Al Jazeera has been reporting on the release of 46 Palestinian women and minors by Israeli authorities on Thursday. We spoke with members of the group, some of whom were taken from Gaza months ago. 🟥 Read report: aje.io/ibqqdf

COVID was an opportunity to adapt & be a more inclusive society. We could have learned about airborne spread & adopted clean air standards. Improved ventilation. Made more outdoor spaces. Normalized masking. Instead we’ve politicized infection control & made society less safe for everyone

“Every day there are more published studies about how bad SARS-CoV-2 is for many different organ systems.”

Ever wondered how #LongCOVID affects your body? Your organs have a story to tell. Learn what they wish you knew and how to support them. 🧠🫁🩸🫀🔬#LongCOVIDJourney #ChronicIllness #HealthAwareness #PostViral #LongHaulCovid #Covid #humanbody

“Contrary to what is often portrayed in the media, long COVID is not a mystery. There is a straightforward reason at least some people may remain ill “after COVID”: They still have the SARS-CoV-2 virus — or parts of the virus — in their bodies.” www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Worked hard on this, and I hope it will be a useful resource for many. A beginner’s guide to Long COVID, with a discussion of mechanisms: www.thegauntlet.news/p/what-is-lo...

Everything about this sucks but I can't quite get over the codename being UNDERCOVERJEW then this

If you haven't been masking, today is the best day to start doing so again.

Remember that a mask does more than protect against covid. A well fitted respirator will also keep you safe from flu, measles, TB and other airborne viruses. It will keep those around you safe if you’re sick. It’s an easy way to demonstrate community care and solidarity.

The ABC continuing their recent practice of punching themselves publicly in the head. For an organisation dedicated to avoiding any or all controversy at all costs, this has to be one of the greatest own goals in the Australian national broadcaster's history. Who is pushing this? #LattoufvABC

Of course they came first for Trans Men and Women because that’s what the Nazis did. You go after the smallest most vulnerable groups and then you see you get away with it and you keep on going.

Ethnic cleansing? Yeah, give it a try... At least we know when it comes to advocating for Trump, "Strategic Analysis Australia" has no limits

Had a sleep in because notionally I am on sick leave after the bike crash, and cripes.... Just checked in on @amyremeikis.bsky.social's live blog and it has been a morning - live.australiainstitute.org.au

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

New: After the IDF killed Zomi Frankcom in April, @SenatorPayman told Penny Wong she was willing to be "the bad guy" and call for sanctions on Israel. Wong turned her down, saying "it’ll just corner the government and make life difficult for us". everythingisfine.beehiiv.com/p/fatima-pay...

A journalist who has spent the last 16 months documenting the horrors of Israel’s genocide now shares the return of displaced Palestinians to the north—an area Israel desperately tried to ethnically cleanse during its months-long siege.

Trump says Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza, calling the territory a ‘demolition site’ after Israel’s 15-month war: ‘You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.’

BREAKING: At least 11 people have been killed and 83 others injured in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon so far, says the Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ab8bxo

“Refugees for thee not for me.”

This is terrifying. What's worse, is that Britain has chosen the side of Musk, Netanyahu and Trump.

Displaced people in southern Gaza are waiting to return to northern Gaza, although most of their homes are destroyed, but they love the soil of their homes.🇵🇸

I see why it’s said that nice people make the best Nazis, because what’s happening now in the US wouldn’t be possible without the polite silence or cordial complicity of great masses of people

One of the easiest, most visible ways to resist is to mask Safeguarding your health is more important than ever. It’s easier to fight back when you’re not chronically ill It shows you care about disabled & marginalized individuals It tells government you won’t be complicit in the harm of others

Many don’t want to talk about COVID and it’s understandable. We all want the Pandemic to be over, no one wants to think about the possibility of organ damage and long covid. Hardly nice conversation to talk about. If we don’t talk and act we are condemning the children to a future of poor health. 🧵

Wherein "mildly progressive agenda" is code for maintaining the status quo. Don't know about you, but I kinda hoped for more. Seems to be the case in the US, UK and Oz, the catch cry is "vote for this underperforming party, coz the other side is so much worse." That's where we are.

H5N1 has some parallels to COVID, but one key difference comes to mind. Those of us paying attention get to watch as the building blocks of potential catastrophe are assembled, slowly and sleepily, right before our eyes.

We’ve been led to believe that repeat Covid infections are: 1) inevitable 2) good for us & “building immunity” 3) mild unless you’re “vulnerable” None of it’s true. A well fitted respirator offers excellent protection against COVID. It’s virus soup out there. Sick of being sick? Mask up!

#BREAKING 🚨 Al Jazeera has slammed the Palestinian Authority’s decision to suspend its broadcasts after accusing it of airing "inciting content" The network says it considers the move "in line with the [Israeli] occupation’s actions against its staff"

Al-Quds Today Channel: "We mourn a group of our colleagues, who were killed by Israeli occupation forces targeting their broadcast bus in the #Nuseirat refugee camp, central #Gaza, while they were performing their journalistic and humanitarian duty." #Palestine

GAZA: 5 Palestinian journalists were killed when an Israeli air strike targeted their press van. The journalists worked and slept in this vehicle, thinking they would be safe. More than 200 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli attacks. - Hamdah Salhout reports

Children, health workers and journalists reporting the deaths of the former are the IDF’s favourite targets. Everyone associated with the IDF carries the stain of this genocide.

Do this to spite the worlds richest man

Look how that very limited military operation by Israeli occupation forces turned parts of #Rafah into an unrecognizable wasteland. And that was in September! Since then, the rate of demolitions has only further increased. #Palestine #Gaza

Australians have been living with COVID for years. When will it stop being called a pandemic? | SBS News "The World Health Organization (WHO) still refers to COVID as a pandemic on its website and lists it under its current health emergencies" www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
