People with the post-COVID19 condition and ME/CFS are often told they will not recover. This is not correct. We compiled recovery stories from people with mind-body conditions on The Recovery Channel.

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

More grim news from Gaza,the crime scene that never closes. No ceasefire -declared, imagined or hoped for- can shield Palestinian journalists from Israel’s violence.

RIP Mahmoud Wadi.Solidarity to his family,or what remains of it.

225–250 journalists killed in Gaza in 750 days

Today, I joined 500+ researchers from 70 countries in calling on world leaders to create an International Panel on Inequality modelled after the IPCC— as recommended by the G20 Committee on Inequality led by @JosephEStiglitz. Help us spread the call.

Good morning! Seems like Trump says he wants to start nuclear testing again. We don’t quite know what he means with that, but here’s what is really important right now.

[IPPNW @ippnw.bsky.social @IPPNW]

IPPNW and @PSRnuclear jointly condemn dangerous recent announcements on a resumption of U.S. Nuclear Testing. Read the statement:

Buenos días,

NO ha habido orden de evacuación en esta zona de nuestro barrio. Esta zona llamada "Ciudad Vieja" (Old City), siempre dentro del gran barrio El Zeytoun, NO ha recibido orden de evacuación. Nosotros estamos bien, gracias a Dios. Recemos por la Paz.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I commend the UK ambassador for her strong statement at the UNSC. I urge the UK and other governments who are finally raising their voice against the abysmal inhumanity unleashed against the Palestinian people, to walk the talk and impose sanctions on Israel now.
Together we can stop it, and we will.

Researchers examine patient recovery in fibromyalgia, a condition related to other chronic fatigue conditions #mecfs #LongCovid . Here are their conclusions

[Paul Garner @PaulGarnerWoof]

This article highlights financial conflicts of interest for ME Charities (also applies to crowd-funded individuals) when they dismiss recovery and propagate "wait for a drug" narrative #MECFS #Fibromyalgia. Promotion of permanence and dismissal of mind-body approaches risks exploiting vulnerable people

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Just to be sure, on this day more than ever: I stand firmly and convincingly on the side of justice, as I have always done. I come from a country with a tradition of illustrious legal scholars, talented lawyers and corageous judges who have defended justice at great cost and often with their own life. I intend to honor that tradition.
Also: it is called the Rome Statute for a reason, and I am proud of it.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:

“Israel and the U.S. — not Iran — have nuclear weapons. And only the U.S. has ever used one.

Being their ally puts us in danger.

NATO doesn’t protect us; it drags Europe into Trump’s wars.

We don’t want another Iraq. Spain must leave NATO now.”

[Melissa Parke @MelissaParke01]

The illegal and dangerous attacks on Iran by nuclear-armed Israel & US show that ‘there are no right hands for wrong weapons’ as former UNSG Ban ki-Moon said. All states should join the @nuclearban treaty #tpnw and uphold international law NOW.

They dragged me off the Parliament podium, not for breaking a rule, but for speaking the truth.

Seventy-seven years after the Nakba, the world is witnessing a second Nakba unfold in Gaza.

You can try to silence me, but you cannot silence the Palestinian people, and you cannot silence the world’s outcry.

[Dr. Mads Gilbert @DrMadsGilbert]

Brutal Israeli attacks on the last remaining hospital in Jabalya, Northern Gaza, which serves nearly half a million people. STOP IT NOW!
The WHO and the ICRC must protect Al Awda Hospital NOW!

European countries were once committed to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons through the #NPT. Today, their complicity and silence threaten the very treaty they helped build. Read more in this op-ed by @MelissaParke01
