I'm so proud of, and inspired by, the courage and integrity of my husband @davidmirandario. When we met 14 years ago, I knew he had a special capacity to touch the world. To watch him doing that now, under such difficult circumstances, in Brazil's Congress, is so moving:
This article is great but the video @TIME made about @davidmirandario really captures his spirit, courage, & the passion and importance of his work. There are now several young leaders with similar backgrounds as David in Brazil & that's what gives me hope time.com/collection-pos…
Here's the beautiful and compelling video @TIME, when naming @davidmirandario one of the 10 young new global leaders, made about David, in which he candidly discusses the fears he had in entering Congress in Bolsonaro's Brazil but also his reasons for so much hope & inspiration:

Whatever one's view of him, Lula is a giant on the world stage. He left office with 86% approval. From a background of extreme deprivation, he lifted millions out of poverty. He's one of the few to use leftism to defeat neoliberalism & right-wing extremism. Well worth hearing:
Brazil is the world's fifth most-populous country, with vast oil reserves & the planet's most vital environmental asset - the Amazon - now under threat. Lots of valid critiques of Lula - which I asked him a lot about - but we fought for a year to interview him & it was worth it.
And the Brazilian judiciary still owes an explanation why they spent all of 2018 barring us and others from interviewing Lula during the election - even when the most dangerous drug lords can be interviewed in prison - and now are suddenly authorizing this with the election over.

We have 4 amazing puppies we're eagerly trying to find homes for before taking them to our @abrigo_hope shelter: 2 who are 4 weeks old & miraculously survived separated from their mother, the other 2 who are 3 months: all separated in the Rio storm. Healthy, vaccinated & free:
When people want new dogs, they often think about puppies. But they're a lot of work: endless energy, need training, want to run constantly. Older dogs can actually make even better companisions: already mature, wise, loving. We have dozens. Check some out abrigohope.org/animais-resgat…
Almost every mid-size or even small town has shelters. Pay a visit. You'll be amazed at how the right dog will pick you. Adopting an older dog - traditionally much harder to adopt - can be so gratifying (and easier for those worried about responsibilities) cesarsway.com/7-reasons-to-a…

Yes, MSNBC host @NicolleDWallace - who was doing messaging work for Bush/Cheney when their DOJ was run by John Ashcroft and John Yoo justifying the most grotesque crimes on the ground that the President is omnipotent & immune from law - is profoundly worried about DOJ integrity:
Trump is not the inventor of an omnipotent presidency immune from law. He's the inheritor of that model, built over decades by both parties. Many of us spent years warning its advocates that one day these powers would be wielded by someone they didn't like washingtonpost.com/posteverything…
Particularly since 9/11, both parties have joined to construct a model of the executive utterly foreign to the founding: one of omnipotence, lawlessness, and unaccountability. The *last* people with the credibility to object are Bush WH & DOJ officials: glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2006/01/ideolo…

1. Now y'all know I have a problem with the leadership of the #Brexit movement. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they lie constantly and they never know what they're talking about. From WTO rules to EU border controls, they haven't a clue between them.
2. When confronted on TV they offer up empty mantras about believing in Britain or postulate that german car makers will come racing to the rescue. Always with the view that it will be alright on the night. Never any credible answers.
3. They also have some pretty daft ideas. Especially, but not exclusively, the lexiters. They seem to think that a split from the EU gives them carte blanche to do as they please without any reference to the international ramifications.

Am I allowed to be outraged by this, or does that make me "antisemitic" ?

- Video of a Palestinian child being assaulted by Israeli police this morning.
By @syedakif17

Isreali goons dressed in uniforms violating basic human rights of Palestinians 24/7.

Constitution of Israel is based on Talmud where Goyims have no rights.

If a Zionist kill anyone, he's not to be punished, he's owns gentiles.

This month I revisit #COURAGE. The ultimate conversation starter among @JAMAInternalMed readers and interventional cardiologists. #CQOSpotlight

Quick someone tweet a concerning angiogram cine and ask if anyone else would refer a specific stable CAD patient to OMT!!
𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: The #COURAGE investigators provide longer survival follow-up on subset of the original study cohort to evaluate how the number of coronary lesions vs. amount of ischemia is prognostic for patients with stable CAD. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
The subset of patients received both quantitative coronary angiograms (QCA) and stress (SPECT) perfusion imaging.

Soonyoung shattered.

"Jihoonie!" Soonyoung sobbed hard, wrapping his arms around Jihoon and pulling him close in a blink of an eye. He buried his face into Jihoon's neck as his whole body shook violently, sobs completely wrecking him. "J-Jihoonie, Ji— Jihoon! Jihoonie, J-Ji—"
Soonyoung was sobbing uncontrollably; he kept coughing in between in his sobs, having a hard time breathing as he held onto Jihoon tighter.

"J-Ji— Jihoon," Soonyoung choked out, voice sounding painfully raw and strained but still, he kept calling one name over and over again.
Jihoon held back his own sobs and wrapped his arms tighter around the other, wishing that his hug could mend the broken pieces together and prevent Soonyoung from shattering even more.

"J-Jihoo— hoonie," Soonyoung brokenly cried, pressing his face further onto the other's neck.
