As someone who has had a good number of accidents lately, I'm packing in red wine in my go bag.
This is so very French
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

This is exactly why California is putting out our own, science-backed vaccine recommendations through the West Coast Health Alliance.
We're not going to let the Trump Administration's recklessness put our residents in harm's way.

Monarez: "He did not have any data or science to point to. In fact, we got into an exchange where I suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. He responded there was no science or evidence associated w/the childhood vaccine schedule"

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Now @gavinnewsom.bsky.social do Goebbels a tribute.
Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Trump, his family, associates and anyone else making $$$ off this must have their assets and accounts frozen so that it can be clawed back once their are found to have been illegally obtained. Or, when a civil suit is won against them, the money be given to the US Treasury.
Your reminders:
Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering.
Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch.
This is just another Trump family scam.

#MedSky I'm in Paramedic training. I really want to help folks. When RFK Jr put vax availability in question, I'm starting to question it. If things get better, great. If they don't folks will need me more in my rural area. I'm a vet & fmr bureau agent. It's been rough all around. Advice welcomed.

Just saw Rep. Haley Stevens (D) MI on Psaki. I looked up her record and statements. Here's what I found important to me:
1. Self described "centrist" - nope
2. Supports Israel's actions in Gaza & has AIPAC support - nope
3. Supported ICE's actions in LA and said so on the floor - nope

As US population level health data becomes ever-more unreliable … we are proud to unveil a new resource for families, policy makers, and healthcare providers @yalesph.bsky.social
America's health data system is fragmented, outdated, and hard to access. This slows the response to emerging health threats. PopHIVE unites diverse partners and data in one location, creating a solution for improved public health data for action.
