PLEASE REPOST FAR AND WIDE SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE TRUMP STANDS

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Now that's how you respond to a Russian attack on your airport. Russia *wants* sabre-rattling and threats. That would help them recruit/conscript more troops for the war (to fight the NATO "threat"). Never give Russia what it wants. What it *doesn't* want is 1,000 Patriot missiles for Ukraine.

Must say I haven't had much of a problem with trolls, people are generally kind and helpful. It's the lack of spoons I battle with. #SpoonieAuthChat

So is there anything stopping every country in the world from suing Meta at this point? BBC News - Meta to pay up to $18bn to settle claims its platforms harm children www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The guy in this video is a master class in creeping out the creepers for the public good. study it.

I'm deeply ashamed of my profession. Its treatment of Jason Arday - right across the board - fills me with disgust and horror. The tormenting of a highly vulnerable man was seen as monetisable entertainment. This is a stain that won't wash off. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/19/j...

Drops of a strange water-like substance appear to be falling from the sky. How strange.

Crippling brainfog! Often can't write at all, and when I can, the fog seems to manifest as a weird form of ADHD. I can only focus when something's new or exciting, like e.g. a fight scene. Trying to put the finishing touches on the final draft OTOH is plain agony and takes months. #SpoonieAuthChat

Well I'm convinced.

I don't know Arday and I didn't follow the story closely. But I knew it was going to end exactly this way almost from the start. Don't tell me experienced journalists didn't. Everyone who reported on this story needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. This was tantamount to murder.

This statement. Don't know the guy or his politics, but this right here. Why is it controversial to love Jewish people and hate the current government of Israel? To despise Hamas *and* the attempted genocide of the Palestinian people? There's no contradiction in loving people and hating murder.

The UK's day of shame.

#ME is a demolition ball straight through the lives of every #pwME, destroying every part of their existence #pwME are demonstrating their resilience in the face of this whenever they share on social media Governments & HCPs MUST radically change how #ME is understood & treated

Managed to speak to an ME specialist at last. Went really well, but been flat on my back for 10 days as a result. And that's a good outcome for me 😞 What are you supposed to do when speaking to a doctor is bad for your health?

First time I've ever wished the UK had the death penalty.

29 degrees in my bedroom. If anyone needs me, I'll be frying an egg on my own forehead.

Everyone in Moscow now knows they've lost the war. Interesting to see how that plays out in the coming weeks. Also have to wonder how many of the air defence systems protecting Moscow are actually dummies. Always worth remembering Russia is run by a KGB officer, not the military.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

. The Blues Brothers (1980) . . . ... my favorite scene. 💙 👊 💙

I’m very fiery about Covid, and I know that puts people off. But I just read yet another post from someone with long covid, who has been sick for years, and is in their early 30s, and they say they understand now that they’ll never get married or have kids. That no one could love them like this.

Massive crash today, stuck in bed. Geeking out on Maul - Shadow Lord to take my mind off it. Actually very good! Nice when the franchise rewards us for persevering.

Woke up today looking like I belong on Futurama. Apparently I managed to hit myself in the mouth in my sleep (without waking up) and gave myself a fat lip. Either that or Rachel's finally had enough of me.

The response to two Member’s questions about ME in the House was pathetic. ‘integrated care boards (ICBs) should continue to commission appropriate services for patients with very severe #ME/CFS as needed.’ @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social There are no appropriate services, none. Disgusting!

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

1) A new study estimated the disability and prevalence of Long Covid and compared it to NIH research funding. Long Covid should receive $740 million per year, but it only gets 14%-50% of that amount, depending on how you count. ME/CFS only gets 1% of its proportional funding...

Donald wants to be on Russia's side in our war to destroy NATO, but have NATO on his side in the war to destroy Iran. That he says he's already won.

First draft of new novel finished! Spent YEARS not being able to write a single word due to ME and brainfog, then finished the last quarter of the book in 10 days 😁 So happy to have a working brain again, at least some of the time!

Any prospect of classic Harry Turtledove novels coming out on audiobook? @hntdove.bsky.social I can't manage longform any other way these days for health (brainfog) reasons, and I really miss Videssos! I was 13 when The Misplaced Legion came out, happy days.

Surprised everyone's just assuming it was Trump who kicked this off. It's the Israelis going after Iranian leadership, and they just happened to catch Khamenei and half his leadership above ground at a meeting, right when the US decided to go? 60/40 it was Netanyahu who pressed the trigger.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

All the best people are on Trump's Bored of Peace organisation. Glad we're not among them.

Trump poodle Nigel Farage says World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland. Appeasement of Trump means all powerful nations are free to expand their borders. Years of conflict & unrest would follow. UK needs political leaders, not poodles.

Managed to edit a full chapter today for the first time in a very long time. ME/brainfog has been so bad I've struggled to do anything much for years, so this feels like a win at last 😁

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The @weratedogs.com guy was very good again today.

From the FBI website: "Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature"

An agency that does not obey the law is not a law enforcement agency. By definition.
