RECOGNIZE NOW! More than a month since we went public, Carnegie management has continued to drag their feet, and we still have no answer about whether they will do the right thing and voluntarily recognize us. @CarnegieEndow@danbbaer@AlisonMarkovitz@NonprofitUnion@IFPTE
Looking for Black people with #LongCovid to feature as main characters in #BlackandunBelievedFilm.
Do not have to be local; must have a computer or phone that can film footage + conduct meetings; and must be available for 2-6 hours virtually - if necessary.

What’s Up With COVID and How to Protect Yourself: 2024 Edition
New zine!! This is my (well-informed layperson’s) understanding of what’s going on with COVID right now and how to lower your risk of getting it (again). Read at https://t.co/1KmwMUq516 or in the thread below 👇
Like World Central Kitchen, the heroic Palestine Red Crescent first responders who went to rescue 6-year-old Hind Rajab also received clearance from the Israeli military to get her. They were killed by the Israeli military anyway and so was 6 year old Hind.
Has the aid actually reached them though? Do people remember that the aid which has arrived to date, from trucks and from planes, has been accompanied by massacres of the starving who congregated around the aid? And deliberate killing of the people who organised safe handouts?
This new @WorldBank -#UN report shows that the estimates of the Gaza destruction used in my "Anatomy of a genocide" report were conservative.
The report exposes a level of erasure of a society that is unprecedented in our time:

This shouldn’t depend on the Rafah operation. Given the already incontrovertible evidence that Israel is violating both US and international law by restricting humanitarian aid, Biden is legally obligated to suspend military aid *now.* He’s just refusing to do it.
The White House is not following the CDC’s COVID isolation guidance. They are actually going way beyond and telling people to stay home if they have tested positive within 10 days (ie. following what the science tells us). Very indicative.
Very happy to share my new paper:
“Tracing the Roots of China's AI Regulations”
I go deep explaining how the sausage got made: how 🇨🇳 bureaucrats, academics, journalists, tech co's, and 🇺🇸+🌍 debates shaped Chinese AI governance.
🧵 w/ some highlights!

It’s so absurd that we’re still getting these handwringing stories in the fifth month of this atrocity. Do something about it already. Cut the aid. Stop vetoing UN resolutions. Stop acting powerless.
I don’t know who might be able to help with this, so I’m putting a call out into the world. At @sfcem_mexico, a collective of Mexican patients, we want to do a series of interviews on #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis#ME#MECFS and #LongCovid in Spanish. (1/x)
Community engagement is powerful when it is used to shape policies that save lives - these conversations must be had with policy-makers, not campaign staff. I will not entertain conversations about elections while we watch a live-streamed genocide backed by our government.
⚖️It can also be argued @CIJ_ICJ does not need to issue an order for ceasefire, the absence of which @StateDept tries to imply makes this meritless. By ordering Israel not to kill Palestinians + not to commit genocide, ICJ already stipulates the effective need for ceasefire. (4)
⚖️I'm not sure where the lawyers at @StateDept have gone, but this statement is not an accurate reading of the @CIJ_ICJ case or what provisional measures are.
The ICJ made no determination that would protect Israel's "right to take action." In fact, quite the opposite. (1)
An incredibly painful read on the 300% increase in miscarriages, the challenges with nursing, the risks of giving birth, and what it's like to get your period in Gaza today among.

This also should prompt reflection amongst al those governments and media outlets who supported Israel war, because they have been supporting a Genocide.
End.
1/3 are you an organizer who is taking covid prevention measures in your movement work during this jn.1 surge? (masks? meeting outside? hybrid options? or...?) if so, i'd like to send you a signed copy of the viral underclass to thank you.
