After 23 years of service, I was fired from my position as a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, for being critical of Israel’s violence in Gaza and speaking out against the racism that leads to genocide.

"As long as this Parliament is silent, Europe will no longer be a voice for human rights, but the echo of its own complicity and political cowardice."

Donald Trump urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran,

citing what he said was the country's rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development.

Trump was due to leave the Group of Seven summit in Canada later on Monday -- a day early -- due to the Middle East situation, the White House said.

Fox News reported Trump would convene his National Security Council.

Black woman, an old Black woman, an old Black man, a young Black man, a Black child—they make the police SO afraid they just have to open fire.

Just updated my diagram of Trump’s crypto entanglements based on his most recent financial disclosures 😵‍💫

Human toll of Israel’s attack on Iran

Israel’s attacks on Tehran have not only targeted military bases and nuclear sites, but have also penetrated the bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms of civilians. Children have been killed, teachers have fallen silent, athletes have been buried in the rubble.

All of them were as far removed from politics as possible.

According to the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education, at least 224 people have been killed and 1,481 wounded.
