This is about all protest and all free expression, from here on out. Our establishment knows social discontent will only grow as the climate worsens, the slaughters continue, and the rich extract harder. They're not fixing anything, and they don't want you to be able to resist.

At the population level, type 2 diabetes is a disease of trauma and structural violence.

Fight me.

Yes I've been teaching the SF plague outbreak of 1900 more over the last few years and people are absolutely shocked to learn about the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and its impact on Chinese communities in the US at the turn of the century #HistoryMatters #StructuralViolence
it is increasingly obvious to me that there are quite a few americans (surprisingly diverse) that are unaware of the history of the Chinese Exclusion Act and/or Japanese internment

Teaching this stellar article from @wrigleyfield.bsky.social and company, as I do virtually every term in every class. It's so devastating and yet perfect for work on #StructuralViolence, #StructuralRacism, and #PublicHealthEthics.

👇Background conditions of #StructuralViolence can bias health care outcomes assessment to make interventions appear less effective for more marginalized communities.

As always, the ethical priority is collective action on upstream #SDoH. #FundamentalCauses #PublicHealthEthics #Policy

Much of what Dr. Stramondo is articulating in this session intersects with my work on accusations of malingering, #StructuralViolence, #ableism, and @dorfmandoron.bsky.social's work on the fear of the disability con. Also resonates with @nicole-lee-sch.bsky.social's terrific #DisHist work #ASBH2025
