Formerly ‘Dr Lo Ke’ in the bad place - Resurrected my high school AIM screen name in honor of simpler times 👯‍♀️

Urban underserved internal medicine hospitalist here for the current events banter ☕️

So are we saving democracy here or what? 🇺🇸

I recently met a member of the Catholic clergy who was very kind, has fought for liberal causes for decades. But I found it a bit odd that they use Medicaid. As in- the Catholic Church is tax exempt, but their employees are using a (scarce) gvt resource for healthcare 🤔 #journalism #healthcare

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.
South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'
A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Charlie Kirk treated gratitude like it’s a hate crime.

Twitter is bursting with posts about "leftists celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk!".

Lol. They wish.

Truth is, they are butthurt because... we kinda don't give a shit. He was like an annoying background noise crying for attention. Not worth the hate.

And *that* is what really angers them.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

You know, Europe has lots of Democratic Socialists in their parliaments. Oh and free national healthcare.

Three ER visits. 20 hours of suffering. Two ultrasounds to prove a fetus had died. Nevaeh Crain was 18. Texas law killed her. Abortion bans chilled doctors into inaction. Now she’s gone.

The city is big enough for two statues of half-Italian Harry Caray.

Also, can we put up statues of Frances Xavier Cabrini, Florence Scalia, and Enrico Fermi in a deal to place the Balbo Column behind glass in the Chicago History Museum or the Art Institute?

Dear World,

Don’t visit us unless you absolutely have to.

This is a dreadful situation.

We’re all embarrassed and disgusted.

Sincerely,

A disgusting new level of propaganda.

Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies.

Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.
