Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza Substantial and well-documented evidence indicates a catastrophic public health emergency in Gaza (appendix pp 1–5), marked by severe food insecurity and alarming levels of malnutrition-related deaths...

The petition provides its own justification, but you can also read this accompanying paper in the Lancet bit.ly/473zqPQ and its extensive citations of supporting evidence bit.ly/4oINrZk

The target audience for the petition is organizations like the American Medical Association, which has made statements about Ukraine but not Gaza.

I encourage you to sign this petition urging professional and academic associations to publicly recognize the genocide in Gaza.

Of course, it'd be a lot funnier if it weren't so incredibly cruel and harmful.

Sarah McBride laughs off Trump’s anti-trans executive order The first openly transgender member of Congress mocked Trump’s executive order

The funniest thing about this executive order defining everyone as female is that Trump's team tried so hard to find something that universally distinguishes male from female, but in failing to do so, they basically proved that sex isn't strictly binary.

PDFs, scanned images, screenshots, and even cell phone photos are all acceptable, as long as they contain the entire form and are readable. We will not publish your institution’s form directly, and we will keep your identity and the identity of your institution anonymous.

The goal of the study is to characterize the components of such forms, examine their legal and ethical implications, and consider whether our current practices should be modified.

Fellow US healthcare workers, if your institution has staff use an official form when a patient discharges from the hospital “against medical advice,” please consider anonymously uploading a blank copy of that form to our research study: uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
