“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

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...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It’s so cute to see everyone having fun with this,you might enjoy the other story about Covid this morning, about a young mom with long covid who killed herself, possibly partially because her husband describes it as her being “obsessed” with her health and “refusing” to get out of bed. Funny, yeah?

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

If you are big tent for the bigots more than the people they're targeting, that's just the same old klan tent. "We have a place for you as long as you know your place" is not progress, actually.

You can't throw parts of your voter base to the wolves, tell us it's a winning strategy, then when you lose, blame the people you threw away for as the reason you lost. You chose that strategy, you've seen it not work for others, but you went ahead anyway.

This is the article to share with all your healthy friends and family to help them understand what’s going on. #LongCovid #ME
To be clear: not every disability or chronic illness is caused by COVID-19. However, the runaway acceleration in the diagnoses of common post-COVID conditions like ME, POTS, and autoimmune diseases is absolutely caused by the ongoing failure to control unmitigated COVID-19. And it's why there's an apparent "trend" in these diagnoses.

uh oh !!!! where have i heard this one before
Besançon said the now-retracted article was used to claim there was a cure for Covid, led to shortages of hydroxychloroquine and drove scientists to pour their attention into researching that drug rather than other promising leads. It also fueled conspiracy theories from people who argued the article was being attacked “because if there was a cure for Covid then they couldn’t sell their vaccines”, he said.

“A lot of time was wasted,” Besançon said. “It’s been a massively influential paper, and it’s also been used to push for an antivax agenda.”

It's funny that this is alongside the 'NHS WILL COLLAPSE WITHOUT CHANGE' banner because pushing people off benefits and into more severe forms of poverty will put even more pressure on health services. Mainstream politics in this country is just 'make everyone poorer and everything worse'.

We had a Public covid inquiry which stated clearly several months ago that the guidance is incorrect. The government cannot then keep blaming the Public for a rising benefits bill and ignore millions with long Covid when they pay out £8bn annually on long covid. It’s a false narrative.

“Culture of impunity” is right. The demand is to never hold public figures accountable for wrongdoing, not even verbally when they’re already beyond the reach of human accountability and won’t hear the criticisms and jokes. The legacy must be sanitized, or current elites might feel less impunity.
