If you’re still paying attention Israel has murdered 36,671 Palestinians including 14,031 children.

These numbers includes those presumed dead and under the rubble still.

Having your childhood documented. Pics, videos, letters, crappy childhood art all of it.

@CoolLesbianAunt Sounds like my unit where they tell us to follow the sick policy and call out but also follow the attendance policy and don't call out 🤡

My 92 yr old mom was admitted to a hospital on Dec 16 due to a decubitus ulcer. She came home on Dec 29 with COVID. The hospital has no mask mandate. Mom wore a N95 most of the time. I enrolled mom in Hospice care yesterday. She is a casualty of 1/2

Incredible new transgender study was just published in the prestigious Journal of Adolescent Health.

The study finds that puberty blockers significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts compared to those who did not receive blockers.

They are lifesaving.

This is an abomination. As Jews, to see this being done in our name... horrifying, despicable, words fail.

This is what our government supports in Gaza. Thousands of children murdered, people being rounded up, stripped, and G-d knows what else.

Ceasefire NOW, end this nightmare

A great attending once pointed out to us that, for a 17yo mom and her newborn, the most important thing for the mom's AND newborn's long-term health was mom finishing high school. Was pressure to exclusively breastfeed going to help that happen?

the pain i feel as a jew these days is hard to describe. auschwitz is where my family was killed. i went there with my grandma as a teen. she pointed to all the places she saw her friends murdered. to see that trauma used to justify more killing breaks something deep in my soul

Friday was the first day that the average air temperature near the surface of the Earth was 2 degrees Celsius warmer than preindustrial levels. Saturday was the second.

calling my representatives isn’t enough. i need to slap my representatives

For 🇺🇸 Jewish ppl like me who grew up going to synagogue, we were exposed to constant Zionist propaganda from a young age, even in “progressive” synagogues

Ex: I was taught that Israel is “A land without a people for a people without a land” — truly genocidal colonial erasure

[stefanie @stefkaufman]

Instead of Zionists recognizing their interconnecting freedom struggles with other oppressed peoples, they decided the answer was ethno-isolation. Except in a colonial world, you cannot create an ethno-nationalist state without committing genocide.

This is an urgent moment for medical care for incarcerated people in MA. This fall @MAcorrections will solicit bids from private contractors to provide healthcare for incarcerated folks in the state. Now is our chance to change the terms of that contract (1/x)

Can’t join us in DC tomorrow but still want to help out?

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

On this Shabbat, Israel is on the brink of committing genocide.

We know that word sounds jarring, even extreme to many of us in our community.

We know the painful history of that word.

And that’s exactly why we must use it.

@aox4nopmh In case you didn't know there is also a disorder called cyclothymia that has mood swings less dramatic than bipolar!

My entire training at my new job... need to name racism in healthcare and nursing for what it is.

[Lucinda Canty PhD, CNM, FAAN, FACNM, Nurse-Midwife @LucindaCantyPhD]

I keep hearing nurses talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, but they are afraid to say racism. We cannot move forward in creating environments where nurses of color thrive if we do not acknowledge that racism is at the root of everything.
