responsibly return.
