The thing about having Clinton or any other Epstein client testify under oath is that they probably have seen Trump there. They can say that. Democrats don’t give a fuck if Bill Clinton gets jailed for being a predator, so long as he implicates every damn Republican he saw raping girls while he was. Gotta catch ‘em all.

Instead of airdropping food, drop airborne forces from every nation that has dropped food, secure the transport routes, and let the trucks through. IDF will kill “friendly” forces in isolation, but they know Israel can’t win a war.

So they gutted student loan forgiveness for working in healthcare in areas that are underserved, so that they could forgive student loans for ICE nazi recruits. Cool. Assholes.

Democrats need to get their shit together. Their brand needs to be left wing. They need to go all in on public healthcare, taxing the rich, public lands, public transportation, and getting rid of anyone who worked for ICE under Trump. They need to nominate left wing nuts to DA positions and judgeships. Stop fucking playing to the middle. The middle wants nazis until they lose their healthcare, house, and job.

We’ve known for decades that criminalzing things like overdoses leads to more deaths. If someone calls 911 for a sick friend, and everyone gets arrested, nobody calls next time.

Same is true, right now across America, in any neighborhood with immigrants. Nobody’s reporting crime or calling ambulances if ICE is going to show up and send their family or neighbor to a concentration camp.

If a law enforcement agent is using the word fuck while ordering someone to do something, they are a bad guy. Professionals don’t do that. I say fuck all the time, but I cannot recall ever using the word when speaking to a patient. If medics under my license were filmed using foul language while restraining a violent patient, it would be a problem.

Anyway, ICE is out of fucking control, and their agents are fucking nazis. Fuck ‘em all.

So some guys ICE alleges are here illegally allegedly rammed an ICE vehicle, and an ICE agent fired on their vehicle. They got away (so far).

Good. Fuck ICE.

Don’t want to get rammed? Don’t send people to a torture prison in El Salvador. Thing is, cops arresting folks goes peacefully much of the time because people think the system has some guardrails. If people think they’re gonna get sent to a death camp, they have less to lose by fighting back. FAFO.

So here it is: we’ve admitted more pulmonary emboli patients to my hospital in the last 2 weeks than at any time I can recall since about spring of 2022.

I don’t know why. Yes, I considered COVID. No, we aren’t seeing (and haven’t seen for months) some big uptick. In fact, COVID tests have been largely negative for a while.

Why am I posting this? Because a guy in China in 2019 posted about unusual conjunctivitis.

For those keeping score, Trump’s DOJ has filed to drop charges, including illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, against a Trump donor. They first fired the prosecutor who was apparently refusing to drop the charges.

So anyway, assholes with felony convictions can own guns in flagrant violation of the law if they donate to Trump. Law and order and whatnot.

Vinay Prasad was a prolific source of COVID misinformation during the peak of the hospitalizations and deaths early in the pandemic. I spent countless hours education folks who had fallen prey to his nonsense, and had to watch the fallout at bedside as real people really died because of his fake information. Fuck him. Glad he couldn’t hack it at FDA.

Right now there are hedge fund managers, CEOs, engineers, lawyers, marketing directors, and lobbyists meeting and drafting plans to make money building American Dachau. They have looked at what it costs to starve people, what regulations exist for dealing with bodies, how many people can share a mattress and if you even need mattresses. They have talked about sites, and probably have spoken to certain governors.

These people must not be allowed back into society when they are named.

Fun fact: resisting arrest is not a reason to shoot someone.

ICE agents saying that people are resisting more, so someone will get shot, are telling on themselves. It may be illegal to resist arrest, but the punishment for that crime is not firing squad, and it is settled in a court by a jury of peers. Shooting someone for resisting immigration arrest is an egregious crime by the officer. It is murder, and in this case, seemingly premeditated by the officers who are suggesting it may happen.

I wear an N-95 for all patient contacts. Today I had a younger dude with a bunch of disparate complaints check in. Saw him, ordered some labs. Added on a COVID and flu test as an afterthought. Haven’t seen COVID in 2-3 months. Anyhow, he had the ‘vid. Bunch of staff rawdogging the air in the room commented about it afterwards. Yup y’all. You might now have diarrhea, headaches, and the rest. Don’t want the disease? Wear protection.

Which side are you on? Which side are you onnnnn?

Because Nazis aren’t punk.

@brianvastag @cvvhrn primary care docs in the US are grossly underpaid. Many surgical specialists are grossly overpaid. The rest of us are paid plenty. That said, countries with universal healthcare also typically have free medical education, so docs aren’t starting a career in their 30s with $300k in debt.

Also worth noting that Canada is paying the same or more for US doctors right now.

The world was horrified by the massacre at Srebrenica in 1995. About 8,000 were killed.

IDF has killed more than ten times that number of people in Gaza.

Fuck IDF, and fuck the Israelis who back them as they starve a captive population. Just because they aren’t loading people into ovens doesn’t mean it is any different.

If you’re a physician in the US, write your speciality board and tell them they need a policy statement dealing with these unethical selfish shitbags who are refusing to care for unmarried women (or anyone else).

The American Idol supervisor and his wife, who were killed during a burglary, were killed with their own firearm.

Statistically across the US this is the pattern. You are vastly more likely to be killed with your own gun, or have someone in your family killed with it, than to use it to protect yourself from an attacker.

If your guns are in a safe, if the ammo is separated, if guns that aren’t for defense have the bolt removed, this is all less likely.

Oh good, Trump and the Republicans have weaponized Medicaid data to hunt people down. Once they do it for immigrants, what’s to stop them from doing it for people who got abortions, or have a genetic condition, or are gay, or have HIV?
