the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Massachusetts folks, the LUCE ICE Hotline is ☎️ 617-370-5023. If you see ICE in your area, call and report. And spread the word! Full sheet of stickers here: tinyurl.com/5eddfvrt
Print on mailing labels (5160) and stick up around your neighborhood.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

As an ICU physician, frankly as a human being, I am devastated by the murder of Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse who'd dedicated his life to caring for veterans.
A stand up guy, trying to protect people being terrorized by Trump's goons.
Republican lawmakers need to wake up and stop this madness.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky.
“It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

#DecarbonizetheOR day 4
Teamwork makes the dream work. You asked for a one-pager on building an OR Green Team? (oh, you didn’t?) …well here’s one anyway. #MedSky #GreenSky #surgery
(also I realize day 4 is like a month after day 3. . .cut me some slack)

Laughing gas is no laughing matter, it’s legit terrible for the environment. And if you’re still using desflurane it's def time to move on from that relationship. #MedSky #GreenSky #SignalBoost #surgery #anesthesia

Day 2 of #DecarbonizetheOR.
Your mom was right. You should turn off the lights. And the anesthesia machines and computer monitors at the end of the day. It could save the planet. #MedSky #GreenSky #SignalBoost #surgery

Where my surgeons at?
Sick of how hot the planet is becoming? Psst, your OR's HVAC system could be part of the problem. It's an easy fix that will probably take a couple of emails and will save your hospital money. #MedSky #GreenSky #SignalBoost

Wow: “If you grow an acre of corn, it will produce 900 gallons of ethanol, which will get you about 25,000 miles for a Ford F-150...which is, not bad I guess. But let’s say we put solar on that same acre. It will produce enough electricity every year to drive my Lightning 550,000 miles.”
