Returning briefly from my three-months-and-counting hiatus to let folks know I’ve moved to Spoutible. Same @. Hope to see you there.

There is no such thing as racism against Zionists. Zionism is not a race; it is a political ideology. #MedTwitter

As a current patient at @UCSF I ask where is your statement of solidarity with the healthcare workers in Palestine who have worked non-stop to save lives w/o anesthesia & medicine & have been bombed & murdered?
#FreeGaza #FreePalestine

Hey @UCSF, aluma and current patient here. I fixed your statement for you.
#AltTextPalestine #FreeGaza #FreePalestine
ALT Graphic with a dark blue background featuring a statement from UCSF. In red text, “Zionist doctors have facilitated the genocide of Palestinians. The dehumanization of Palestinians must be condemned. White text is crossed out that reads “A tired and familiar racist conspiracy has circulated on social media in recent days stating that Zionist’ doctors are a threat to Arab, Palestinian, South Asian, Muslim, and Black patients as well as the US health system. This sweeping, baseless, and racist generalization must be condemned.”

I am a student at @UCSF - rather than condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza, they would coordinate an attack on faculty asking legitimate questions about settler-colonialism, ethno-nationalism, and the Zionist project.

Please check out this series we created @SurLegal_ATL in partnership with a grassroots collective of #employmentlawyersforpalestine led by @profhuq and others to educate workers about their rights in the face of retaliation for showing solidarity with #Palestine. Here is part I of the series going over #1A rights for public employees.
(1/8) As of December 4, 2023, @pal_legal reported receiving over 360 intakes from workers across the country who have faced retaliation at work for expressing solidarity with Palestinians, including 95 reports of termination.

UCSF, *this* is antisemitic. Falsely equating attacks on Zionism w/attacks on Jews flattens our identity & makes our safety contingent on Israel. It fails to treat us as deserving respect in our own right.
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism & never will be.
Retract this now.
It's appalling to see @UCSF coordinating an attack on its own faculty of color who ask legitimate questions about social determinants of health. This is a violation of academic freedom. @Bob_Wachter @CatherineRLucey @UCPrezDrake

Hi friends and colleagues, don’t read the New York Times today (or play Wordle 😉). Don’t cross the picket line!

If @NYTimesGuild members don't have a deal soon, we’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

Homeless people "talk a lot about feeling invisible or unrecognized—just completely abandoned or left behind," @MKushel tells @nytimes. @fmanjoo writes "There’s one very simple thing you can do to help: Recognize homeless people’s humanity."
