Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza is completely dark. Nicu babies are being manually ventilated by nurses shining lights w/mobile phones. They won’t be able to do it for long. In any other world everyone would call that evil. In ours, skin colour determines the label.

Just witnessed first hand my first & last #KingsSpeech - shame he had to read out such a load of nonsense & worse, measures to roll back green agenda & make people poorer. No wonder he looked so pained - the words must have stuck in his throat. We need a #GeneralElectionNow

You have to listen to this.

Suella Braverman is a key example of how the embodiment of whiteness to uphold white supremacy goes beyond skin colour. Proving time & again that race is a colonial, artificial construct used to oppress, dominate, but ultimately annihilate Black, Indigenous and Native ppl & lands

The longer I work in psychiatry The more & more I am reminded that poverty is one of the most harmful factors (if not the most harmful factor) affecting peoples' mental health

Can we stop medicalising student anxiety as a ‘mental health problem’. I'd be anxious if I were about to enter such an inhospitable world: with flatlining wages, high inflation & job insecurity, unreachable house prices, careers for life gone, & massive students debt to repay.

The Telegraph says that before the violent scenes in Dublin on Thursday a man left this voice message on an anti-immigration WhatsApp group: ‘At 7 o’clock be in town. Everybody bally up, towel up, any fucking gyppo, foreigner, anyone, just kill them. Just fucking kill them.’

"Pills can’t save broken marriages; can’t erase a painful past or build community; can’t bring a loved one back. They can’t solve poverty or poor housing, right the wrongs of inequality or resolve any other well-evidenced social determinant of poor health" madinamerica.com/2023/12/beyond…

Shameful that we have so many people, so many children, living in poverty and relying on food banks. People are being prescribed food supplements by GPs because they're malnourished. How do any of the Tory government sleep at night
