20yrs as a Family Physician working with the underserved. Healthcare is a right. I’ll always talk about ADHD, my multiple hobbies, or single-payer healthcare. Horses and books are my sanity. Proud🇵🇷

Our top story: “Bitcoin miners in general, if you map out across the United States, this is my opinion, are taking advantage of small rural communities that don’t have the wherewithal to fight back.”
Crypto's Cryptic Texas Takeover
State regulators don't want you to know about the 60-plus Bitcoin mines guzzling public water and electricity—even though consumers are already paying the price.

ATC Needs to be able to strike.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

My first pair of socks but I’m about to lose yarn chicken. #showmeyourknits. Anyone have recommendations for DK sock yarn to make socks for Alaska winters or fishing in cold streams with waders.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Yup, primary all of them until they call for Schumer’s ousting as leader.
Of course he knew! They think they were being cute with the shuffling of the chairs so retiring Senators and those not up in 2026 were the ones that voted for it.
He thinks we’re all idiots.

What they need to learn from Mamdani is that if you actually listen to your constituents, commit to fighting for them and their needs vs. selling out to corporate interests and the oligarchs, you can take on anybody.

I feel bad for my colleagues who can’t do the very basic OB care I do automatically every day. I’ve got strong family ties to Iowa but I’d rather fly thousands of miles ti work every month than work in a state where there are abortion restrictions.
The laws have put doctors under increasing pressure, complicating the standard medical treatments for miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, premature membrane rupture, and other pregnancy problems. These laws are driving much-needed doctors from certain states.

Iowa doesn't have enough OB-GYNs. Is the state's abortion ban part of the problem?
Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame.

Part of the transition from conservatism to authoritarianism is the shift from lies with some veneer of plausibility (wink wink) to lies that are demonstrably, obviously lies, such that accepting them involves an almost total subjugation of individual discernment or judgment.
