The ICU where Alex Pretti worked had a little ceremony to honor him.

Their names have been redacted but the people he abused haven't been; they've stood up and told their stories and we should be listening closer, even if it is uncomfortable to do so. "We should not value our schadenfreude more than their courage." 🎯🎯🎯🎯 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

Empty podiums and rooms for some good talks at the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association conference because many VA clinicians, researchers, and educators were either furloughed or not funded for travel. Thanks legislative branch, you suck (you too executive branch, tbh).

Climate refugees need official designation as such and additional federal and international aid accordingly. We all made this problem and it's going to get worse.

And hey, if you hadn't heard yet, duckduckgo allows you to turn off AI search results and now allows users to filter out AI image results:
Screenshot of text that reads: "DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out Al-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online.
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated Al-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin's Huge Al Blocklist, to detect and suppress Al-generated imagery.
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to Al-generated material.

The face of spineless cowardice. Double dealing, fence-sitting, heartless cowardice. It all makes me sick. I wish her all the worst.

So, he thinks it's ok that masked men are pulling our neighbors off the street & deporting them to countries they aren't even from, but bitching about the judges who allowed it is too far? How's this, him and his buddies are fascist enabling fucking cowards and I wish them the worst.
Article with the title "Chief Justice Roberts warns against heated political words about judges" and a picture of him holding his hands up to demonstrate how he likes to play with Trump's balls because he's a coward of a judge.

It seems that ICE — or some other masked & armed people in unmarked vehicles stopping & questioning people — have been around Anchorage at Walmart, Fred Meyer, & Home Depot. Are APD cooperating? Has @alaskapublic.org, @alaskabeacon.com, @adn.com asked the Mayor if she’s cooperating w/ ICE to kidnap?
A photo I got from someone whose name I won’t disclose of a masked and armed federal agent with a vest in learning into a car outside of what appears to me to be Walmart A photo I got from someone in Anchorage whose name I won’t disclose of a masked and armed federal agent wearing glasses with a vest that says POLICE glaring at the person taking the photo and standing next to another indiscernible person. No badges are visible, no names. Both appear to be white men and they’re wearing black gloves. A photo I got from someone in Anchorage whose name I won’t disclose of 2 armed federal agents in vests, and a third man who looks similar but has no vest on, in a midtown parking lot. The two who are visible are white men with beards. One of the vest-wearing men has very ill-fitting pants, as is common with misogynists who follow abusers like Andrew Tate or Connor McGregor A group of bearded white men in a parking lot, one holding what appears to be a semi-automatic rifle, at least two wearing vests that say POLICE. One is wearing a mask over half his face. Baseball caps appear to be part of this ICE uniform.

So, how have general strikes been organized in the past? There must be some semblance of a blueprint; because we need it quickly.

sure, the world is going up in flames, there's unrest in the streets, and America has become a global punchline, but at least Trump voters made the handful of trans athletes in the country feel extra bad

Politicization of murder is dangerous no matter the politics and it all pales in comparison to a mother's willingness to sacrifice everything for her daughter. 💔

‘We learned the hard way’: Samoa remembers a deadly measles outbreak and a visit from RFK Jr
A few months before the outbreak in 2019, Kennedy travelled to Samoa and met with anti-vaccine figures, contributing to what health experts claim was a ‘significant disinformation campaign’

Several patients last week w/ missing family members; the prevalence of this tragedy is staggering. Many women but many men as well. Parents grieving their adult children missing for decades; children grieving their missing aunties or uncles.😞 We should all be outraged www.aknwrc.org/resources/ak...

Supreme Court sets ethics standards to which they all agree then the conservative justices shot down any mechanism to enforce those ethical guidelines because it could compromise their independence... Wut? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/u...

Inside the Supreme Court Justices’ Ethics Debate
In private meetings and memos, the justices made new rules for themselves — then split on whether they could, or should, be enforced.

Was called an "unpatriotic vet" today and I guess I can't deny it but it's not because of the low quality of the country but because of the high quality of the people I've known who needlessly died for it.
