All of Gaza is at “critical risk of famine,” according to a report by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification. This is the result of a policy of deliberate starvation as part of the US-Israeli genocide. #nurses #GazaStarving #Health https://t.co/0JmPLb6x0n

RFK Jr's announcement that all new vaccines must undergo placebo-controlled trials has alarmed medical experts. It would mean the delay of updated vaccines for well-understood diseases like measles, polio, and even COVID-19. #RFKjr #nurselife #Measles https://t.co/DVkG13BRZq

Trump's budget proposes to give the Pentagon more than $1 trillion, while slashing healthcare, including research and Medicaid. The ruling class seeks to immiserate workers to wage unending, potentially catastrophic wars. #nurselife #Trump #healthcare https://t.co/H9hkVNwTYb

The Trump administration’s plans to cut $40 billion from the Department of Health and Human Services marks an inflection point in the deepening assault on science, public health and the social rights of the working class. #nurselife #nurse #RFKjr #Trump https://t.co/rPdEiVp6v6

National Nurses United opposes (in words) Trump's abolition of collective bargaining rights for federal workers, but it has refused to threaten a strike. It's more concerned with its own relations with management than with nurses' rights. #nurselife #Trump https://t.co/ODvn4vdXe4

Saturday’s mass demonstrations were a turning point in the struggle against Trump’s efforts to establish a fascistic dictatorship. But this opposition lacks a clear political program, which must be the program of international socialism. #nurselife #Trump https://t.co/smWQHUMTun
