Den 9 juni röstar riksdagen om att kraftigt begränsa asylsökandes rätt till kvalificerat juridiskt stöd. Utan sådant stöd ökar risken att asylskäl inte kommer fram – något som kan få livsavgörande konsekvenser. Vi hoppas att riksdagen väljer att värna rättssäkerheten och röstar nej till förslaget.

He’s now going after EDS and mast cell patients (again, he had run-ins decades ago with celiac and mast cell food intolerance folks over his “gluten allergies are fake” book) Particularly EDS/MECFS patients needing neurosurgeries, and he’s spreading misinfo about patients and clinicians online

"Harborne’s string of donations to Reform UK in the last year, outside a national election period, has really upped the pace. The power of his cash is already showing up in Farage’s glitzy big events full of pyrotechnics, bold wraparound adverts in newspapers, massive mailshots ..."

I don't remember at times how to wash myself while in the shower, I have notes of everything important to be safe and my partner works mostly from home to take care of me, and I am terrified of doing a mistake that is perfectly normal due to my illness, but that can be interpreted as intentional.

”Politikerna pratar gärna om att yrkeskriminella dränerar bidragssystemen på pengar. Det är oftast inte det vi ser. Vi ser vanliga medborgare som blivit sjuka, är utbrända och av olika skäl gör fel. Det här är ett systemfel” www.tv4.se/artikel/7wLB...

Don't you just "adore" those politicians who write their social media posts, even the very short ones meant to be mocking other politicians, with ChatGPT, and then copy-paste the answer of ChatGPT verbatim in their social media post, including the chatbot's question on whether you like its response?

The bank I use changed its app features and, to my pleasant surprise, asked me if I want to have this new interface, or if I prefer the old one, and explained where each feature is to be found in the new configuration and how it works. This is showing respect for your clients.

Jivankas are working hard to destroy a natural reservation in Albania to build a monstrosity of a hotel and a yacht marina that no one wants and no one needs. They behave as if they are the first to discover that island, despite the island being known for millennia. Colonialism at its peak.

It is election year, so that is why funds are given for very visible work on infrastructure. It is something that one includes on their Bingo cards for election year.

Funny how members of parties that invoke protecting women and children as reasons for their horrendous anti-immigration stances are more likely to be revealed as domestic abusers, sex pests and pedophiles as compared to members of other parties. It is as if they accuse others of crimes they commit.

Let's Find A Kinder Way To Blame Long Covid Patients

"Could COVID Increase Your Risk for HPV-Related Cancers?" A study of 4.8 million women found contracting COVID-19 in 2020 was linked to a higher risk of HPV-driven cancers 3 years later. Across all age groups, SARS-CoV-2 was associated with elevated rates of cervical, anal, and vulvar cancers.

"How a radical new view of life could reveal its origin – and aliens We've been looking at nature the wrong way, argues Rowan Hooper. If we stop focusing on the individual, we get a whole new picture of how life on Earth – and elsewhere – may have begun" www.newscientist.com/article/2526...

🤦‍♀️ Fascists get a hold on power when the rest of the society loses their spine and starts giving them significant public space. This whitewashes their inhumane views as being normal, so other people follow suit. Not everyone has an internal moral compass nor is capable to sieve through the nonsense.

"Om något så har SD radikaliserats av makten. Det blir lätt så med etniska nationalister, att de höjda insatserna aldrig räcker. Om du säger stram invandring så säger de noll invandring och när vi nu snart är nere på noll så börjar jakten på människor som redan lever här."

Long Covid Reframed As Fight-Or-Flight Loop By People In Ignore-And-Deny Loop

"Almost 40% of respondents said that their supervisor was disorganized and poor at communication. At least 30% reported one of the following issues: abrupt attitude changes; lack of support; lack of empathy; and supervisors contacting them outside working hours." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Not a single day passes without the ultraconservatives and the far-right taking a horse dose of vitamin V (V from victimisation) via their endless complaints in the media and on social media of how discriminated their privileged behinds are, of how censored they are while dominating the media cycle.

Har tänkt så mycket på hur mycket hatet mot ME-sjuka som egentligen är fördomar om bortklemade, svaga kvinnor. När den offentliga vården förvägrar oss läkemedel så kan den som ha råd försöka med privata läkare. Vissa lyckas då få lite lindring, andra inte. >>

Långtidscovid och kvacksalveri: "Like most alternative medicine scams, brain retraining is based on taking something legitimate from medicine (in this case, neuroplasticity and CBT) and putting a spin on it that involves pseudoscience and a money-making scheme." x.com/SalvMattera/...

You know people are not serious, are not up to date with knowledge when they bring outdated constructs such "mind/body" and "hardware/software" to justify their dismissal of physical illness as psychological. The brain is just another organ in our body and it's often physically impacted by illness.

🧵OF KEY CONCERNS We've now read Alan Levinovitz's WIRED piece on Long Covid. Our concern isn't that it discusses psychological theories. Our concern is that it repeatedly conflates criticism of evidence with creating a "climate of fear". Those are not the same thing. /1

🔥Levinovitz's article is a firestorm of conflation & misrepresentation He tries to reframe the community as toxic gatekeepers, whilst claiming there is a treatment but THEY are keeping it from you. Classic grift It's time to stop blaming patients' fear as being the problem

My body is protesting with pain and exhaustion the 3 hours outside the house on Sunday, when I walked a little bit, with breaks and a lot of rest. It doesn't matter how well I pace before an activity and even during it, if that activity is not sparkling with my body at that time. #ChronicIllness

Swedish opposition warns new law means 21-year-olds risk being deported instead

#LongCovid community: this account is a little bit suspicious, claims to have resolved their long covid via pseudoscience (Lightning Process - the creation of a lifecoach osteopath, New Age woo-woo meets pseudopsychotherapy). I would be careful with what this account claims.

Not surprising that Kaiser Permanente, both a hospital network and health insurer, put resources to “researching” a way to make Long Covid the fault of the patient.

Please stop with this pseudoscience. Brain retraining does not treat or cure long COVID. You need to review the science. All half million plus pieces of it. Articles like yours are harmful to long COVID sufferers. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...

There are several permutations of the Lightning Process and they are all humbug @wired As if you would trust the oil and tobacco companies on climate change or cancer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lig... @quackdetector.bsky.social

With Blodomloppet in Stockholm this week, I urge you all to make blood donations if you can, wherever you are. I won't be able to run this year, sadly but as a one time blood receiver, please consider donating blood or at least learning more about this.

5. Invandringen till Sverige de senaste tio åren har ingenting att göra med med möjligheterna för en lyckad integration. Integrationen funkar bättre idag än innan 2015. Största hindret är den statliga rasismen och vi-och-dom-tänkandet som kommer med en invandringsfientliga politik.

Som funkis och kroniker så lever jag i en värld där mina medfunksiar och medsjuklingar hela tiden får kommuncierat från alla håll att vi ska nöja oss med knapp överlevnad. Vi görs i princip moraliskt skyldiga att lida. Folk får hemtjänst i stället för assistans, lever extremt knapert osv.

Two seasons in one in Sweden, as spring and summer seem to overlap this year.

QX: Över hälften av kommentarerna i svenska digitala miljöer är fientliga mot hbtqi-personer, visar en ny FOI‑rapport. Samtidigt pekar både regeringen och RFSL på att hatet leder till ökad otrygghet, självcensur och att människor drar sig undan från det offentliga samtalet. www.qx.se/samhalle/sve...

Similar to any other inhumane government that enacted absurd anti-immigration policies that ended up affecting children and vulnerable people, this current government in Sweden propped by the far-right created problems and now they want us to 👏 at their meagre solutions to the crisis they created.

Vad hela den här debatten missar är att Wold sitter och sprider konspirationsteorier som att FN inte går att lita på eftersom de påverkats av translobbyn. Inte så särdeles transcendent, och någon som har en så okritisk inställning till sanningen bör kanske inte lyftas som expert av PS.
