Every Child Deserves To breath 🌐 #CleanAirInSchools 💨💨💨💨💨 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks you Katherine Walsh and team For leading on this @bostonschools.boston.gov

"Something as simple as breathing in shared indoor spaces has become a barrier to accessibility and inclusion for millions of people, and it's time to change that!"

In the UK, young children have been denied Covid vaccines (even unavailable privately). Children currently in year 4 and above were the last to be offered any doses, and very few took them up. This year, even Clinically Vulnerable children will be denied access to any Covid vaccines.

CVF are proud supporters of the other important event at the UN today highlighting the need for "Clean Indoor Air". It is of vital importance to *everyone*, but especially for Clinically Vulnerable people. Thank you @drbronking.bsky.social 💙💜💗

"We all breathe the same air, but not with the same consequences. For people with chronic conditions and other risk factors, unsafe air means unsafe spaces."

"We have the tools. What we need now is the collective will to act. To mandate indoor air quality performance standards that effectively reduce the risk of exposure to pathogens and pollutants." "So accessible indoor air becomes the reality in all public spaces everywhere."

"By having real-time data, you can make smart, targeted, strategic investments in your school buildings, especially when resources are limited." Sensors are not enough. You need experts too.

Such amazing work!

"Clean Indoor air is a gap in our public health frameworks. We need to close that gap."

The organizers of the UN event for healthy indoor air used a canary on all their materials and gave everyone canary pins. Why? Canaries detect dangerous substances in the air of coal mines. We all need to be like canaries and warn about the dangers of unhealthy indoor air due to COVID and climate.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

There’s a historic indoor clean air high level event at the UN today. @drbronking.bsky.social is of course leading by example wearing a high quality mask while chairing the meeting 👏👏👏

Masking up and advocating for clean air at #UNGA w/ Violet Affleck and @myrabatchelder.bsky.social!

“ Whatever political capital you might have, you’re gonna need to spend it. The best we can hope for is that politicians spend it doing the right thing, even if it’s something that’s hard, that you know might not be popular. Just doing the right thing.”-Past New Zealand PM @jacindaardern.bsky.social

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

📢 Children and Young People Voices report about their pandemic experiences has been released today. We would be interested in hearing your views. There is a chapter on Clinically Vulnerable families. We have included screenshots below... 1/

Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com is REALLY good tonight, especially the long conversation with @mariaressa.bsky.social, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, who is blunt, brilliant and inspiring. Everyone should watch it. youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Stewart is right ✊🏼 #firstamendment #notofascism

From hospitals to care homes, infection prevention and control succeeds through leadership and collective responsibility. Strong leadership and shared expertise turn infection prevention and control into a culture, not just a checklist, or chore. #HCAI #COVID 👉 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Its been three years since a complaint was lodged to GNC about Malhotra’s anti- vaccine stance which has seen him continue to grow his sphere of influence reaching into US and now potentially Reform, UK policies

DLD is really very common. Way more common than other well know conditions such as autism. DLD is a difficulty with using and understanding words and sentences. And the biggest problem is that very few people have heard of it. Join our #DLDday campaign on October 17 2025. radld.org

The Electoral Commission has now named Clinically Vulnerable people in their documentation - this a first outside of pandemic measures. That means: ✅ Recognition ✅ Precedent ✅ HOPEFULLY a door open for wider inclusion and safety 3/ #MyMaskMyVote

📢 BIG NEWS!!! For the first time, the Electoral Commission has recognised the voting access needs of Clinically Vulnerable people - thanks to CVF! But we’re not done. They are running a public consultation, and we need your help! 1/🧵 #MyMaskMyVote

🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14

This should be a v useful resource for 🇺🇸 journalists, lawyers, & resisters. That’s averaging over 120 acts a month & Trump has speeded up rather than slowed down. His tribe no doubt is hoping the ensuing chaos will provide a smokescreen. This relentless, orderly bright like is twice as necessary

Person of the Century in my opinion.

The office of research and development “is the heart and brain of the EPA ... Without it, we don’t have the means to assess impacts upon human health and the environment,” Chen said. “Its destruction will devastate public health in our country.”

It's utterly mad. These people are the opposite of terrorists. THEY WANT PEACE. The police know they're not terrorists. The government knows they're not terrorists. Yet, on the Home Secretary's orders, they're being arrested under the Terrorism Act. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🚨BREAKING NEWS:arrests at Turo Cathedral The Terrorism Act does not conform to international law. The UN Human Rights Committee said the definition of terrorism is “unduly restrictive of political expression”. In times of destruction & genocide, the courage to act is a right & moral responsibility.
