National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Netanyahu continues his focused Palestinian GENOCIDE. ENOUGH! @seancasten.bsky.social @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @congressmanraja.bsky.social
As winter arrives, over one million Gazans lack shelter, with 92% of housing destroyed by Israel.
In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food.
The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW.

Lack of tents, food and warm clothes leaves Gazans exposed ahead of winter
As winter approaches in Gaza, more than a million residents are vulnerable to extreme weather and disease, as Israeli restrictions hobble the humanitarian response.

@jaketapper.bsky.social , call back Bill Cassidy and HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE. These shameful deaths are his responsibility whether he is willing to admit it or fails to acknowledge his complicit acquiescence.
Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
