  • Palestinian Groups on Famine, Call for International Protection

    “The systematic destruction of food systems, restrictions on the entry of aid, chaos perpetuated through continuous displacement orders, widespread bombardment, cooperation with and arming of gangs that loot aid and prevent its reach to affected populations, and the militarization of humanitarian aid (by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) are all explicit manifestations of genocidal intent.”


  • DNC Will Vote on Resolutions About Gaza and Israel This Week

  • Famine Declared in Gaza, Stepping up Calls for Peacekeepers

    He states: “They have the majority of votes, and most importantly, millions of people are demanding this. Ordinary people are trying to break through an illegal blockade to deliver humanitarian aid, to implement international law their governments are failing to do.

  • Unpacking the Narrative of AI Job Loss

    Writing for FAIR, Conor Smyth argues that corporate media––including The Atlantic, ABC, PBS, CBS, the New York Times and Axios––has spun an exaggerated narrative that artificial intelligence is tanking the job market for new college graduates. AI, he writes, is stealing far fewer jobs than the public might believe, and this narrative serves as a grand distraction from the effects of the Trump administration’s policies driving down entry-level hiring.

  • NIH Is Sowing “mRNA Distrust”

    The director of the National Institutes of Health, Jay Bhattacharya, stated on Steve Bannon’s podcast that contracts for mRNA research were being canceled because the public lacks trust in the technology. Bhattacharya blames declining uptake of the mRNA Covid-19 boosters on lack of public trust in the technology. But experts say that the public does generally trust mRNA vaccines. In May, a KFF poll found that only 16 percent of Americans do not trust mRNA vaccines, while 52 percent would like more information. Scientist and clinician Ferric Fang calls this an “educational opportunity, not a justification to terminate research. [It’s]…

  • Encouraging Healthcare Workers to Resist ICE

    Writing in The Nation, social psychiatrist Eric Reinhart urges healthcare workers to resist the expansion of ICE into hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, as well as the war on medical science and federal health programs for vulnerable U.S. residents. The Trump administration is “transforming medicine into a tool of authoritarian repression,” Reinhart contends. He writes that healthcare workers should engage in resistance training and teach-ins, use disobedient documentation and subversive record-keeping, and help educate community members to create a lay caregiving force. 


  • Mental Health Practitioners in Gaza

  • The DNC Platform on Israel “Reads as if AIPAC Wrote it”

    Prem Thakker reports that as Biden was speaking: “Audience members at the DNC in Chicago unfurl banner that says ‘Stop arming Israel.’ After audience sees the banner, they begin chanting ‘We love Joe.’ Man tries to rip banner away. Stadium lights over this spot then dimmed and banner was ripped away.”
