There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

An intervention with a NNT of 20 for mortality costs negative dollars, involves taking fewer pills, and has 0 side effects.

The intervention is stopping aspirin in patients with chronic CAD (including stents >6 mo old) who take an oral anticoagulant.

One of my most common practices on day 1 of service is changing all the diets to regular
pulmcrit.bsky.social
be kind and give your patients a REGULAR DIET

caffeine-free diets ➡️ caffeine withdrawal

sodium-restricted diets aren't evidence-based (use diuretics to balance volume)

treat hyperglycemia with insulin (not by artificially restricting carbs)

(renal diet for hyperkalemic renal failure = exception)

I know medical people don’t like to be political, but this is happening in a city where an international medical conference will occur in just over two weeks.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Trump comments on the opposition: "I  thought [I] would be met with fury on the left, but they're sort of giving up."

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

One of my goals is to help people identify RV dysfunction

Working with an exceptional group of Peds intensivists, we show the relationship of VExUS (and portal vein Doppler alone) with echocardiographic RV-PA coupling
