It’s not just famous for #Pringles ! 🙏⛑️
That's correct! Cincinnati was the first to introduce civilian ambulance care in the U.S. AND the first professional and fully paid fire department. Thanks for sharing a bit of our @CincyFireEMS history!

JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco. Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots. After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school. He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom. Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face. The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital. Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11. According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children. You are a hero, Kalub.

Andrew MB’s assertions that he’s entitled to special treatment from the police are frankly disgusting. Simultaneously, it’s impressive to see that the reach of the law extends to those who have behaved like they are untouchable. 🇬🇧

Once again here to remind the healthcare community that respect is paramount across all professions and that if you are a Doctor, you are a *leader* — your behaviour towards others should reflect this at all times.

Read about this in the @washingtonpost yesterday, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. @realDonaldTrump The @AmerAcadPeds (aka the EXPERTS) have some serious work on their hands.
BREAKING: Trump just claimed that shrinking the size of vaccines will reduce autism. The man is absolutely crazy! “But the vaccine size will be much, much less, and I think you're going to see a massive reduction in autism, and that's a big deal.”

Terribly sad to hear of Chad Gilbert’s passing. Many years ago I was lucky enough to party with these guys in a Camden rock bar. 45 is no age. @XChadballX @newfoundglory

As I’m putting my kids to bed this evening, I want to remind you that you matter. Believe it or not, there are people out there that are rooting for your success; people that want to see you do your best. There are resources out there if you are suffering. The world is better with you in it.

Good things come to those who wait with a splash of stoicism and resilience. That rings pretty true today. The ‘evidence’ or ‘results’ will come, but you must become comfortable with the unknown…

High time the UK Gov creates a robust task force to track down those exploiting the welfare system. We also need to focus on what people *can* do to contribute to society. Empowerment is a win-win for the individual and the economy.
This is what putting social security before national security looks like 👇

What a man. Complacency kills — 25 years on, I still don’t think the western world understands this.
Even before the 9/11 attacks, Col. Richard "Rick" Rescorla was a decorated war hero with a Silver Star from his actions in Vietnam. 25 years ago today, Rescorla saved 2,687 people and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Here’s how it happened. 🧵

Millions of homeless, children living in poverty, poor access to healthcare and THIS is what the current administration spends your tax contributions on…
