Pinned
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
I’ve had this pinned on that other site for a long time. Today I will pin it on BlueSky! It will remind us of how Trump’s presidency ended & that he plans to pardon those who were convicted. Such a fine example of what not to do! I’m so glad we had Biden for 4 years.

Jeez, out in the land of the red it’s foreign born doctors who are willing to take those remote postings. MAGA pisses on their feet once again.
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?
