my past week: -graduated medical school -moved out of miami -secured my apt in NYC -enjoyed a 48hr layover in madrid -came to the canary islands to visit my family

BREAKING: Today, NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals and 3 Long Island Northwell Health hospitals delivered 10-day notices to strike. NYSNA will continue to bargain between now and January 12th in the hopes of reaching agreements.

An extreme neoliberal, pro-privatization, anti-welfare, and firmly right-wing, María Corina Machado is one of Venezuela’s most outspoken Zionists, having written a letter to Netanyahu urging Israel to bomb and invade her own country (after a decade of calling on the U.S. to do the same).The Nobel Peace Prize is a complete joke

1/ Let’s be clear about which side you’re on if you oppose Venezuela’s elected govt: ISRAEL’S SIDE I’m getting angry responses to my Venezuela reporting from ppl who purport to be pro-Palestine yet repeat lies about Venezuela promoted by the same media justifying genocide on Gaza. 🧵

It's so wild how every few years the US just casually tries to install a coup regime in the oil-rich nation of Venezuela and the western political-media class treats this as perfectly normal. And then they'll have the gall to shriek about "election interference" if some Russians make some Facebook memes about a presidential race. Really says a lot about how evil, entitled, supremacist and stupid western civilization is.

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

CIR members stand with the 7,000 @nynurses on strike today fighting for safe working conditions and safe patient care conditions. We cannot do our jobs without safe staffing levels and livable wages. @MountSinaiNYC and @MontefioreNYC, choose #PatientsOverProfits

Reminder that NYC hospital executives make around $5-12 million annually with salary, bonuses and perks. Nurses who do the business of saving lives average around ~$40-60 per hour.

hello new york city!

who benefits from the multi-million dollar active shooter training industry? what is its impact? when did it develop? where does it extend? how do we imagine it in the future?

i’m surprising one of my longtime mentors today muahaha

We did it! We spoke out, we stood up, we persisted, and we won.

We're giving our official notice today that we are planning to engage in an unfair labor practice strike in @CountyofLA. But we are still hopeful that we can avert this possibility and we urge the County to do the right thing. #Care4USLA Full statement: bit.ly/3arf5Zg

(for healthcare friends, i just learned that mandala scrubs are 33% of figs prices, comfortable, and great quality)

i graduated med school without a single pair of figs. just scrubs from goodwill, hospital locker rooms, and amazon. idk how y’all afford $90 designer scrubs
