[NYSNA @nynurses]

BREAKING: Today, NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals and 3 Long Island Northwell Health hospitals delivered 10-day notices to strike. NYSNA will continue to bargain between now and January 12th in the hopes of reaching agreements.

An extreme neoliberal, pro-privatization, anti-welfare, and firmly right-wing, María Corina Machado is one of Venezuela’s most outspoken Zionists, having written a letter to Netanyahu urging Israel to bomb and invade her own country (after a decade of calling on the U.S. to do the same).The Nobel Peace Prize is a complete joke

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

1/ Let’s be clear about which side you’re on if you oppose Venezuela’s elected govt: ISRAEL’S SIDE

I’m getting angry responses to my Venezuela reporting from ppl who purport to be pro-Palestine yet repeat lies about Venezuela promoted by the same media justifying genocide on Gaza.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's so wild how every few years the US just casually tries to install a coup regime in the oil-rich nation of Venezuela and the western political-media class treats this as perfectly normal. And then they'll have the gall to shriek about "election interference" if some Russians make some Facebook memes about a presidential race. Really says a lot about how evil, entitled, supremacist and stupid western civilization is.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

CIR members stand with the 7,000 @nynurses on strike today fighting for safe working conditions and safe patient care conditions.

We cannot do our jobs without safe staffing levels and livable wages. @MountSinaiNYC and @MontefioreNYC, choose #PatientsOverProfits

[Sandy Nurse @SandyforCouncil]

Reminder that NYC hospital executives make around $5-12 million annually with salary, bonuses and perks. Nurses who do the business of saving lives average around ~$40-60 per hour.

We spoke out, we stood up, we persisted, and we won.

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

We're giving our official notice today that we are planning to engage in an unfair labor practice strike in @CountyofLA. But we are still hopeful that we can avert this possibility and we urge the County to do the right thing. #Care4USLA

(for healthcare friends, i just learned that mandala scrubs are 33% of figs prices, comfortable, and great quality)

[Chris @ChicoFreedom]

i graduated med school without a single pair of figs. just scrubs from goodwill, hospital locker rooms, and amazon. idk how y’all afford $90 designer scrubs
