As winter arrives, over one million Gazans lack shelter, with 92% of housing destroyed by Israel.
In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food.
The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW.

Lack of tents, food and warm clothes leaves Gazans exposed ahead of winter
As winter approaches in Gaza, more than a million residents are vulnerable to extreme weather and disease, as Israeli restrictions hobble the humanitarian response.

Peter Hotez: For all practical purposes measles is back, now whooping cough on the rise, next domino to fall. What’s next? Hib meningitis? Polio? All to benefit a corrupt wellness influencer industry and phony MAHA ideologies. Congress, the White House asleep. Americans should be outraged.
Is the US at risk of losing its measles elimination status?
More than 1,700 measles cases have been confirmed so far in the U.S. this year.

Same evidence. Different guidelines.
Not a science problem—a translation problem.
Medicine needs the humanities more than ever.

When Russia wanted to take over Ukraine, many Russians discussed the issue and none objected to taking over a sovereign country.
The USA are behaving like Russians, with Canada as angry and unrelenting as Ukraine.
The attitude of Americans is shocking. Shame on them.

As we stood in line
at the supermarket
the woman behind me
looked at my mask
and said she was just getting over it,
and the man at the register
said he had it last month,
and the woman in front of me
said she just keeps getting it,
but no one seemed willing
to admit what “it” was.

As I made my way
through the grocery store
I was not surprised to see
they were running low
on potatoes and green beans
on turkeys and cranberries
and as I made my way
past the pharmacy section
I saw they were running low
on Covid/Flu tests
which sadly
did not surprise me either.

Reminder: The best way to protect against whooping cough is to get vaccinated. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years, so please check, you may be overdue!

a disappointing dinner party
my work friend asked
if I knew the feeling

but still just feeling
profoundly alone,
and as I adjusted my mask
I looked

and simply said:
