It’s the T͢a͢í͢n͢o͢ people of the Caribbean over the genocidal colonizers…

It’s the hypocrisy of “you will not replace us” while on stolen land…

It’s the history repeating…

It’s justice for the indigenous…all day every day.

I also agree with you. My original comment was to other professionals communicating with each other.

For patients, you get to call it what you want and ease of communication is definitely important.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Quit Prime after they didn't make a presidential endorsement in Oct 2024. Don't miss it AT ALL. We buy less junk because it's harder, saving $ and carbon.

Because it's America 2025, there are some things you can now ONLY buy via Amazon so we've had to pay Bezos 1-2x in the last year.

At his kids’ school, a woman (here legally) was ripped out of her car by ICE in the *school drop off line* last week for the crime of being brown. The school had to have a town hall about it. His wife teared up just talking about it. People are being traumatized and they are also fucking pissed.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Defense didn't lose the game.
Offense has a coordinator.

When the MMWR lapsed its weekly report for the first time in half a century in January it was the canary in the coal mine that Trump 2 would be significantly more hostile to public health. Now the MMWR is effectively defunct.

IgA is pronounced eye-gee-ay

The reason the disease should be called "eye-gee-ay nephropathy" is because IgA is central to the pathogenic mechanism.

Moving to eye-gan is moving away from describing the disease by its pathogenic mechanism.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

He's always been a "just-the-facts" reporter of data. In his writing, he should be allowed to be a fan when talking about past seasons.

Taking that away would make his job "work".

That time Maggie gave a flying f*ck about human rights:

"Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher declared the arrest to be outrageous, unlawful and inhumane, carried out “at dead of night” on a sedated Pinochet."
