Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

International journalists can’t enter Gaza. But healthcare workers can. That makes their testimony vital. They can cut through to the reality of the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza. In today’s video, you’ll hear their firsthand accounts of witnessing a genocide:

“3 of the study’s authors write that almost 6 million US children could be affected by long COVID, which is greater than number of kids with asthma” 6 million chronically ill kids How many will be gaslit? Pushed to play through the pain? Told they’re “fine”? What a great time to restrict vaccines

What a time to add air filtration to all schools. The technology exist and is far cheaper than treating or educating kids with special needs. You can be sure that the private schools where wealthy people send their kids already has it! (So do the offices of politicians!)

Our letter condemning the genocide in #Gaza and calling for an immediate ceasefire. A great crime is being committed, and we cannot stand by. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

He wastes roughly the budget of one small elementary school per day. If you’re wondering as a parent why you are buying Kleenex and supplies for your kids.

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n... This is true. I'm keeping track of federal government changes at: www.bettycjung.net/Govstats.htm I also post updated infectious disease stats on Fridays, just so everyone can stay current!

If you’ve been on the Internet at all in the past three hours, then you’ve already seen this several times. But just in case you haven’t, here you go.

The June 14 #NoKings map is filling up. Hundreds of protests to drown out Trump’s delusional birthday bullshit. Find one near you - or organize you own - at nokings.org.

Happy Wednesday

This is happening right now. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Food security experts warn Gaza at ‘critical risk of famine’ amid Israeli blockade

"People Are Starving to Death": Oxfam Warns Israel's Blockade on Gaza Is Catastrophic

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Meanwhile the people of Gaza are starving

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

“My concern is that there is going to be a large outbreak of not just measles, but other vaccine-preventable diseases as well, that’s going to end up causing a lot of harm, and possibly deaths in children,” said Dr. Anna Durbin of @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social. (Published April)

NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

Jeff Bridges says he contracted COVID while receiving chemo. @tinu.bsky.social fought tirelessly for masks in healthcare. She had long covid & cancer and HCWs refused to mask for her. We must do better. People are dying & becoming disabled because HCWs prioritize comfort over infection control

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

British activist groups found that since September the government had sent ‘8,630 separate munitions’ to Israel.

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

This is incredibly powerful from the WHO’s Emergencies Director, Dr Mike Ryan, on the world doing nothing as the children of Gaza die. “This is an abomination.” (🎥 Middle East Eye)

Israel is starving us in Gaza. This is what that feels like | Aya Al-Hattab

Francis’s popemobile to become a mobile clinic for children in Gaza

No food, aid, or fuel have entered Gaza since March 2. Community kitchens have closed. Children are sick, thirsty, and starving. Now Netanyahu’s government wants to occupy Gaza and shut down the existing aid distribution system run by the UN and its humanitarian partners. Arms embargo now.

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

Also for the millions who can't get vaccinated or don't respond to the vaccine bc we are too immunocompromised, please for god's sake MASK UP!! Measles is airborne and vaccines (which everyone should get) are not enough on their own. We need layered protection like masking to stop the spread. 😷

My presentation with @davidjoffe64.bsky.social on COVID's impacts on the brain is already the most watched video on the @thewhn.bsky.social platform 🤯! Thank you to everyone who supports our research! We are now writing a physician's guide for #NeuroCovid #LongCovid 🤓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=soJX...

A quadriplegic man named Normand Meunier died via MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being neglected for 4 days in ER. He was denied a specialized mattress, wasn’t turned & ended up with terrible bed sores. His partner says she was threatened with removal from the ER for advocating for him 🧵

Here’s how we’ve been doing it among the people I know: look to the folks who are most vulnerable in your friend group and design your hang outs so they are safe and supported. It’s how you find people whose values are grounded in making the world better.

I have studied Ontario #vaccine data extensively. I am not aware of a single death in Ontario attributed either partly or entirely to a #covid #mRNA vaccination. That's for a province of 15 million with thorough vaccine safety monitoring and well over 40 million covid vaccinations.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
