only on here to yell at rail companies and the health secretary. Opinions my own, but we can share them if you like. Black Lives Matter. Let’s end homelessness.

For a week now, I have been on the Greek island of Lesvos with @Bootvlucht to provide medical care to refugees living in the camp there. The work this organisation does is vital, filling a huge gap in services to help maintain health and dignity. 🧵…

Together with 650+ @RefugeeTogether orgs, we call for a fair, compassionate and effective asylum system, that welcomes people who have had to flee unimaginable horrors, not one that punishes them. This includes ending the nasty rhetoric that demonises people seeking asylum.

@brillfish My fav was when my male medical student was handed a medication chart with a prescribing request while I sat next to him.

@brillfish This happens to me, on average, once a shift. Every single time I have introduced myself as “one of the doctors”. It is not unreasonable to want to be referred to by your professional title in your own workplace.

@KarenHercher @Tom_the_Knowles @brillfish It isn’t being mistaken for a nurse, it is not being recognised as a doctor, despite repeatedly introducing yourself as such. It is an example of everyday sexism that many female doctors face, myself included. Perhaps you could show some solidarity and sympathy.

@Tom_the_Knowles @brillfish Think it will always be ‘the nurse’ in charge of the department!! God forbid a doctor would be mistaken for a ‘lowly’ nurse 🤷‍♀️

Good to see some reporting in NZ that isn't doing NZ exceptionalism about this issue. Much of the far right policy framework is imported wholesale from the US and UK. It's important to understand what the results of that have been. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/do…

Dr Ruby (she/her) jaboukies everything
Biden finally opening his rotten mouth to call for a ceasefire after US citizens were killed in a war he funded and with weapons he helped the assailants to purchase. Those deaths were predictable and preventable, you just didn't care for the herald of 30,000 dead Palestinians.

@ivymycin Absolute shite. You are there to do your job. You are a professional deserving of respect. I’m sorry you’ve been subjected to this.

Al Shifa hospital was raided, utterly destroyed, its staff detained, tortured, executed. They also matter. They also deserve our rage. They are also just like us.

This attack on World Central Kitchen workers was vile, but we can’t act like it is the first slaughter of aid workers in Palestine. Reports of medics under fire have been coming out of Palestine for YEARS.

We saw this same reaction when Ukrainian refugees arrived in the Calais Jungle. How could they be left to endure such awful conditions?! There was horror & outrage that have never been raised on the same scale for all the other refugees stuck there for years. White. Supremacy.
Alonso Gurmendi@Alonso_GD

It causes me sheer mental desperation to note that amidst the sustained starvation and obliteration of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, some people draw their moral line at the killing of Europeans.

not being able to enjoy a historical Tory disaster because the party replacing them is still pro-genocide, pro-landlord, racist, transphobic, pro-privatisation, all total cunts who want you dead. that's a shame isn't it.

MSF is horrified that Al-Shifa hospital is in ruins after a 14-day long operation by Israeli forces in and around the facility. Gaza’s largest hospital is now out of service. Given the extent of the destruction, people in the north are left with even fewer healthcare options.

Justifying unfair wages for people because you personally don’t think they matter is vile behaviour. Seymour is being transparent here. This is what sits at the heart of ACT’s politics.

Even if none of those things happen, this means a decrease in one persons pension contributions. Less to put away in savings. Accepting these things in favour of having a partner who “can provide” is what has kept women poor and powerless for LARGE CHUNKS OF HISTORY.
