“We are breaking the bodies and minds of the children of Gaza. We are starving the children of Gaza. “If we do nothing about it, we will be complicit in what is happening before our eyes.” — Michael Ryan, WHO

Senior UNRWA emergency officer on the genocidal conditions imposed on Gaza rn: “The situation now is so beyond imagination, so beyond words at this point, because people are being starved, basically… children are now starving. People are surviving on one meal a day. People are without medicine.”

@jiatolentino.bsky.social, as per the usual, nailing the Zeitgeist. I relate to this essay a lot. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

US-Americans, man, poor things…

📣📣 We are looking for an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the Department of Global and Public Health @mcgillspgh.bsky.social @healthsciences.mcgill.ca! mcgill.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/mcgill...

Excellent article from @sarahdlish.bsky.social and colleagues in @healthpromint.bsky.social Involving children in global health policy and programming: practical guidance to get started academic.oup.com/heapro/artic...

If these abductions do not push every single one of you to question the existence of immigrant "detention" centers and the conditions of ALL prisons and jails, then you are really doing life wrong. Conditions in detention, jails, and prisons in the U.S. ARE TERRIBLE. They are awful every single day.

We are at least 4-5 stanzas deep in the “first they came for…” poem and there are still not enough people speaking out

The Trump administration's assault on programs serving children is a grave injustice that demands immediate action from Congress. Tell your reps to act. @resist.bot #resist #DailyAction #SaveOurServices #HandsOff #KillTheCuts Text SIGN PNXLGN to 50409 or go to: resist.bot/petitions/PN...

Deeply, deeply distressing and upsetting.

Amazon book sale on Independent Bookstore Day week? Not a coincidence. Shop redemmas.org or in store this Saturday for IBD and we'll donate 20% of proceeds to @pal_legal. Fuck a bunch of Bezos and all the oligarchs.

Among other harms, these cuts will just make it easier for the admin to lie. Maternal mortality has gone down! Climate change doesnt exist! There is no pollution, even if you can see it with your own eyes! www.propublica.org/article/trum...

⚡HOT OFF THE PRESSES: An evidence gap of #ClimateChange and children's health & wellbeing. We reviewed >1,000 studies and developed a systematic evidence and gap map - then worked with our Youth Advisory Board to select priorities for future research. TLDR: lots of studies, but *LOTS* of gaps. 🧵

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents. New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

🔥Activists are outside the US State Department right now demanding restoration of foreign aid. 🗺️We need to stop the illegal takedown of #USAID and dismantling of #pepfar. 💊 200 coffins is just a symbolic fraction of the lives that will be lost needlessly and recklessly.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

French journalists gather in Paris to protest and mourn their murdered Palestinian 🇵🇸 colleagues:

I was prepared to be disappointed but it looks like there are a lot of good things in the #PandemicTreaty agreed today. Thanks @boghuma.bsky.social for this breakdown 🙏🏻

#HeadStart is a major equalizer of ECD outcomes for US children. It must be protected!

I can’t help but think something has gone wrong in your life if you’re spending your morning off work holding a sign that says “Large Gametes”.

Let these people inspire us all - we MUST be our best selves in this moment.

Absolutely not. Harvard has quietly shut down almost all Palestinian programming on campus. The directors of the Middle Eastern Studies centres were removed from their posts. The law school has cut back DEI initiatives. Claudine Gay is still fired. Don’t be distracted.

The last Trump administration felt like there was a rabid raccoon in the house. Now, it feels like there's a serial killer in the house.

This is it people. This is the moment of the camps.

Welp, I guess that’s it for the rule of law in the United States. It was a pretty good run.

❇️ So much green ❇️ This week saw huge progress towards a consensus draft Pandemic Agreement. WHO, Member States, and several Relevant Stakeholders worked through the night. Talks will reconvene Tuesday following consultation with capitals and hopefully then onwards to adoption at WHA.

Are we entering a new timeline where the Onion isn’t funny anymore? …

Not how we wanted to do that…
