At like 4am a few weeks ago I sat bolt upright in bed and thought wait maybe the people who are the best at a game are the people having the most fun and yeah maybe Fordham are the best softball team and we all need to get on their level Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Israel bombed a kitchen that provided meals to the forcibly displaced Palestinians in Gaza, killing three and injuring others. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said Israel has killed at least 871 people since the so-called ceasefire began last October.

Thanks to @oniblackstock.bsky.social for calling the Trauma Code on WBAI to discuss her recent article on healthy equity and education today in the US. thefulcrum.us/health/healt...

Read my recent op-ed on the topic here: thefulcrum.us/health/healt...

🗣️Yesterday, I spoke with @traumacode.bsky.social Drs. Simon Fitzgerald and Cassandra Rafaël, about the Liaison Committee for Medical Education’s recent decision to drop health equity curriculum requirements for US medical schools, a move that harms us all. Listen to our conversation here👇🏿👇🏿

I loved reading Mary Jones's reflections on John Brown. They inspired a project I've been working on. I hope to release it as a zine in 2027. We also feature Mary in our guidebook "Lifting As They Climbed." www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2003-l...

Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

Community rapid response member described the fracas in #Bushwick this past weekend when #ICE agents injured a detainee and brought him to Wykoff Heights Medical Center in #Brooklyn #NewYork podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

What happened with ICE at Wykoff hospital over the weekend? We will talk to people who were there to find out more and what we can learn about how to deal with ICE paramilitaries and detainees in NYC hospitals today on Trauma Code WBAI 99.5 FM NYC

A major serogroup C meningitis outbreak is unfolding in Chad, amid mass displacement driven by war in Sudan. It deserves far more attention than it is getting. Since Jan more than 1,500 patients have been admitted to isolation units amid meningitis C & measles. www.msf.fr/communiques-...

While we have your attention about the safety of journalists in harm’s way… Say her name: Amal Khalii. She was killed by US-Israel this week. She is one of 14 Lebanese journalists killed, and among nearly 300 killed in the Middle East since 2024.

My latest piece @thenation.com asks the question: is WNBA free agent Natasha Cloud, the social conscience of the sports world, being "blackballed" for standing for a Free Palestine? www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Hey @katbridges.bsky.social look it’s turnstile night in Baltimore

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

For ten years now, composer Judah Adashi has been organizing and hosting Rise Bmore to commemorate the April 19 death of Freddie Gray, whose spine was severed in the back of a police van in 2015. baltimorebeat.com/whats-poppin...

As the Turkish electricity ship arrives on Cuban shores, I just received this amazing book by the brilliant Gökçe Günel.

i'm not exactly sure what "race communism" is but i'm intrigued and would like to give it a try

5/6 On May 27, I'll be at @redemmas.org in Baltimore with @lisasnowden.bsky.social of @baltimorebeat.bsky.social redemmas.org/events/steve...

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

I almost missed it. Happy #EzeFriday to a real one. @ezewriter.bsky.social was on #TraumaCode once but Erricka #BaltimoreCeasefire introduced us years ago. He adds such value to @therealnews.com @baltimorebeat.bsky.social & #BaltimoreCity @jadashi.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

SOCIOLOGISTS: Have you this pledge to boycott ASA meeting in NYC if leadership keeps up their undemocratic shennangins? If you've signed, have you talked to a friend? Pressure comes with numbers : join the hundreds who have already signed on! Let's reclaim our discipline from this nonsense!!

Eze Jackson is a beautiful person, a wonderful colleague, and a Baltimore treasure. We need him to know that he isn't alone, and we NEED him here with us! Buying and listening to his music, one of the greatest gifts he's given us, is one of the best ways we can show him some love. (1/2)💜

Victoria Law is the REAL DEAL and I wish I could be there today. Please read and buy @victorialaw.bsky.social's book, which I blurbed and which is wonderful

Because of the WNBA players union min salaries are now higher than the old highest salaries. And that's just one facet. A massive victory for women's sports. But also a win for labor. In an elongated, dark period for the labor movement, this is not the first time sports unions have charted a path.

After Venezuela beat the fucking US in baseball for the tiniest shred of poetic justice, the President posted that it should become a US state. This is quite literally the most unhinged and depraved instance of sore-loserhood in the history of sports. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

There are some 3,000 patients on dialysis machines in Cuba who are at risk of dying from a prolonged blackout.

After year of ICE detention— Leqaa is finally. She was detained for protesting a genocide. She had multiple seizures inside. She wrote to her cousin how she thought she’d be free here. I don’t know what justice looks like, but it starts with abolishing ICE and freeing Palestine
