pm netanyahu addressing the israeli nation today:

“if we don’t protect ourselves, no one will…we cannot trust the promises of gentiles.”

staggering on back of us/allied defense of israel during iranian missile strikes and $17 billion additional us military aid.

@BradMossEsq Rebudgeting DEI funds into recruitment efforts wins the internets today for hilarity.

In which it was as predictable as it is unfathomable. The Death of Alexey Navalny, Putin’s Most Formidable Opponent

[Dmytro Kuleba @DmytroKuleba]

Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, Magnitsky, Nemtsov, Navalny are only some of the most well-known names on the long list of critics killed by Putin.

There was outrage after each murder, but Putin eventually got away with it, and world leaders shook his hand again. This encouraged him to continue killing people.

Today, some voices continue to call for Putin to be heard and negotiated with. It is time to end the naiveté. Before any meaningful engagement with Moscow can begin, Russia must be defeated in Ukraine and Putin must finally learn a lesson.

There's no rational reason other than greed for Novo Nordisk to charge $12,000 a year for Ozempic in the United States while that same exact drug can be purchased for just $2,000 in Canada & $750 in Germany. It's time for the pharmaceutical industry to stop ripping off Americans.

This. Really important thread.

[Irish Unity 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @IrishUnity]

It is not anti-semitic to challenge Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians.

It is a label used to cynically silence criticism.

[Olga Tokariuk @olgatokariuk]

As you celebrate Christmas in your peaceful homes, please spare a thought for Ukrainian soldiers defending Europe from an evil empire. Many of them haven't seen their families for a very long time and will spend this Christmas in trenches, holding the line. Eternal gratitude 🙏

Antisemitism is “the canary in the coalmine for the degradation of democracy.”

Quand les trois présidentes des plus prestigieuses universités américaines refusent de condamner l'antisémitisme, forcément cela créé un tollé. Un bel exemple de géométrie variable et d'hypocrisie. Par @femeninna

[Dr. Jennifer Cassidy @OxfordDiplomat]

How much pain can a person take? How much pain can a family share? How much pain can a nation bear? How much pain can humanity witness? These are questions that we should never know the answer to. These are questions that should never even be asked. But here we are. With Israel and the United States making sure they are answered and fast. I never thought I would confront these questions again after working on the Khmer Rouge Tribunals and being face to face with people convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity. But here I am. Here we are. Once again at the doorstep of the very worst of human nature.

In 2021, a study identified exosome-mediated cross-talk between #BreastCancer cells and fat cells altered by insulin resistance—potentially explaining the link between #Metastasis and #Type2Diabetes. @GdenisBoston @The_BMC

We are deeply concerned about the situation in Gaza. We have lost contact with some of our Palestinian colleagues on the ground. We are particularly worried for the patients, medical staff and thousands of families taking shelter at Al Shifa hospital and other health facilities.

[Tyler Black, MD @tylerblack32]

The medical field did not miss this. It was well reported and early.

Medical administrators, health care officials, and political organizations dodged this most of the pandemic to avoid paying the $ necessary to clean indoor air.

[Dr. Rob Winn @DrRobWinn]

We absolutely cannot allow DEI to be an afterthought. If cancer centers are going to serve the populations of today and tomorrow, we must let go of yesterday’s mindset.

[Red Sox @RedSox]

Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.

Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation.

Our deepest love and thoughts are with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the Wakefield family.
