The tactics of Ukraine shocked the West.

According to #French newspaper #LeFigaro, the crash of an #F16 fighter jet last week, killing a Ukrainian pilot for attempting to shoot down drones....... is like using a sledgehammer to drive away mosquitoes."
"Using fighter jets to intercept drones is some kind of perversion."

"#Ukraine CAN NOT WIN.
Every day there are new deaths, but they still get money, so the oligarchs are getting richer."

"… among people who enrolled in RECOVER within one month of getting COVID, just over 2.5 of every 100 people developed ME/CFS each year.

In comparison, among a matched group of people who were enrolled in RECOVER, but who were never infected with COVID, less than one out of every 100 people got ME/CFS.

This means that people enrolled in RECOVER who were infected with COVID were four times more likely to develop ME/CFS compared to those who did not get sick with COVID."

@treehugger SARS-CoV-2 is a cause of Long COVID which has a broad range of symptoms and impacts that overlap with ME/CFS, a broader diagnosis that has a range of etiologies. It makes a dangerous mishmash that confuses best treatments. Which we won't get for either because they are EACH complex diseases requiring complex and patient-centered care that is not available for most.
in reply to Lyndsay Barwell

@treehugger So is nicotine masking or a treatment? Not one I'd suggest--and given the risks of administration through tobacco....switch to low-dose psilocybin! heh. Well--seriously, that is a potential treatment--but altogether my point is that a multifactorial, overlapping and progressive condition requires a comprehensive therapeutic approach. I created my own antiviral protocol and either it resolved on its own (possible but unlikely) or that effort worked.
in reply to Lyndsay Barwell

@treehugger Thanks for this--sorry if I came off flip about nicotine. Former smoker anxiety--but yeah, the patches make sense. Does it make sense as part of a treatment regimen? Probably--been keeping a track (though have fallen off on updates) since the beginning and that is one I don't have listed. Yet. A review of the data. Dosing needs to be tailored far more often than it usually is.
biologyinsights.com/nicotine-a…
in reply to FIAR Light

It's a common response from ex smokers--fair though. While nicotine certainly doesn't make cigarettes attractive to people who've never smoked, I dont know if the effect is any different on ex-smokers. Patches certainly aren't addictive in the sense of wanting more than you need to function. Gum can be mildly addictive in this sense.
Some people don't get addicted to patches at all. I can't tell if I'm addicted to them like I am to caffeine or if...

@treehugger Eh--I'm not an AA junky. I did LOTS of drugs in my day and I don't fear it--I just learned to really despise tobacco. I suspect nicotine MAY be addictive but very often "addictive" is not as applicable when interventions are used therapeutically (e.g., opiates)....but something to look into. I'd say if the benefit outweighs the risk, addiction is a secondary issue that can be managed if the tx is no longer needed.
in reply to Lyndsay Barwell

@treehugger That's pretty much all we can do. I managed Hep C for decades with supps/herbs etc and could follow liver enzymes, viral load, histology. (Got genocidally-priced drugs that cured it some years ago.)

With LC? All we have is clinical symptoms and if you see that pattern of benefit, etc., I think you are using it wisely.
You can see my list--and yeah, sorry I think much is unavailable in the UK. ugh. fiar.us

in reply to FIAR Light

@LightFIAR interesting. I've bookmarked it as file won't open on my phone. I've also read an academic article about nicotine helping with side effects of HIV drugs. I am keen to put more effort into those types of things at some point as I've read about fasting and other supplements that help but at the moment a dissertation and jobs that have needed doing for ten years are priority.
in reply to Lyndsay Barwell

@treehugger Like any intervention, our "casual use" can be problematic as it may be salutary. Too much sun bad; blue light at night strains and hurts sleep. The good wavelengths may provide all sorts of benefits. In short--it's complicated but discernible what is helpful, innocuous or harmful. Real medicine would look at that complexity and address it; sure, one drug for a bug often works just fine. But often not.
in reply to FIAR Light

@LightFIAR
My understanding is that if a patient meets the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria then they have ME/CFS. The cause is not specified in diagnostic criteria.

Most cases of ME/CFS, but not all, are triggered by a viral infection. SARS‑CoV‑2 is just one possible virus. Flu (H1N1) and other viruses have also been found to trigger ME/CFS.

#Brits once again adding fuel to the fire of war.
"We will protect #Azerbaijan from #Russia in every possible way," said another Brit clown, this time the ambassador in #Baku, Auld.
If he means the same "every way possible" that Brits protected #Ukraine, Azerbaijan would do well to expel him immediately.

That might save its territory and 2-3 generations of dead soldiers.

First, save large-scale thermonuclear warfare, there is very little chance for our species to go extinct (a mass death of 90%, which is apparently what awaits if temperature rises 8°C or more, isn't extinction; so we still need to care for the survivors, and even more to limit the rise of temperature to something lower).
Second, this blackmail story is made-up, lending agency to a stochastic parrot (and has been debunked).

Report: French-based groups have accused Israeli snipers of French origin of deliberately killing Gazan civilians.

The snipers belong to an Israeli "Ghost Unit”, which was revealed in a recent documentary.

"Other complaints against dual national soldiers from the same unit will soon be filed in Italy & other European courts."

Other investigations are ongoing in South Africa & Belgium.

In a single week, a new settler outpost erases an entire Palestinian community 972mag.com/israeli-settlers-ou… #Israel #Gaza #Palestine @palestine

in reply to Proletarian Rage

Saturday afternoon, the settlers’ routine “walking tour” through the village escalated into an organized attack. Four #settlers began shoving young #Palestinians standing on the roofs of structures being dismantled. “[The settlers] were looking for a fight,” said Avishay Mohar, an activist and photographer who was on the scene.

The settlers and Palestinians began throwing stones at each other. Just when the confrontation seemed to have ended, the settlers called reinforcements: about 25 additional settlers — some masked, many armed with assault rifles and clubs — joined the attack on residents and international activists, who began fighting back.

One settler was struck in the head by a large stone, collapsed and lost consciousness. A Palestinian was also struck in the face by a rock. A second settler, reportedly a minor, seized the pistol from the vest of his passed-out friend and began firing into the air. “Another settler showed up with an M16 and started shooting at us,” Mohar recalled. As panic spread, residents ran frantically toward the neighboring village.
...By the next morning, not a single resident remained in Maghayer Al-Dir. All 23 families, totaling around 150 people, had been forced to flee.

3/ (Close eyes and ears. Condemn first the Resistance...)

Since October 2023, over 60 Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank have been displaced, with at least 14 new outposts built on or near their ruins. One violently expelled community — Wadi Al-Siq — faced abuse that included sexual assault, leading to the disbandment of the Israeli army’s “Desert Frontier” unit.

#sexualabuse #sexualassault #BlindEyes #collectivesilence
#IsraelTerroristState #terrorism #occupation #SettlerViolence #SettlerColonialism #colonialism

As +972 reported in August 2023, most of the communities in the territory between Ramallah and Jericho, an area of 150,000 dunams, were forced to flee during the previous months as settlers began rapidly constructing herding outposts and violently descending on residents, all with the backing of the Israeli army and state institutions. Now, only two Palestinian communities — M’arajat and Ras Al-Auja — remain in the entire southern Jordan Valley.

In all the previous #warcrimes, including bombing in European waters, by #IsraelTerroristState we didn't see ANY condemnation and any action by #europe. These are the results for European puppets who treat zionists as a normal state and not as a terrorist entity.
So, fuck European diplomats. They wanted jungle? Let em taste the result.

The claim in that screenshot simplifies a much more complex situation—and it’s misleading.

✅ Truth: Tennessee’s SB 392, taking effect on July 1, 2025, does create a felony offense for those who knowingly conceal, harbor, transport, or shield undocumented immigrants for financial gain—punishable by 1–6 years in prison and up to $3,000 fine

⚠️ The law targets "human smuggling"—that is, aiding someone with intent of commercial or private financial benefit.

in reply to วิสเคานต์ พระยม ✓ ㉝

@wy7usa I didn't look into that to be honest. But then, even as you describe it, the headline isn't wrong at all. After all, if you rent someone an apartment or whatever, you do that for profit, and what is it that you're supposed to do in order to make sure you're not prosecuted afterwards? Be a fuckin' ICE agent for free? Just doesn't seem right.
in reply to pat

@ThatCrazyDude
It has to be intentional and knowingly:

(2) Intentionally conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or intentionally
encourages or induces another to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, an
individual that the person knows has illegally entered or remained in the United
States, as determined by the bureau of immigration and customs enforcement of the
United States department of homeland security.

in reply to pat

@ThatCrazyDude
We have letter of the law and spirit of the law here.

The letter of the law says "Knowingly, intentionally harboring/concealing from detection" -- detection being the key word here, not renting.

And the spirit of the law: It's part of anti-human trafficking laws. So the intent is targeting safehouses of human traffickers.

I think the average landlord has nothing to worry about, even if he is renting to an illegal, without the intent of hiding him from ICE.

in reply to วิสเคานต์ พระยม ✓ ㉝

@wy7usa yeah, that works just fine every single time, because them authorities are so understanding and upright guys that they'd never interpret the law as much as they can in their favor and against you as they possibly can. That's why they'll totally only shoot your dog if it's certified to have rabies and a member of the Nazi party.

You’re not wrong—fighting charges can be costly, even if you're innocent. But you’re arguing ad absurdum—stretching the logic to the point where no law could ever be trusted. It’s like saying murder laws are pointless because someone might falsely accuse you. Sure, abuse happens—but intent, burden of proof, and due process exist precisely to prevent that abuse from becoming the norm.

@ThatCrazyDude
Just like it is illegal to hire an illegal. Every employee is to fill out an I-9 and show documentation why he/she is allowed to work in the US.

The employer is not allowed to question the validity of the presented documents because they are not forensic/immigration document experts.

Can't expect casual landlords to figure out who is legal or not.

Key in this legislation is intent and knowledge.

Arab states take part in Greek air drills alongside Israel
thecradle.co/articles/arab-sta…

The drill, hosted by Greece from 31 March to 11 April, includes joint air combat simulations and operational coordination.

“All types of air operations will be executed at an intense combat pace, both day and night, covering the full spectrum of modern air warfare through a series of complex and highly realistic scenarios,” Greece’s Hellenic Air Force said in a statement.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation's (KAN) military correspondent Itay Blumenthal said on 31 March that Tel Aviv was surprised to see the full list of participants published on the Hellenic Air Force's website, especially given its request to keep its involvement, and that of others like Qatar, confidential – in light of Doha's known political support for #Hamas and its involvement in the ongoing “Qatargate” scandal.

Blumenthal noted that “#Qatar and #Israel are now training together in #Greece.”
