Israeli defence minister Katz has issued a decree to execute any child flying a kite.
Don’t forget to remain silent about this!
Silence is complicity.
Silence is taking the side of the psychopaths.
Silence is taking the side of those committing genocide.

We Need Your Help
Imagine starving to death and being allergic to all food. And everyday trying to decide between starvation and a deathly allergic reaction. ME/CFS is like an allergy to energy expenditure. Imagine everyday trying to decide between doing something that makes you feel alive or deathly sickness. The more you do, the less alive you feel. And the less you do, the less alive you feel. And the more you do, the less you are physically capable of doing. That is ME/CFS. Everyday. For decades.
But if you don’t have ME/CFS, and are not allergic to life itself, you could decide right now to help us. And it won’t cost you anything but an extra work day, or one less toy or luxury, or some other small sacrifice in an otherwise life full of blessings and opportunity. Which I would not want to take away for a second. But a small sacrifice from you would go a long way towards helping people living in absolute hell.

The world's first genomic study into ME, or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, has been announced.
Researchers are hoping that by building a genetic map of the illness, it will help pave the way for a future diagnostic test and even treatments.
But charities have warned that there is more to do and this must only be the start.

How is this not genocide? How can we all sit by and let this happen?
It is incomprehensible how little he values the human lives of others. Which country will be next?

British TV anchor @KamaliMelbourne of Sky News with a moving, personal response to Trump’s posting of the racist clip of the Obamas.
I know Kamali just a little. I’m proud of him for saying this — and sad we’re in a moment when he has to.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital is still starving severe ME patient Savannah. A psychiatrist came on Thursday and asked her why she hadn't got out of bed.
A BPS clinician is likely why.
Savannah is calling on the community for help once again 👇#MEcfs #pwME

Actor Hugh Bonneville on the “abomination” that is Israel's ban on aid organisations in Palestine:
"I call on all in my community, and that includes you, to speak up"

Greta Thunberg in Greece:
I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.
Israel is escalating genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an entire population in front of our eyes.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.
Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.
We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.
This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

ALL EYES ON THE GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA!

It's now less than 24 hours until MPs are expected to vote on disability benefit cuts.
We still have very little information and what we do know is concerning.
A thread on some of the things we do and don't know, and why MPs cannot take this leap into the dark 🧵1/12

The Disability Benefit Cuts Bill will unleash a domino effect of hardship for carers.
Many are disabled themselves so in future won't get the support they rely on.
PIP is a “passport” to Carer’s Allowance, some families will lose both - around £9,000 a year.
I’m voting NO.

Dear @UKLabour MPs,
We need you to sign the amendment. You cannot, in good conscience, vote for a Green Paper that will affect—quite literally—millions of the most vulnerable people in the country without an Impact Assessment. Work with us. Please sign now.
Thanks,
Everyone
