Powerful testimony on #MECFS by Emma Shorter in the Scottish Parliament from 2018
âIt turns fit and active people into ghosts⊠I know teachers who canât teach, children who canât play, and parents who can no longer hold their children.â
3 take-aways from Orban's defeat.
(1) Despite years of muzzling counter-majoritarian institutions, OrbĂĄn did not command the full authoritarian apparatus needed to overturn a comprehensive electoral defeat. He could not jail his opponents at will, deploy the police/military as a personal militia.
21 Hours in Pakistan: How Vance Tried and Failed to End a War He Opposed
THREAD. This single headline in the NYT contains two outrageous claims reported as fact: 1) Vance "tried" to end the war; and 2) he "opposed" it. Neither is supported, but the thing to understand is: why is lying about the *intention* of powerful people so key to propaganda?
Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime.
It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.
BREAKING
ORBĂN HAS CONCEDED DEFEAT in the Hungarian election.
At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/
"This lack of overexertion has made me more mobile"
*This* is the thing that many (especially many medical professionals, unfortunately) cannot grasp about pacing. Instead of leading to deconditioning/reduced capacity, it can *increase* function.
It's INCREDIBLY hard to do, though.

Iâll say it again:
You donât earn billions.
You steal billions.
Billionaires are robber barrons.
And once you have them you can keep getting richer because:
People donât make money.
Money makes money.
And the ultra-rich is hoarding all of it.
And hat is the root cause of 99% of our problems.

Dette er fantastisk bra og vel pÄ overtid! Les, del videre, og snakk med folk du kjenner i politikken. Sexselgere fortjener trygge hjem, muligheter til Ä ha bankkonto/ ID, og rettferdighet under lovverket.
Helsedirektoratet har laget en retningslinje for hvordan ME skal behandles og blander sammen ME med andre lidelser. Det stor fare for at ME-syke fÄr feil diagnose, feil behandling og blir sykere.
Vi krever en egen retningslinje kun for ME.đHjelp oss ved Ă„ signere her: www.opprop.net/vi_me_syke_k...
Sissel spÞr: Hvorfor er det sÄ mange som hjelper dem? Jeg lurer pÄ de sykes pasientsikkerhet. Det har kommet tydelig fram hvem som det bekymres mest for. Ikke pasientene nei, men at denne forskergruppen skal fÞle seg trodd og anerkjent. NÄr kan vi gÄ til masse sÞksmÄl, er grensen nÄdd snart?
Dette er noe av det mest giftige dritet jeg har lest en toppleder lire av seg pÄ Är og dag, og det skjer ikke bare pÄ en *norsk* statlig arbeidsplass, men pÄ den som skal forvalte sparepengene vÄre. Oljefondet virker ikke bare som et forferdelig sted Ä jobbe, det er en sekt.
NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere.
Calm, coherent and repeating only Trumpâs own words. Devastating.
Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins.

This is dope as fuck!
I describe it as such as a historian of disability because I want to remind scientists and the world that the history of science IS the history of eugenics, scientific racism and medical racism, and more.
Iâm not comforting them with the idea that it was a âpseudoscience.â
This is your history.
Jeg er uinformert, dum, slesk, utnyttende og Ăžnsker Ă„ vĂŠre syk for Ă„ slippe Ă„ ta ansvar. Slik blir jeg fremstilt av ledende folk i helsenorge, fordi jeg har ME.
Jeg er tapper, en kriger, velinformert og troverdig sier de samme om mine 9 Ă„r med kreft.
Skal jeg le eller grÄte nÄr jeg hÞrer dem?
What I always hear: âWe canât afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.â
What I never hear: âWe canât afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.â
Funny how that works.

They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.
Kompetansetjenesten har en stor del av ansvaret for hvordan helsevesen og stĂžtteapparatet behandler ME-syke og den symbolske volden mange av oss opplever.
Forskning pÄ sÄrbare minoriteter, inkludert mindreÄrige, uten samtykke, inkludert sÄ sensitive opplysninger som psykisk helse og seksualitet, har vi jo meget gode historiske erfaringer med her til lands. Dette er sikkert greit og ikke et problem i det hele tatt.
Rett og slett sjokkerende lesing. Hvordan kan man ha tillit til forskere ved OUS etter dette?
Litt spesielt Ä ha en "kompetansetjeneste" som Þnsker Ä avskaffe diagnosen de skal ha kompetanse pÄ, kardinalsymptomet for diagnosen, og alle rapporter om negativ effekt av behandlingsmetoder?
#MEskandalen lever.
Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

Jeg ser dessverre noen paralleller i ME-saken ogsĂ„. Folk â pĂ„ begge sider â som sĂžker makt. Felles for dem alle er at de er vant til Ă„ fĂ„ det som de vil, og mestre i manipulasjon.
