1) Todd Davenport and his colleagues from the Workwell foundation published new data on 2-day exercise testing in patients with Long Covid. These showed reductions in workload and VO2 max on the second test, similar to ME/CFS patients.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social is one of #pwME's most loyal courageous & committed allies. He's a hero who tells the truth about what's been done to #pwME & by whom There's an interview with him here, no mention of #ME but an insight into his life & his values🔗👇 creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

We've just launched the Trans Unity Quilt Project, a campaign by and for trans people across the UK to bring joy and hope by making a quilt that will stretch over 50m long 🎨 Make your own patch 👇 goodlawproject.org/campaign/the...

It is excellent. Minnesota is a case study on how to turn people who don’t see the point of protesting into determined protestors. I am blown away by their courage in the face of a rogue, murderous state. The other America. Try this link archive.is/2026.01.26-0...

Does anyone know what is happening with #justice4ME ? I remember donating as did many other #pwME but haven’t heard since. It might be useful in the case of Savannah. #ME

It is absolutely no surprise that Nigel Farage is also mentioned 18 times in the Epstein emails released in November 2025.

Reminding you all that Nigel Farage has proudly claimed he is going to be setting up a British version of ICE here in the UK to terrorise us just like American ICE if he ever becomes PM. He has openly said he wants to deport legal migrants.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Harvard researchers studied 143 Long COVID and 170 ME/CFS patients and found both groups showed nearly identical signs of brain blood flow issues, small nerve damage, and widespread autonomic failure. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

There is a reason that Palestinians and Black Americans felt common cause with one another ... because of overlapping experiences with the same types of tactics and the same types violence. In other words, it’s been here the whole time.

I just want to point out that Alex Pretti became a registered nurse in early 2021 -- the height of death from Covid. And he chose the ICU, the sickest patients, in Veterans Affairs.

Being blocked seems to me optimal for Burnham. He gets to "would have easily won" without actually having to contest the seat, establishes himself as the contender Starmer fears most and, if Labour lose, gets "Keir would rather hurt the party by losing a seat, than have a rival win it" as a bonus.

I think this is right. In general the thing that *all* the replacements to Starmer haven't reckoned with (other than Miliband, who doesn't count because IMV he genuinely does not want it), is that Reeves' budgets have placed neither public services nor the public finances on the road to recovery.

Reform MP Andrew Rosindell tells the BBC that he "would not object" to scrapping the NHS and replacing it with private insurance

NBA star Tyrese Halliburton speaks out

Trials for every ICE member.

If you’re an elected official, talking about reforming ICE should be instantly disqualifying. I don’t want to hear one goddam thing about electoral strategy There is no excuse anymore, not that there was before. You don’t reform death squads

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

People find it hard to believe, but #PwME (and now, probably people with #longCOVID) have a worse quality of life than people with many other serious health challenges. This isn't to claim some sort of medal in the suffering Olympics, just a plea to take these diseases seriously. #disability

Researchers in South Korea found that SARS-CoV-2 selectively disrupts the brain’s orexin system, leading to lasting cortical neuron damage. Boosting orexin levels reversed this effect, revealing a possible root of Long COVID fatigue and brain fog. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

TW: Medical neglect, severe ME/CFS An NHS hospital has withdrawn vital medication from a severe ME patient that enables her to tolerate food and fluids. She is now showing signs of dehydration following the removal of her IV fluids. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

And now, after another almost 20-year lull in antiviral treatments for #MECFS, I'm personally benefiting hugely from a homebrew version of #IMC-2. Antivirals hold promise for some of us, I've always believed. #TREATME

Scientists just mapped tiny veins across the entire living human brain in under 7 minutes using ultra-high resolution MRI. Previously this kind of detailed view was mainly built from postmortem (after death) methods. Here’s what they did and why it matters.

- Nearly 2% of the adult workforce in the U.S. is unable to work because of ME/CFS or long COVID, costing the economy between $30-50 billion annually in lost productivity and health care costs.

URGENT: An NHS hospital is starving a severe ME patient & has now stopped giving her fluids. Savannah has now lived with severe ME for several years - but the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in South London is putting her life at risk. @h-sharland.bsky.social has the story www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

@jennimintomsp.bsky.social this is the type of NHS care you will be building for people with #ME/CFS if you go ahead with the current plans submitted to you by the various scottish health boards. This is what happens when Bacme, the organisation of our psychologisers, is directly involved.

Dr Diane O'Leary has made an excellent comment on Emily Mendenhall's Substack, revealing she had a similar experience with Wessely. We agree that the world would be a better place if the silenced material could be published.

Heckle him, you absolute cowards #davos

1) A follow-up study of more than 2000 Long Covid patients at the University College London Hospitals shows that only one-third achieved satisfactory recovery (>75% of best health). Rather disappointing results.

Replacing one dependency with another is not a sustainable approach to energy in Europe. The only way out of this is to move full speed ahead on electrification, energy efficiency and renewable energy. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

#Australia & #NewZealand continue the barbaric experimentation on children and families with very severe ME as was endured by Ean. #England accuses families of murder in death from #vsME & persists in child protection orders in severe #ME. #UK needs high level leadership to teach medics about PEM.
