Does that seem fair to you?
Yikes. Bari Weiss strikes again.
Nothing to see here, folks!

This is true. 🧪
No meeting/no plan and no safety for the patients still stuck in our "death zones."
To those who call me partisan: This isn't about team jerseys... it’s about competence. When docs beg for help and govt won’t even sit at the table...
Does that seem like "Good Govt" to you?

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔
(From @crindivisible.bsky.social )
“… our ID fellows alone receive an average of 4.1 chat messages per patient, every day. With 15–20 patients, that’s easily 60–80 interruptions daily … a recent study showed that… 99% were non-urgent and 66% were non-actionable.”
Good time to remind everyone that NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, a right-wing economist, has made it a personal goal to make sure lockdowns can never return.
Because in his mind, there is nothing that could ever justify shutting down the economy.

Jay Bhattacharya, ... @NIHDirector_Jay Follow ... If you want to pack a punch !. , start with what's on your plate. Eat Real food • S. Be like Mike Tyson. @HHSGov @SecKennedy @MikeTyson Read the new Dietary guidelines here realfood.gov
Jay Bhattacharya wearing the face tats of a convicted rapist for his “eat more veggies” campaign. V normal.
Let’s remember to thank all the EBM gurus and “medical conservatives” who elevated MAHA to power.
Cancelled RCTs is their legacy.
Another Bari Weiss MAGA infomercial.
Very happy to share this Feb commentary in @lancetgastrohep.bsky.social co-authored w @mayoclinic.org #IBD Dr. Edward V. Loftus Jr. - making our case for an urgent repositioning of #microscopiccolitis under the "true" #IBD umbrella - long overdue for this disease.

This is absolutely worth a read if you missed it the first time.
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
REP. BALINT: “This is not a game, Secretary!”
BONDI: “I’m Attorney General.”
REP. BALINT: “My apologies. I couldn’t tell.” 🔥
“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.”
“No,” her husband said.
I urge you to read this today.
Blame them
Just lovely - in this weekend's @theglobeandmail.com. Makes me think of a term one of my wise friends and teachers used to talk about - bi-directional healing. We most definitely get something out of those extra efforts too.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Warning: video is hard to watch
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

Screenshot of a news page/header with the headline: “Morale ‘plummeting’ among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred.” Below the headline is a winter street photo showing a bundled-up officer wearing a face covering and tactical vest standing in falling snow, with several other people and vehicles in the background.
What a shame, how terrible for them.
