Just reviewed these #Ebola and #Marburg #PPE guidelines, dated 2026. It's shocking for those of us who advocated for better Ebola PPE in 2014. It uses the 1m rule and states "Paradoxically, wearing excessive PPE can increase a person’s risk of infection." Where is the evidence? 1/4 https://t.co/ZpljXiTsfe

She just gets better

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

The hair started falling out first.

Then came the blackouts.
The crushing exhaustion.
The unexplained pain.

For years, Gisèle Pelicot knew something was terribly wrong with her body.

One day, she looked at her husband and asked directly:

“Are you drugging me?”

Dominique Pelicot looked offended.

He denied everything.

After nearly fifty years of marriage, she believed him.

Why wouldn’t she?

They had raised children together.
Built a life together.
Retired to a quiet village in southern France where people saw them as the perfect couple.

But in 2020, everything shattered.

Police arrested Dominique for secretly filming women under their skirts in a supermarket.

When investigators searched his computer, they uncovered something horrifying:

Thousands of videos showing Gisèle unconscious in her own bed while men assaulted her.

For nearly a decade, Dominique had allegedly crushed sedatives into her food and drinks before inviting strangers into their home to rape her while she was unconscious.

He filmed everything.

The men came from all walks of life:
firefighters, nurses, journalists, soldiers,prison guards, husbands and fathers

Many later claimed they thought she was pretending to sleep.

Others argued that because her husband allowed it, it must have been consensual.

But an unconscious person cannot consent.

Gisèle remembered none of it.

She only knew she was constantly sick, confused, exhausted, and slowly losing herself while the man she trusted most manipulated her reality.

Then came the trial.

French law would have allowed Gisèle to remain anonymous.

She refused.

At 72 years old, she chose to reveal her identity publicly and demanded an open trial.

Her reason was simple:

“Shame must change sides.”

For months, she sat through testimony and watched evidence of what had been done to her.

She listened while men tried to excuse the inexcusable.

And she never backed down.

In December 2024, all 51 defendants were convicted.

Dominique Pelicot received the maximum sentence:
20 years in prison.

Outside the courthouse, Gisèle said:

“I wanted society to see what was happening. I never regretted this decision.”

Her courage transformed the conversation in France around drug-facilitated assault, consent, and victim shame.

Because what made her story so powerful was not only the horror of what happened.

It was what she refused to carry afterward.

Silence.
Embarrassment.
Shame.

She handed those back to the people who deserved them.

Gisèle Pelicot showed millions of survivors something the world too often forgets:

The shame does not belong to the victim.

It belongs to those who chose to harm them.

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

Absolute bombshell. Prominent Australian activist Juliet Lamont exposes the terrifying reality of Zionist detention.

She confirms Israeli forces systematically tortured activists, detailing horrific sexual assaults and beatings. MSM is actively hiding these war crimes.

I just went into one of the larger disability groups that I administer and people are talking, seriously, in the context of losing their NDIS supports, about accessing Voluntary Assisted Dying.

Time to get offline again.

Goodnight.

[Raina MacIntyre @Globalbiosec]

Transmission of #Ebola is being debated yet again. In the catastrophic West African epidemic in 2014, health workers were forced to work in surgical masks and many got infected. Medical journals refused to publish us, instead, publishing articles saying "less PPE is better". A nursing journal published us, because #nurses are at the frontline 1/2 https://t.co/vFtMO3sYul

[Sam Connor @criprights]

The catastrophic announcements about the Budget cuts to the NDIS, the slashing of 204,000 jobs and the ending of 1455 businesses in the plan management sector - as well as the disastrous announcements for disabled people ourselves - has been met with widespread and almost unanimous disapproval by the broader disability sector.

Except by a notable few, including Autism WA, whose CEO was appointed to the NDIS board not so long ago - and who is the Chair of NDS, who are also ‘welcoming’ the destruction of the scheme.

The so called ‘reforms’ will not only end jobs and businesses but also lives, will institutionalise thousands and see thousands more thrown into a State based void created when the NDIS was built 13 years ago.

Further legislation that landed last week contains unbelievably punitive arrangements for disabled people, including block funding arrangements, unprecedented powers given to the Minister, the transformation of the NDIA into an agency who can legally enter our homes to ‘search and seize’ and legal mechanisms enabling automated decision making, including debt recovery identical to #Robodebt.

Yet a media blackout on this. Why?

And then there’s this.

I find it of great interest that this part of recent correspondence by Mark Butler MP, cced to Minister Jenny McAllister, is heavily redacted under FOI exemptions s47C and s47E(d).

Those exemptions are commonly used to hide internal government deliberations and operational discussions. They are often invoked when governments want to shield ‘politically sensitive’ decision-making from public scrutiny. Given the extensive redactions around NDIA Board arrangements, it raises serious questions about what discussions, concerns, or negotiations the government does not want disabled Australians to see.

Like, perhaps, that Martin Laverty, CEO of Aruma, is a member of the Aged Care Advisory Committee of the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA).

IHACPA says the Australian Government asked it to identify opportunities for future NDIS pricing reform, including reviewing current pricing approaches and developing a pricing data strategy. It also says the NDIA remains in charge of setting NDIS prices “for now”.

https://t.co/q4HXynmVGP

You would think this would be a clear conflict of interest for the Alliance 20 spokesperson, whether that’s an official or unofficial role.

There’s also the fact that National Disability Services, who Aunty Joan is the Chair of, have been telling their members that they should support these reforms - despite the fact that thousands of smaller or unregistered businesses will go under immediately under new, ‘tiered’ pricing structures, which pay unregistered providers far less than those who don’t pay enormous sums.

And 50 Acres.

This stinks. #auspol

Today is Media Freedom Day.

I dare you, media, to speak out about this.

And I challenge politicians to accept the idea that it is okay to breach the data sovereignty rights of disabled Australians aka our new guineapigs, as well as kicking 300,000 people off the NDIS into an Australia with no foundational supports, with 204,000 jobs lost at the expense of AUKUS or refusing to tax billionaires.

We are only just getting warmed up. Examine your consciences, people; and if you are devoid of one and complicit in this silence, think of your career.

And wait - there's more dropping today.

We are a third of the population. And no Australian likes being manipulated, lied to or spied on. I can guarantee you of that.

[Sam Connor @criprights]

Last night, a few hundred disabled people, carers, allied health professionals and workers met to talk about what we would do in response to the cuts to the NDIS.

And I cannot tell you how angry and upset people are, @AlboMP. Not just about the cuts to funding, or to the prospect of block funding. Or 204,000 jobs that are proposed to be cut across Australia. Not even about the prospect of co-locating us with older Australians in segregated aged care settings, which are being actively trialled as we speak.

Those people are not just angry - they are furious. Furious at the breach of trust between our government and people with disability, our families and workers.

You could hear voices shaking with rage, the idea that we were more expendable, dispensable and disposable than other Australians. You have no *idea*.

But you're about to find out.

Across Australia, groups of disabled people, our families, our trusted professionals and our workers are organising. Not just a few of us, or a couple of groups - thousands and thousands of Australians.

But wait, there's more. Because of that enormous market that grew, and the dawning realisation of how it will affect each and every one of us.

And that's not even the majority of Australians, who realise that the NDIS is our safety net, like Medicare, against an accident of birth or genetics, or an actual accident.

Here's our contribution - a growing group of people who have put together 12 Days of Action, to put a stop to this seriously bad error of judgement by our government.

Because #EveryAustralianCounts and we want politicians to #KeepThePromise and #StopTheCuts.

Many hundreds of people over the past week have put together information about what they plan to tell us on Budget night, and the information will blow your mind. Our fact sheets drop tomorrow on the first day of our campaign.

Like others, I'm off to film how the changes will impact upon me. You can do the same thing - to tell the government that they must #KeepThePromise of our NDIS.

Tag your video and upload it tomorrow with #KeepThePromise, #EveryAustralianCounts, #StopTheCuts, #ReasonableNecessaryOrdinary, #SaveOurNDIS - and let us know if there are any more out there!

The NDIS.

Let’s start with the much repeated claims about fraud.

Casual racism and classism against individuals aside, there IS an issue with organised crime in this country.

Just ask Medicare.

But you don’t hear about that.

Why? Because this is a campaign to justify cuts.
