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

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.

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." nytimes.com/2022/12/02/opini…

20 years ago, medical “never events" (e.g. leaving a sponge in a patient after surgery) were the "cost of doing business"–until we decided they were unacceptable. Now, some hospitals are suing patients for bills, playing tax games, & more. These too should be #NeverEvents. 1/x
