Dear God this woman is a vile PoS on many levels, isn’t she?

She needs to be getting the boot for any number of reasons - certainly doesn’t strike me as a fit person to be a nurse.

“What’s unsafe and ineffective is caving to political pressure that puts our patients at risk. We won’t stand for it, and it’s why we’re taking action together” said Sydney Simpson, a registered nurse in interventional radiology. #TransRightsAreHumanRights @calnurses.bsky.social ❤️🔥

Baltimore hospital nurses make history with first-ever strike On July 24, nurses at Ascension St. Agnes Hospital walked off the job in a powerful one-day strike organized by National Nurses United. Over 50 nurses took to the picket lines in the city's first-ever nurses' strike, demanding the working conditions they deserve and the patient care standards the community needs.

Doctors Against Genocide write: BREAKING: The only meal hospital staff in Gaza were receiving — provided by World Central Kitchen — has stopped. WCK has run out of food. Doctors, nurses, paramedics - already collapsing from exhaustion — now have nothing to eat. They are saving lives while starving. This is what a siege looks like. This is what famine as a weapon looks like. Take to the streets. ound the alarms. Fill the feeds. Hit every inbox. Demand an end to the siege.

Germany’s Muslim community in shock over murder of nurse While motive for the killing has not been confirmed, activists say the incident exposes the vulnerability of Muslim women

The murder of 26-year-old Algerian nurse Rahma Ayad has sparked discussions on social media about whether German authorities are doing enough to protect Muslims from increasing violence – Islamophobic attacks were up 60% last year. My report for @hyphenonline.com hyphenonline.com/2025/07/23/g...

Hanes: As the SAAQclic scandal is exposed, is a Santé Québec fiasco brewing? The agency created to run the health system is also trying to launch a new IT project.

"The jobs of hundreds of nurses and orderlies have been eliminated. Home care for the elderly and disabled has been squeezed. But while #Santé Québec nickels and dimes front-line care, its executives are taking home six-digit salaries..."

Jackie is my classmate from Kotzebue who has become a leader in this area. She is also a talented clothes designer!

‘We didn’t think it could get even worse’: Canadian nurse returns from Gaza Montreal nurse Amy Low has returned home from an eight-week job in Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Gaza. It’s her third time in the region since 2023.

Amy Low is a role model for our profession. While the vast majority of nursing organizations remain silent on the ongoing televised #genocide in Gaza, she went to work. Thank you Amy. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl... #Nursing #NurseLeadership

oof. conflicts of interest.

I'm back home with my dad and have thoughts about being an Indigenous scientist and academic. I'm writing this in real time so it might get disrupted and will have typos.

I am fairly successful by academic standards. I have a tenure track job, wrote papers, have grant funding, mentor students.

It's great that this is from a 2017 article and society (mostly other white people) not only let them continue to walk around free of consequences, but offered them the levers of power instead of banishing them to the abyss.

Encore une fois, la CAQ nous montre son vrai visage. Une mesure cruelle qui vise à ségrégé et précariser des familles déjà en situation de vulnérabilité. Qui bénéficie de cette mesure? Personne. Un stupide "dogwhistle" pour leur base plus radicalisée www.lapresse.ca/actualites/2...

As @terrilltf.bsky.social reminds, the Chrétien/Martin budget imposed the 2% cap on all Indigenous spending which warped a lot (from education to health to social spending) for First Nations communities in Canada.

And now this, which is way worse. Liberals are amazing colonizers.

Drimonis: Amid immigration crackdown, it’s callous to target family reunifications Sadly, Quebec’s announcement it is suspending new applications to bring over a spouse or child from abroad comes as no surprise.

“Setting limits on family reunification is something I will never understand. Splitting up families, sometimes for years on end, seems inhumane to me.” @mtlgazette.bsky.social

Note also that the lawsuit alleges that because race and class are correlated, providing free tuition to lower income students is also racial preference.

They just want a pure aristocracy of inherited wealth

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH.

These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures.

How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

this is precisely why the technofascists who own OpenAI, and the other ‘AI’ companies are pushing LLMs into every level of education: it’s not only profitable, it’s about controlling an entire generation’s capacity to think.
And why educators should resist as hard as we can.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

A two month old baby was admitted to hospital in Gaza because of suffocation from a foreign body in the airway. It was a chickpea. There is no appropriate food for a two month old baby in Gaza. The baby’s mother too unwell to breastfeed, and milk and baby formula are unavailable.
