Sure sounds like a concentration camp. And for the whataboutism MAGA mouthbreathers: It's quite different to temporarily house migrants before processing them, vs taking people on US soil, classifying them as criminals, and imprisoning them at a notoriously abusive black site.

Maybe the most important interview I've done with @majorityfm. I spoke with Dr. Tarek Loubani today, a doctor who's previously been tortured by the IDF and was shot during Palestinians' peaceful protests in 2018, about what he's seen. I asked him: "What does genocide look like?"

The Right just doesn't get it. YET. 🔹I just watched a video of someone explaining how her grandmother, mother, and sister turned their backs on her for voting for Trump. She’s hurt because when they voted for Biden, she didn’t cut them off like that. But here’s what everyone is missing: 🔹This election wasn’t just a "difference of opinion"😠it was a decision between a convicted felon who worships power and treats women and anyone who isn’t white like trash, and... well, anyone else. #DemsUnited #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 🔹Trump’s own record should have been disqualifying, no matter who his opponent was. 🔹He cozies up to dictators, worships Putin, and has openly planned to strip rights away through #Project2025. 🔹This man would instantly greenlight Israel to wipe out Palestinians while he gloats from afar. Yet #KamalaHarris? She gets flak for not standing up "enough," when as VP she’s limited in what she can do. But as president? You bet she’d stand her ground. 🔹Then there’s #Ukraine. We’re at a point where supporting Ukraine is essential to keeping Russian ambitions in check, but #MAGARepublicans are more upset about the dollars than they are about the threat. This isn’t a game of isolationism; Ukraine is fighting a battle that, if they lose, will reach us. 🔹Trump’s sympathies lie with Putin, and if he takes office, we’re looking at the U.S. siding with Russia and turning our backs on our allies. Poland could be next. #TrumpShouldHaveBeenRejectedFromTheStart Bottom line: It shouldn’t have mattered who Trump was running against. The choice was a matter of rejecting fascism and standing against authoritarianism.

Last evening, our ER experienced a Code Orange. A mass casualty event-where the ability to care for patients will outpace the resources to provide care adequate care. Please read below. This is what @CBCNB should reporting on.

Access to books is vital to children’s development, and NYC libraries are facing a $58.3 million dollar budget cut that could force most branches to reduce service to just five days a week. Please join me in telling @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil: #NoCutsToLibraries investinlibraries.org/dayofa…

Can any nurse, doctor, EMT or ER technician tell me whether this size bandage for a cut on the ear is normal? It seems ridiculously large to me. I mean, wouldn’t a plain ol’ Band-Aid do the trick? 🩹

The rise of hate towards the 2SLGBTQI+ community is deeply alarming. All people deserve safety and freedom to be who they are. Today and every day, New Democrats stand with the trans community in solidarity.

Proud to join @POTUS Biden and @VP Harris in calling on Congress to pass federal legislation to reinstate the protections of Roe. Attacks against our rights (and bodies) are infuriating, but we can use our voices to fight back. nowthisnews.com/news/watch-c…

People come to Canada for many reasons. No matter where they're from or why they're here, a warm Canadian welcome can make a difference.

First published 7 years ago in "Endless" magazine, this piece is about the HIV work I was involved with in Central Asia. Sadly, both the HIV problem and the state of women's rights that I discuss in the piece are even worse today. medium.com/endless/a-world-a…
