As a #medical professional and former #EMT this is gravely concerning. #Portland #ICE agents threatened to shoot and arrest #paramedics trying to leave the ICE facility with a patient. Agents intentionally stood in front of the #ambulance preventing departure. When the #paramedic put the ambulance in park and released the brake, it lurched forward an inch. Federal agents stormed the ambulance screaming at the crew. In addition to the verbal #threats, an unmarked state vehicle followed the ambulance to the #hospital.

ICE is now #aggressive to medical professionals. There is no going back once crossing this line. It's not a mistake and it's unforgivable. You don't fucking do this.

They have officially earned my wrath.

For-Profit Corporations Are Buying Up More Psychiatric Hospitals. Some Flout Federal Law With Scarce Repercussions.

Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.

Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.

Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

“We should invest in small, affordable vehicles.

We will propose to work with industry on a new Small Affordable Cars initiative.

The future of cars - and the cars of the future - must be made in Europe.”

— President von der Leyen will hold tomorrow the third Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the European Automotive Industry.

The dialogue is a continuation of our commitment to safeguarding the future of a sector that is vital to European prosperity.

@EUCommission

The future of #cars is to NOT be individually owned, and to be a last resort means of transportation.

Reducing drastically the share cars take in our transportation, the space they take when parked in our #cities, the #hospital beds they fill with #roadCasualties, is vital to our #climate, our #wellbeing and our #health.

We should invest in #rail and #bike #infrastructure, and not replace 260 million cars by as many e-cars.

Two months ago my elderly neighbour fell and broke her pelvis. She managed to crawl inside to the phone, but it took five hours for an ambulance to arrive. Five hours!

Once in Dunedin Hospital she spent two days in the A&E corridor because there were no beds available in the wards.

Our public health system was much better than this, not so very long ago.

A friend had a 12 hour wait recently, including having to wait outside in the cold because there was not enough seating inside and there were 77 people in the ED already. Upon being seen they could only prescribe painkillers and said go home and come back if it gets worse. "And wait another 12 hours?" "Yes, sorry". Now has to wait for a doctor's appointment to get referred to a specialist while in excruciating pain, taking panadol for pain releif, earliest appointment is in two weeks, all other doctors are in the same boat.

(Thread of #warcrimes against #HealthSector of #Gaza by #IsraelTerroristState)

Israel bombed the main #hospital in southern Gaza on Monday and then struck the same spot again as rescuers and #journalists rushed to help the wounded, killing at least 20 people including five journalists.

The first strike hit the top floor of a building at the Nasser hospital, killing the Reuters journalist Hussam al-Masri and others. Journalists and rescuers then rushed to the scene to help the wounded, when a second bomb struck the same spot, 15 minutes later.

#Israel has regularly struck #hospitals, claiming without evidence that Hamas uses them for military purposes. It also regularly kills journalists in #Gaza, on some occasions with the justification that the journalists were associated with #Hamas – claims that journalistic bodies have described as baseless.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/25/journalists-among-people-killed-by-israeli-strike-on-gaza-hospital

An Israeli soldier posted an Instagram story showing the Spike system and a video of the strike, captioned: “die motherfucker, die.” The post reinforces that the strike was intentional, not accidental.

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage
—

A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.
