One of your first votes in Congress was to amplify a known lie about our nation’s free elections that incited a riot that killed a Capitol Police officer.
There’s no crawling back from that with a hashtag. You brought shame to our delegation and the district you represent.
Proud to #BackTheBlue from the halls of Congress on #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay

New Mich. hospital data: Of people admitted with COVID, 70% were alive and home 60 days later.
Of those who'd been working, 40% either lost their job or were still too sick to work.
It's not just the deaths; it's the health and economic damage.

When someone from an underrepresented group is willing to talk about their experiences, we need to realize that it is not us helping them by listening, but rather them helping us by sharing.

America does not suffer from scarcity, America suffers from greed. By asking Wall Street to pay a small financial transaction tax, we can cancel all $1.6 trillion of student loan debt over a period of ten years. #cancelstudentdebt

If you worry that there isn't much light in the world, think about this: people volunteer 19 million hours every year to care for the dying in #hospice. And that's just the formal stuff we know about. #pedpc #hpm nhpco.org/press-room/press-r… (1)

Dr. Toni Miles, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Georgia, has studied grief for more than a decade and looks at it as a public health issue. Grief can affect a person's health and mortality, and Miles hopes her research will influence... nextavenue.org/bereavement-r…

Documentation matters to the experience of patients and families. Take care when using words like "aggressive" or "troubled" - this influences how other providers treat people. #SWHPN19 #hpm #palliative

“The dying are our teachers. I was taught that the room of a dying patient is a sacred place, a place you must enter without an agenda and with an openness to mystery.” @DieterDieterk52, hospice physician of the year. #hpm19

Regarding domain 7, “care of patient nearing the EOL,” I like the idea of reframing conversations from “are you interested in hospice” to “hospice is the best care possible for this stage...” Would take excellent communication and trust building up to that point. #hpm19

What is most concerning is the specific kind of data that Turnitin has specialized in collecting: student intellectual property. And that they’ve made deals with public educational institutions, which help collect more data, while Turnitin sells access to that data back to them.
