“To fight for ourselves is dangerous.” @maggieboxey.bsky.social has #MECFS following a suspected Covid infection. In her TEDx talk, she explains that after speaking to Congress, she spent several days in a crash and that if she’s not careful, it could permanently lower her baseline.

Dr William Weir on how the influence of Simon Wessely and his colleagues created an overriding tendency among doctors to insist that #MECFS is a psychological disorder. Clip from Hope 4 ME & Fibro NI Collaboration for Change 2026
Jo Platt MP, who lives with #MECFS and #LongCovid, told UK Parliament the COVID-19 Inquiry found Long Covid was repeatedly dismissed despite affecting nearly 2 million people. She asked the Government what steps it will take to act on the Inquiry’s findings, 23 April 2025.
Clip from Radio New Zealand: A former city councillor describes the impact of #LongCOVID. Going from a busy, active life to, at her worst, living on her couch unable to walk, using a commode beside her.
Darren Parkinson (@greendarrenshipley.bsky.social) says #LongCovid has “completely devastated” his life. His body feels “poisoned”, the fatigue is 24-7 and overwhelming. He spends most of his time lying down and can only shower once a week.
Wes Streeting wants GPs to stop writing so many sick notes and send people to the gym. Worth remembering Brynmor John MP had #MECFS and died on Westminster Bridge in 1988 after exercising in the House of Commons gym. He had been advised to exercise his way back to fitness.
Dr Charles Shepherd (@meassociation.org.uk) explains how in the 80s and 90s psychiatrists claimed #MECFS was due to “deconditioning” and “abnormal illness beliefs”. Graded exercise therapy made many patients worse, with some ending up in wheelchairs. It was only removed from NICE guidance in 2021.
Emma Shorter was told people who don’t recover from behavioral treatment for #MECFS have made the illness their personality. She was told not to meet other patients and to trust the therapist over her own body. She went from walking 4 mins a day to needing a wheelchair.
People with #LongCovid, #MECFS and similar conditions don’t get the recognition and funding they deserve — @DrAmirKhanGP.bsky.social Unless decision makers have been personally affected, it’s almost as if they think ‘it won’t happen to me’ — @ZackPolanski.bsky.social
“They’ve had their lives completely demolished by this illness.” Millions are living with #LongCovid while society has moved on. Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social developed #MECFS following Covid and had to retire.
Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.
Posted 20 hrs ago "_paperplanet_: A call has the power to save a life & this is especially true for queer #kids. Trump cut that line, then erased every mention of #trans and #queer people from 360 #government records. Through this hotline trained counselors, picked up the phone..." Thread 2 👇
Greg Gutfeld claimed that Trump won the 2020 election. He then demanded that Jessica Tarlov explain court cases that proved Trump didn't win in 30 seconds. I provide examples directly from the $787.5 million defamation settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems.

$60 to fill up a PRIUS in Ohio. A PRIUS. She bought a hybrid to save money and Trump’s war ate that too. Every time she gets ahead — BAM. Pulled back 7 steps. She’s trying to build a house, trying to live, and he started a war nobody asked for. #TrumpsGasFailure
24 May 2026: Several Telegram channels report a fire at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. Reportedly, a Leroy Merlin warehouse near the Vesna shopping center is on fire, residents say on social media.
A leaked video from 2001 shows Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu talking about how Israel intentionally strikes Palestinians “painfully”, how he deceived the US to break the Oslo Accords, and how Americans will always support Israel if it faces backlash.
Trump trash talks a reporter who asks why--with high gas prices & hardships placed on the backs of Americans due to irresponsible war--he thinks spending billions on structures honoring himself is appropriate? Americans do need to take out the trash! #impeachtrump #dumptrump #resist #standup #trash
Aipac has to go. We send Billions to Isreal, we're the richest country in the world but no free Healthcare when Isreal has free Healthcare.. Greed. Tax the 938 people who hold $8 trillion in wealth 20% and they're still billionaires. The working Americans pay 29% average in federal tax.

Day 492 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope
Big news on energy market reform today. As we deliver the transition to clean, secure, renewable power, it’s vital we build a system that works for households and business, not profiteers. Today’s announcement shows the Government is determined to deliver exactly that ✅

U.S. @duckworth.senate.gov (D-IL) questions the Trump administration's reasoning for going to war with Iran. "I am deeply concerned that I don't think the Trump administration knows what their own goal line is, either."
The Right's claiming Albo's a liar for a sensible policy change on negative gearing when the election policies weren't increasing supply quickly enough. Good govt's adjust. One Nation's Pauline Hanson on the hand is just a liar. Net Zero integrity. #auspol #OneNation

I got that the other day. It does its best with the only source print, but is still really good. Curious 'duplicated and reversed shots' shades of Doctor Who: Underworld. I saw it on C4 in the early 90s on a Casio pocket tv and fell in love with it.
