If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

'In Israel, authorities suppressed any acknowledgment of the Palestinian catastrophe since the earliest days of the state — banning the term in schools, passing laws to defund institutions that commemorate it, and erasing historical records from state archives.'
Remembering the Nakba while witnessing a genocide
As Israel destroys Gaza, Israelis and Palestinians gathered to mark the 1948 catastrophe and to elevate living Palestinian testimonies.

Nobody likes Rogan or wants any other form of Rogan, Democratic mega-donors.

What we need is real newspapers run by responsible, intelligent journalists, not pitch decks, not spreadsheets, no hedgies or billionaires sticking their oar in, nobody obsessed with 10 percent growth year over year
NEWS:

Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."

We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.

One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

This is outrageous: “Staffers were also told that it applies to every aspect of the health department's work: Employees could not send out press releases, give interviews, hold vaccine events, give presentations or create social media posts encouraging the public to get the vaccines.”
Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting COVID, flu and mpox shots
An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.

It’s not hard to not be a total dick to trans people, I’m literally doing it right now, sitting on my couch, not doing it.

Too many in media and an entire Republican Party, and a number of overpaid Dem consultants, flunk this remarkably easy test, it’s like most people failing to blink

Telling my students these days that it’s important to be precise about what counts as health equity work. If an intervention doesn’t get to the roots of the inequity, then we should call it “addressing the effects of inequity.”
