@SenKatieBritt Senator Britt, please intervene in the case of 7-year-old Fredimar, who is detained at Dilley Family Detention Center with her parents (Freddys Padilla Revila and Edgarianny Cortez Gervis). Fredimar isn’t eating or sleeping. She is having suicidal thoughts. She is SEVEN.

“This genocide would not have been possible without the shocking cover-up by the media.”

“The role of Western media in defending the acts of a genocidal state is unprecedented.”

I saw 'No Other Land' last night.

Powerful. Infuriating. Heartbreaking. Revealing.

It's all there, on tape, on camera, in front of your eyes. The ethnic cleansing. The apartheid. The sheer cruely towards the Palestinians.

Thank you @basel_adra, @yuval_abraham, & your team.

I’m 80 years old. I decided to call #SocialSecurity

“If you are calling about a disability application due to staffing reductions,
our average processing time for disability applications is 200 to 230 days.

The estimated hold time is greater than 120 minutes”

A music teacher in Gaza turns the haunting sound of Israeli drones into a lesson, using it to teach children the music scale. In the face of unimaginable adversity, this is how Palestinians continue to teach the world the meaning of life and resilience.

“Yesterday children were bombed. Children. This is cruelty, this is not war.”

@ryansolsten Absolutely. I’ve been a health provider long interested in single payer.. such a long 4 years to come about getting anywhere on that - not that it’s that unusual, tho, unfortunately... FYI and for good use, here’s a 1-pager on Advantage plans in Medicare: https://t.co/2u306Pg9t4

The teenager in British Columbia is a preview of what pandemic risk truly looks like 🧵

A single critical case, no clear source, and the absence of a transmission chain.

It’s a script we know too well, and one we’re doing nothing to rewrite.

Don’t use Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (Naproxin), etc… if you have COVID. It almost doubles your chance of Long COVID.

Live from Baalbek:

While an Israeli drone roams over his head threatening to bomb him, Scottish journalist and former UK diplomat, Craig Murray, destroys Israeli propaganda and exposes Israeli atrocities committed against civilians in Lebanon.

Yesterday during a lab meeting, my mentor informed me that I may no longer progress in my career due to my so-called 'infamy.' I was told that I was to blame for the challenges I've been facing in publishing my work—that my 'negative' political activism might be provoking the particularly unusual hostility of peer reviewers. Apparently, several 'respectable' figures in the scientific community have contacted him to voice their disapproval and even urged him to terminate my employment. This also highlights how the cowardly silence of my 'allies' perpetuates bigotry and exclusion.

To my 'colleagues' who feel entitled to pass judgment on my existence as a Palestinian scientist—one who cannot turn away from the human instinct to preserve life while witnessing the daily murder of my people—I regret to inform you that I will continue to exist, unapologetically, with no regard for your comfort or supremacist ideals.

Fortunately, science is not confined to institutions. It lives in my mind and heart, and I can enjoy it fully—even from the solitude of my imagination; even if I were to become homeless. Home, however, is precisely what I am fighting for. I only wish I had the privilege to contemplate nature, without the existential threat of Zionism.

From my perspective at the margins here at MIT, I have come to see academia for what it truly is: a stronghold of racism, classism, and spiritual rot masquerading as enlightenment.

Apologies in advance if I don’t respond to comments on this post—this is a deeply personal reflection, shared primarily for myself.

Lebanese paramedics sit amidst the rubble, grieving their murdered colleagues.

Israel bombed a Civil Defense Center in Baalbek, Lebanon, wiping out 15 paramedics in an instant.

These were first responders, not combatants.

This is sheer barbarity.

RFK Jr’s nomination is the repudiation of a century of unprecedented and miraculous progress in public health.

We take it for granted because we don’t recognize how far we’ve come.

This is right near the hotel I always stay in. Russia is stepping up its terror attacks on civilians all throughout Ukraine. Huge attack in central Odesa last night. The Iranian drones are getting more effective.

#Beirut now- Israel is inflicting gratuitous violence on an unarmed population. This is what the EU and the US are supporting, funding, arming, and calling self defense. No words.
