Several of the officials who spoke to NPR said it was Biden's soft spot for Israel, however, that kept him from being politically tough, even in the face of a humanitarian catastrophe that the administration was well One former senior official described the administration's approach as "morally bankrupt" from the beginning. The White House's refusal to criticize Israel's conduct of war publicly, even as the civilian death toll spiked and hunger spread, led to an internal outcry within the State Department, USAID and even the White House, with staff pressuring more senior officials to act. Israel's war, and the ongoing threat from Iran and its proxies. Several of the sehor ofticials wno thoutht the Us. needed to push Israel to uphole leaders like Blinken, Sullivan and Brett McGurk, Biden's lead negotiator on the Mideast. Others dispute that characterization But as months went on without a significant change in Israeli policy on dorotcals are on steel toir ther some consequences for that. Should pausing military aid be on the table We should be having those discussions, like we would with anvone else that was doing this," the former official said. But that's where they hit a wall with the president and his close advisers the officials said.

A US citizen and a nurse. 😭

I went ahead and fixed this tweet by Pierre Poilievre to be a bit more truthful.

This nurse is a bigot.

Bigotry is not allowed in the workplace, simple as.

a woman in a blue and white striped shirt says please pretend to be nice Alt: Blanche from the Golden Girls gestures in an exaggerated way with a fixed smile. The caption is 'PLEASE PRETEND TO BE NICE'

Importantly, the authors identify that behavioural kindness without matching teleology (kind intent),

'...which create the underlying conditions for fake kindness... will also foster a context propitious to bullying.'

I think that's the pitfall of behavioural #BeKind and #Civility strategies.🤔

Example illustration of 'niceness' distinct from teleological kindness, from https://www.oecam.com/whos-got-the-power/build-a-kind-culture-not-a-nice-one/

Behavioural kindness- outward actions of caring- can act as symbolic violence that reinforce power by limiting social repertoire available to recipients.

Teleological kindness is action motivated by an *intent* to help.

Behavioural kindness without teleology= enforced 'niceness' or 'civility'.

Re-upping this fab paper from @faussenurse.bsky.social @drnursenat.bsky.social and Joanna Schilling. Relevant to medicine as much as nursing, they distinguish behavioural kindness from teleological kindness.

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. The Baltimore Peoples Power Assembly joined the striking nurses on the line, along with many supporters from across the city.

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..."

‘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.

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.
