Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that.
We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

You know what, shitbird? I have an idea. What about a VACCINE?
There are several in late stages of development.
Will you promote them so we can get “children back into the woods” as you say?

These parents killed their child and we need to say it
“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust,” said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died of measles. In March, Tom Bartlett wrote about his visit with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy.

Christmas morning at Delaney Hall ICE Detention, Newark NJ.
7:30 am, 34 degrees, a mom with her baby wrapped in a blanket waits outside on a metal bench to see her husband.
There’s no indoor waiting area.
As always with Trump:
The cruelty is the point.
Merry Christmas.

Hot take: Internal medicine doctors are made for storytelling standup. I’m going to take you on a journey. Watch the orthopedic surgeon try to tell you their observational humor through SBAR like “78yo M MAGA w/ GLF s/p ORIF. LMAO” (which- fair enough- is efficient)

For several of my friends, this will be the 1st Christmas after losing a loved one. I'm sure there are some of you in the same boat.
I've been there myself, too many times. It's hard in so many ways to deal with a loss like that, especially when ppl all around you are celebrating. This is for you:

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

The Government Unconstitutionally Labels ICE Observers as Domestic Terrorists
A free country must have an absolute wall of protection for those who record government actions.

Nothing like asking career AUSAs who have been under assault for the last year, watched their colleagues get fired for no reason, and their offices taken over by incompetent boobs to volunteer their time to perpetuate a cover up of their boss's involvement w/a sex predator 🙃

America needs an Attorney General who:
1) will read a law,
2) understand what she is reading, and
3) comply with it.
That doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it?
