“They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I don’t say that with any hyperbole, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

Clearly no one in this administration has ever read a book in their lives.
Donald Trump just announced the creation of the “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” with “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.”

"As parents, we need to accept two realities: First, this is happening to our children. If your child hasn’t been touched by this, at the rate we are going, they certainly will be."
My daughter spent hours in a bathroom this weekend as we waiting for the lockdown to be over.

“The one thing that gave me comfort was, like, statistically, it’s practically impossible for this to ever happen to me again. And clearly, we’re getting to a point where no one can say that anymore.”
At least two of the Brown University students who were on campus when a deadly shooting unfolded there on Saturday have survived school shootings before. “What I’ve been feeling most is just, like, how dare this country allow this to happen to someone like me twice?”
2 Students at Brown Witnessed School Shootings as Children
Both women said the shooting on Saturday had damaged a sense of security they had cultivated for years based on the notion that they were unlikely to witness two school shootings in one lifetime.

Why is "My Favorite Things" considered a holiday song? It's not about the holidays, the movie is not about the holidays, the song isn't sung during a holiday... or even during a snowstorm.

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

"Every living former U.S. Surgeon General, across both parties, has already called for the secretary’s removal. So have dozens of major medical associations. Congress— especially the Senate that confirmed him — must now decide whether to intervene."

"This exclusion... risks undermining the nation’s ability to prepare practitioners who protect and promote the health of all populations. At a time when threats to public health are escalating, leaving out the very degrees that train our frontline leaders is both short-sighted and dangerous."
This is designed to tank public health & primary care by excluding public health professions, advanced nursing practice, physical & occupational therapy from loans that can cover the cost of education. This is going to make an existing workforce crisis worse.
