Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

You can ignore the science, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring the science.

Are you pregnant and taking or have taken ANY preventive #migraine medications? Consider joining the VYEPTI Pregnancy Registry! This pregnancy registry is a research study that collects information about the possible effects of certain migraine medications on pregnant women, and their developing fetuses through the first year of the baby’s life. You can help advance research for migraine treatments during pregnancy. You may also be able to join even if you are not taking VYEPTI. You'll be asked to record your medication use in a diary throughout the pregnancy and have periodic check-ins through the first year of the baby’s life.

Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA. To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness. What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country. Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

Please read this statement from the parents of VA ICU nurse Alexander Pretti, who was murdered yesterday by Border Patrol agents.

This video, presented by Dr Faraidoon Haghdoost, Social Media Editor of Cephalalgia, discusses the paper titled: Early treatment in migraine – A call to shift prevention from attacks to disease progression: A position statement from the International Headache Society. The message is clear: migraine prevention should begin early, long before disability becomes severe. By shifting from reacting to attacks toward protecting long-term brain health, early preventive treatment can improve quality of life and potentially change the natural course of migraine.

.@DrMakaryFDA @FDACBER @SecKennedy, we MUST remember those who have died/are dying/will die from HORRIFIC 100% FATAL MILITARY SERVICE-RELATED #ALS Navy vet Matt Bellina, ALSFRS-R 21, wheelchair-bound, choked eating, needed BiPAP. After 7 NurOwn doses via Right to Try: +6 pts to 27, stood unassisted (arms-free after 2 yrs), no choking, breathed independently, speech/swallow improved, lung capacity +23%, core/arm strength up! Despite these UNPRECEDENTED benefits, @BellinaMatthew & ALL with ALS have been left to die. @BrainstormCell @Cylebo MUST meet @MartyMakary @VPrasadMDMPH about Accelerated Approval of SAFE & EFFECTIVE #NurOwn We MUST STOP CONDEMNING these heroes to die WITHOUT HOPE. While we delay, veterans are dying. 1 in 6 ALS deaths are veterans – this alone deserves URGENT ACTION from Congress We cannot stand idly while those who served our country are abandoned by the very system meant to protect them. I urge the new @US_FDA leadership to grant #Nurown the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher Program #CNPV Honor our veterans' sacrifices by fighting for their right to life. Veteran organizations & currently healthy veterans MUST join the fight to END MILITARY SERVICE RELATED #ALS. Veterans have a 2X to 10X ⬆️ ALS risk depending on military occupation For veterans with HORRIFIC #ALS today & the MANY who will be diagnosed, we MUST END the CRUEL @FDACBER regulatory RIGIDITY for 100% FATAL #ALS Veterans' voices are among the most powerful in this fight. We MUST END 156 years of hopelessness that disproportionately affects military veterans. HOW MANY MORE HAVE TO BURY LOVED ONES before 100% FATAL ALS (since 1st identified in 1869) is treated with the same URGENCY & regulatory flexibility as cancer treatments? @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @RobertKennedyJr @HASCRepublicans @HASCDemocrats @SASCGOP @SASCDems @HouseVetAffairs @VetAffairsDemson @SVACGOP @SVACDems @BipartisanVets @RepAndyHarrisMD @RepDonBacon @SenatorWicker @DrNealDunnFL2 @RepDanCrenshaw @RepMMM @RepJames @RepGuthrie @RepJackBergman @RepVanOrden @RepKiggans @RepAbeHamadeh @VernBuchanan @SenJimBanks @RogerMarshallMD @sentuberville
