Gonna be an asshole here:

Anyone who voted for Trump and his merry band of fascist assholes, and now says “I didn’t know!”, is either a complete idiot, or a liar.

He fucking told y’all what he was gonna do. The Republican plan to help him literally destroy our country as we know it was publicly released last summer. Nearly all serving Repubs in Congress have openly supported all of this for the last few years. This is EXACTLY what people voted for. If they didn’t know, it’s because they knew.

To everyone who went out today to protest — strong work! You got NBC and CNN to finally cover it, and they are now listing the attendance as “millions”. Fuck yeah.

We fucking told you. These lunatics won’t stop until women have no rights.

For all the people without a uterus in here — when someone is having a miscarriage, unless it is very late in pregnancy, we tell them to take ibuprofen and acetaminophen and send them home. We don’t make any provision for what to do with “fetal remains”, because early on they just look like clots. This whole fetals remains bullshit is insanity.

At risk of doxxing myself here, my “I’m so sorry you had a miscarriage” speech is basically:
1. I’m really sorry
2. This is extremely common. I’ll see another patient or two today with the same concern
3. Most of the time it says nothing about you or your health, or your future ability to have a normal pregnancy
4. Early pregnancy is very complicated. Things can and often do go wrong, no matter who you are or what you do
5. We all don’t talk about this enough
6. I’m really sorry

Hey assholes — I see a miscarriage most shifts. Some days I see two or three. They happen ALL THE TIME.

Stop fucking assuming every woman who loses a pregnancy is aborting it intentionally. First off, they probably aren’t. Second, it’s none of your goddamn motherfucking business. Third, if you’re so sure these are all humans, give the mom some fucking space to process the loss.

Buncha fucking guys whose wives never talk to them about the miscarriages they have had. Says a lot.

Running proposed medical research studies through IRB is about to get more exciting. I’ve never had to put a “what happens if the grant goes up in smoke in the middle” section in, but folks will need to start considering that. There is a huge ethical problem with starting people on a trial intervention (for instance, new cancer drug), only to suddenly stop all treatment, follow up, and data collection. How does one plan for that?!?

In case anyone didn’t know, Dr. Oz, the guy congress just put in charge of our healthcare system in the US, is the literal example real doctors use when making jokes about bad medicine. “Well, Dr. Oz said…” is a fucking punchline.

Many of the precision machine tools needed to build more machine tools to build stuff in factories were shipped overseas decades ago. There are things we are hard pressed to make, that you need to even be able to start to build a factory in the US. Can it be done? Sure. Is it expensive? Also sure. Not going to happen in 4 years. Not going to be cheap. Done wholesale with no regard for other economic forces at play, it seems like the kind of move more likely to shutter existing factories.

If y’all think healthcare supply shortages were bad in 2020, go look up who makes nitrile gloves and where.

People have and can criticize Sen. Booker, but he will now forever be known as the guy that broke a racist shitbag’s filibuster record. Now let’s forget the name of that racist shitbag and remember the longest single-senator filibuster in US history by Corey Booker.

One day, I hope, the individual people who ordered, executed, and witnessed the destruction of 5 ambulances, 1 UN vehicle, and a fire truck, in Gaza, will be held accountable. One day, I hope, their names will be known, so we can all shame them.

They struck a group of emergency vehicles, then crushed them and tried to bury them. They knew exactly what they were hitting. Fuck them all.

Another day, another bunch of teens injured or killed because someone got angry at a house party.

Pro-tip for your teens: if someone has a gun at a party, GET THE FUCK OUT.

Some of the worst calls I’ve reviewed, received, or run, started this way. In highschool, multiple kids had a bad time this way in my town. If a kid is flashing the gun he stole from his parents, leave. Get up and get the fuck out of there. The dead kids are often not the intended target.

Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahaaa*wheeeeeeeze*ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

Oh man, so the Signalgate nonsense burned an Israeli human intel asset in Yemen. See, this is funny because in 2016-2020 Trump’s leaks seems to have burned many of our assets, so we’re having to use Mossad’s, and now those genocidal fucks just lost a spy. Such a great example and so goddamn amazing at the same time. Fuck ‘em all.

Still blows my mind every time someone blows up a story about a scandalous watch worn by some government official. Like yeah, the expensive watch raises questions, but also, how the everloving fuck does a watch become $50,000, and how does someone end up buying it?

Some of y’all forgot that guys wearing no identification, driving rented unmarked minivans, kidnapped Americans off the streets in Portland in 2020, and it shows.

It’s fall 2020. People are dying left and right. Me and my staff all have PTSD. I watch a charge nurse rip a cop up one side and down the other because he won’t wear a goddamn mask.

Now ICE is wearing masks to hide from us all. Assholes wouldn’t mask up to save lives, but they’ll use them to hide from us while they kidnap people.

@hannu_ikonen all I’m sayin’ is, if I were carrying concealed and saw this shit go down the way it did in that grad student’s case today, I’d be certain it was a violent kidnapping and respond accordingly.

GOP: “We need safeguard to keep this from happening, and I’m sure they all learned something”.

Assholes, there are safeguards. That’s why it is ILLEGAL to share classified info on an unsecured private device using an unapproved chat service, with people who don’t have a clearance.

This is also why each of these fuckheads should have gone through the same training every other person with a clearance is supposed to complete.

The safeguard is put them in jail for such gross negligence.

A recent lawsuit filed against United Airlines also has this tidbit — when the plaintiff was removed from the aircraft by US CBP officers, he allegedly asked why he was being handcuffed, to which the CBP officers responded “This isn’t state or county, this is homeland. You have no rights here.”

Anyway, a happy Fuck You CBP day, to all who celebrate.

Y’all, do me a solid. Read this. Then send it to every fucking American you know. If you’re on Facebook, send it to Aunt Karen in Oklahoma and your cross-wearing cousin Rick in Wisconsin. If you’re on Bsky, post the shit out of it. Wherever. Just make us all look at it.
