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

youtu.be/FTxkSMMo3tA @georgemonbiot.bsky.social here’s a wee film I made about having ME. Might help healthy folk understand. I’m in Scotland and was diagnosed over 25 years ago. There’s no consultant in the country and I’ve never had a treatment plan.

Election Interactive map -how to keep Reform out of Scotland archive.is/tCwgE

A screenshot of a news article from The National titled "Interactive map launched in bid to 'block Reform UK surge Holyrood'".
The image features two side-by-side visuals:
Left: A photograph of Nigel Farage in a suit and purple tie, looking downward.
Right: A map of Scotland and Northern England highlighted in pink, showing various city markers. A prominent yellow circle with the number "11" is positioned over the Scottish Lowlands.
The article's tags include "2026 Holyrood Election," "Green Party," and "Reform UK." A caption at the bottom states, "The map is meant to help progressives campaign against Reform UK."

We’re socialised to believe disability looks like someone sat in a wheelchair. But it’s also a young guy with HIV, a mum with lupus, or teen with ADHD. Badenoch and anyone can find that offensive but they don’t get to misquote the law. Their opinion doesn’t trump legislation.

NHS to test all 'trans' children for autism

The NHS will test all children who believe they are transgender for autism under new plans seen by The Telegraph.

Every child referred to a gender clinic will be "screened for neurodevelopmental conditions" such as autism and ADHD under new guidance, to be introduced in the wake of the Cass review.

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

This weekend, DHS targeted and seized Mahmoud Khalil as punishment for his political speech, and indicated that they are revoking his green card. They have since handed him over to ICE where he is being detained — his location unknown — and held for deportation without due process.

This is what fascist governments do, and it will not stop here. This extreme escalation is the test case; the Trump/Musk administration is trying to see how far they can go without public outrage and legal checks on their power. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.
