This is a very important empirical (!) study accounting for the mental health impact of genocide on health care workers in Gaza. Much respect to the researchers who conducted a survey under the hardest conditions, especially those in Gaza. These urgent testimonies warrant to be read and acted upon

Relevant data from an overlapping and larger sample collected with @msf.ca and the Palestinian MOH, which we didn't find during the latest revision. Reporting very high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in mid to late 2024, nearly a year later. sciencepg.com/article/10.1...

Our work on the mental health of health workers in Gaza is now out in @plosglobalpublichealth.org. The findings are not surprising - health workers were being terrorized from the beginning of the genocide (data from December 2023- Jan 2024 peer review is slow). journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

Palestinian children in Gaza are seen collecting the remnants of dough prepared by their mother after an Israeli attack destroyed their tents.

Qatari PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has condemned the Israeli strike on Doha as “state terrorism”, warning that Qatar will not tolerate violations of its sovereignty.

Nothing is more dangerous to Netanyahu than a ceasefire. He had 2 years to bomb Hamas in Doha and he chose to do so while they were meeting to discuss a ceasefire deal.

It’s all an attitude of being fine with authoritarianism, just not in their preferred cities. High crime rates in Republican-led states isn’t a gotcha! It’s a tragedy and a canary in a coal mine about what systemic racism and poverty beget. Do better, y’all. Not one city should be occupied.

one of the most baffling parts of this. I spent the last decade or so prepping to make the "first they came for ethnic studies" version of the Niemoller point to libs. while they did (see the CRT offensive and book bans) I absolutely did not think children's cancer researchers would be next in line

Please read our new @lancetgh.bsky.social paper "Dignity-based practice in global health research: a framework of expectations" www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... We analysed complaints on knowledge practices in global health to identify expectations that affirm the dignity of marginalised knowers.

Cool paper - not sure how well the MCQ-based design and the output metrics approximate clinical reasoning, but the fact is that we have plenty of researchers asking 'how can we put AI everywhere' and too few asking 'why are we putting AI everywhere?' #MedSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Our organizing theory and practice as it relates to #Medicaid is grounded in the tradition of poverty abolition. You can read about it in the journal of the University of the Poor. Artwork by one of our members. universityofthepoor.org/the-nonviole...

Public health efforts are rightly focused on reducing opioid overdose deaths. We know relatively little about severe morbidity among overdose survivors. Our new paper in @journalgim.bsky.social provides the first national estimates of overdose-related hypoxic-ischemic brain injury rdcu.be/ezNUN

Where is working class blue sky? I just want a place to share my research without the cheer leading.

New work laying foundations on somatic therapy for PTSD (and chronic pain?) in a primary care context. Really enjoyed conducting these interviews. Among our patients and staff, a body-first orientation to trauma resonates strongly. #MedSky #PsychSky pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Must-read story from @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social on Trump & RFK Jr's catastrophic assault on the FDA. I'm quoted briefly, echoing a warning @reshmagar.bsky.social, @drjoshs.bsky.social & other watchdogs reiterated for years: FDA's unnecessary, excessive secrecy fueled conspiracy theories.

@bma.org.uk demonstrates some moral clarity, support for academic freedom and freedom of speech more broadly. All people should feel emboldened to raise the question of direct and indirect support for war, occupation, genocide in their organizations. www.bma.org.uk/what-we-do/w...

Israeli forces have been scaling up military operations in northern #Gaza, especially in #GazaCity and Jabaliya. On 27 June, an airstrike hit the home of an MSF surgeon and data analyst in Gaza City. The couple were wounded along with their 3 children.

It’s okay to write “poor” in scientific manuscripts. “Low income” is not the same as poor. Poor is not an insult, it’s part of reality. Most people in the world are poor. It is not shameful to be poor. It is not scientific to avoid the word. Precious jargon will not end poverty.

This is the third story I've read in a month about how AI chatbots are leading people into psychological crises. Gift link

From @coppercourier.com: Joel Gutierrez has lived in the U.S. for 25 years. His two youngest children were born here. But that didn't stop ICE from detaining him last week.

JB cannot say how many clinical trials have been ruined. FYI: You cannot just stop and start experiments.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

"Harriet Tubman, along with Black soldiers, took part in a daring Union raid of Combahee Ferry near Beaufort, South Carolina. She became the first American woman to lead a major military operation when she and at least 150 Black soldiers helped to rescue more than 700 Black Americans..."

The Freedom Flotilla is on its way to Gaza again. You can follow it here. freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/... Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan (French MEP) are on board Remember that the last Freedom Flotilla ended with Israel massacring 10 of its passengers and injuring over 50

Bernie Sanders refuses to say that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. In other words, he refuses to tell the truth. This is unacceptable, and it has to end. Me for @discourseblog.com: www.discourseblog.com/p/call-it-a-...

Judge Murphy: "It was impossible for these people to have a meaningful opportunity to object to their transfer to South Sudan. ... The govt's actions in this case are unquestionably violative of this court's order." Was it criminally contemptuous? Can be left for another day

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

Things are happening that cannot be undone. That's why they're so frightened.

The team from the Special Symposium on Trauma Informed Care at #SGIM25. Working on this with these folks pushed me to apply my research to my clinical work sooner than I would have otherwise. Awesome group. @societygim.bsky.social

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

Our work on Medicaid in @theprogressivemag.bsky.social was picked up by MSN. NVMA is changing the moral narrative around poverty. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

President Donald Trump has abruptly dismissed Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and first African American to serve as Librarian of Congress, via an email from the White House's Presidential Personnel Office.

As bipartisan attacks on Medicaid remain a threat, we need to keep fighting for our right to health care. progressive.org/op-eds/only-...

I wrote about our organizing around the Medicaid cuts in @theprogressivemag.bsky.social . There is continuity between the Great Medicaid Purge under Biden and it’s threatened expansion under Trump. progressive.org/op-eds/only-...

I think most people have a hard time believing that the USAID/PEPFAR cuts are as bad as they are bc it's impossible to stomach that policymakers would knowingly kill millions. But this is what is happening. PEPFAR supported antiretroviral therapy for 20.6 million people. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

This is horrible and maybe now academics in the global north who have always traveled freely without the added worry of visa and immigration concerns will have some empathy for academics from the global South for whom this is actually the norm i.e. harassment at borders and visa denials.

maybe we shouldn't be disappearing students via secret police for opposing the actions of a state that behaves in this way

Liberals around me hear the news about post-docs and students like the ones they work with being disappeared. They mostly seem to respond to this through a calculation of the likelihood that it would directly affect them. Determining that it likely might not, they keep doing the same things.
