Hi Twitter! We are a group of med students that started a #decolonising the medical curriculum reading list here (https://t.co/EDJAGkkPIY) and we'd love any feedback and suggestions on this we can get from this brilliant crowd❤️ Thank you all #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #MedEd

Woke up to great news! Ghent University is cutting ALL ties with Israeli universities! 🎉
Important: All proven complicit after intense screening by the human rights committee! A human rights victory after months of protests, student occupation and an exam surveillance strike ♥️

[Dr Anna Harvey Bluemel she/her 🌱🌿 (views mine) @a_c_harvey_b]

Victory! Ghent University is finally severing ties with Israeli universities (producing military equipment used in Gaza!). Thanks to months of pressure, intense student and staff protests, and finally our students' occupation. 👏

he has more courage and moral clarity than a single person in the @UChicago administration. they should divest and resign. in that order.

Interested in UCL Action for Palestine? Want to get more involved?

I don’t ever want to hear anyone say that the US & UK couldn’t intervene on the genocide in Palestine again.

This fundraiser is personal to one of the admins on this page. This is far from ideal but it's the main way we have to try for safety for Islam + her family in Gaza.

Friends ! We've set up a fundraiser for a family in Gaza
Would appreciate if you could at least share and if possible, donate

Nearly all decisions being made for the care of young trans people are at this point being made for the purpose of political votes

Trans people in general are having their rights to gender affirming care increasingly erased

The silence of the medical profession is a betrayal

[Jews Against White Supremacy @JAWS_2023]

Absolute solidarity with UCL students protesting the university’s complicity in the settler colonial genocide 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

No class as usual in a complicit university!!

[Dr Jo Hartland 🏳️‍⚧️🍉 @drjohartland]

Given the statement of the @AoMRC on so-called conversion therapy practices (aligning with the global UN consensus) I’m disappointed to see the @rcgp associating itself in this manner with those who support abuse

Grateful for the actions of #PrideRCGP and expect prompt results

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

All eyes on Gaza, all eyes on Rafah, on Palestine. The genocide is escalating. This horrific mass murder and starvation must be our focus.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Palestinians risked life & limb to reach Rafah, the last designated safe zone in Gaza.

Now they are being told to leave. Where are they supposed to go?

This is not an “evacuation.” This is ethnic cleansing — and our government is complicit by letting Israel act with impunity.

[Decolonising the Medical Curriculum @DecolonisingMed]

Encourage anyone with @rcgp membership to raise why a transphobic conference was booked in the first place. Shocked that @ClareGerada is a conference speaker, standing alongside psychs whose whole work focuses on preventing gender affirming care.

[Trans Safety Network @trans_safety]

We're still waiting to hear news from @rcgp on how they intend to address concerns about conversion therapists holding an event in their conference centre and using trust in their credibility to confer legitimacy on to the conversion therapists.

[Trans Safety Network @trans_safety]

Trans Safety Network have discovered that the Royal College of General Practitioners (@rcgp) Conference Centre has been booked to host a conference run by conversion therapists and anti-trans activists, under the brand name of "CAN-SG"

[Decolonising the Medical Curriculum @DecolonisingMed]

no justice

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

Today is #InternationalDayofPersonsWithDisability and it almost feels trite or dismissive to even acknowledge given the globe’s complicity in the Palestinian genocide—both in leaving disabled people in Gaza to die while the west’s violence by proxy disables thousands more.

[Decolonising the Medical Curriculum @DecolonisingMed]

nah cos shame on our institutions not saying anything in the genocide of palestinian ppl, trying to silence us whilst the university gets and gives $$$ to arms companies profiting off this war. what's a backbone?
