Hey Sacramento PD, stop stealing all of my patients stuff - including their medications - and throwing it away.
I'm really sick and tired of our folks not being able to find them because of sweeps and then when we do, they haven't had their medications in weeks because y'all threw them away.

I know it’s not the point here but the delusional belief that body cameras make anyone safer has repeatedly been shown to be false, and more people need to know that the only thing body cameras do is increase law enforcement budgets. I’d hope the Senate minority leader would know how to get informed

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.
Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.
Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

There are many people willing to do whatever it takes to become the 2028 Democratic nominee and it's all of our job to convince them that going full Vlad the Impaler against the Republican Party is the best way to secure our primary vote.

dems refusing to dump the filibuster in 2009 despite massive pressure from their base feels like the first in a string of many times over the coming 17 years that the activist base would be right and dem electeds would be wrong, and every time it was to disastrous results

Obamacare is great but it certainly doesn't help its legacy that the healthcare systems in this country are still an absolute cluster fuck for many. Not *really* Obama's fault I suppose but people will naturally wonder why is this shit still so busted.

One thing I think would be really valuable for more of the public to understand is that more testing in medicine is not the same as thoroughness or more useful information. Not every deviation from a normal range is pathological. Not all biomarkers are established as clinically informative.
Since @cbsnews.com hired functional medicine quack Mark Hyman as a health commenter: If you wonder what functional medicine is, I riffed on a Mitchell & Webb homeopathy sketch to describe it as reams of useless tests in one hand, a huge invoice in the other. sciencebasedmedicine.org/functional-m...
Functional medicine: Reams of useless tests in one hand, a huge invoice in the other
"Functional medicine" preaches the "biochemical individuality" of each patient, which is why one of its key features is that its practitioners order reams of useless lab tests and then try to correct

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.
The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

Two cities under siege
Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

On Oct 4, Border Patrol agent, Charles Exum, shot Martinez five times resulting in seven wounds, & later bragged “put that in your book boys” in a text message.
Even though charges were dropped against Martinez, she is described to this day on the Homeland Security website as a “domestic terrorist”
