Tulsi Gabbard is withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress, citing executive privilege (which means it involves Trump) and that it's "too classified to give to Congress," which is ridiculous. You can support the lawyers representing the whistleblower here: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

their faces and names in public and unafraid—at least enough that they don't care if the secret police know them—that's what actual organizing is.
Across Georgia, thousands of students are making the same calculation. From Lakeside High to Kennesaw State, they’re deciding that a suspension is a small price to pay to draw attention to the actions of ICE and the recent tragic deaths in Minneapolis.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

This a million percent!
The truth is, if you're living in the US, you can't avoid politics.

Our lives have been politicized. Politicians have taken away human rights.

Health, including mental health & therapy, is political.

Living and surviving are political.

Troops from several European countries continued to arrive in Greenland on Thursday in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. highlighted "fundamental disagreement" over the future of the Arctic island. https://to.pbs.org/3Lfqq1C

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

What's an annoying thing that I dislike at the doctor's office these days? Them wanting to use AI to "transcribe what we say in the meeting for writing notes later". No, absolutely not. If you have been in medicine for all these years and have had to write notes on your own w/o any AI...

If you get a letter from the school board demanding you pay extra for your disabled child’s public school education, contact a Special Education attorney IMMEDIATELY.

This is a flagrant violation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act signed into law in 1993.

WILDLY illegal.
Ohio parents of kids with disabilities are receiving letters from the school board demanding they pay “extra” for their disabled children.

This is ableism and discrimination at its finest.

They weren’t even given adequate warning. Just 17 days to pay up.

If you need a good laugh, besides reading funny greeting cards in the store I've found that watching videos of people after having anesthesia is quite hilarious. People can say the funniest things.

As a hospitalist physician working full-time, I can tell you the only folks who try to make this distinction are people who don’t understand or deliberately misrepresent how it works. So let’s learn! #Billing #Reimbursement #Insurance #DeathCertificates #COVID

Some people have a problem with diversity in humans but they forget that there is a crap ton of diversity out in nature. And some animals are super smart and very pretty/handsome.

Plague deaths still happen in the Southwest so this isn’t unusual in itself but pneumonic plague is extremely rare and I’m reminded that the CDC infectious disease investigators and outbreak monitors have been fired/eliminated
Arizona patient dies in emergency room from plague
The patient was recently treated at an emergency department in Flagstaff and died the same day, Northern Arizona Healthcare said.

Playing the Ann Arbor Summer Game & there is a badge related to denim jeans. Recently when thinking about jeans, I recall airbrushed jeans from the early 90's. As fashion always gets recycled through the years, I wonder if that trend will ever return. Maybe I should get some jeans & airbrush them

All social workers should read and understand the implications laid out in this @propublica.org article for our clients (and ourselves). In April 2025, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. laid off roughly 3,500 FDA employees—about 15% of the workforce—claiming inspections would remain unaffected. 1/3

Beyond staff cuts, the departures of some longtime investigators in recent months have left less experienced people tasked with rooting out dangerous manufacturing practices.

Women like the prominent 20th-century writer and activist Marjory Stoneman Douglas fought half a century ago to protect the Florida Everglades.
Now, a new generation of women environmental leaders is trying to halt a new immigrant detention center there.
