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

OpenSecrets puts the total money spent by the pro-Israel lobby on the 2024 US federal elections at $78,118,068. www.opensecrets.org/industries/t... That amount is 16.9% of the $461,500,000 spent by corporate lobbies in the 2024 US federal elections, per the chart from @rbreich.bsky.social.

Federal corporate political spending has already reached nearly $650 MILLION ahead of the midterms, according to Public Citizen. That’s an all-time high — and we’re still months away from Election Day. Big Money is the real threat to “election integrity.”

You should complain about how the genocidal Israel lobby almost single-handedly destroyed the Democrats' chance to win the presidency in 2024. I left the Democrats in 2024, and wrote-in 'no confidence' because of the genocidal corruption. Denounce Israel, and win back January votes for healthcare.

This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.

Hi, everyone! For all the people who just followed me because of my recent posts about the risk of Medicaid loss in January due to Trump's new eligibility requirements, thank you for the follow! Because of epilepsy, I am in fact one of these people who is at risk to lose Medicaid! (Part 1/3)

I am sorry I did not add my voice to speak out against the media vitriol against Jason Arday before he passed. At least I did not add mine to the vitriol against him; he did not deserve this untimely fate.

Sending love to Jason Arday's family and friends. He was subject of sustained and malicious media attacks which were no doubt more vicious because he was Black. We must now reflect on the impact of a trial by some of the media and online on someone under extreme pressure.
