Here's my pledge to my fellow PAIS patients: As a media maker, journalist & humanitarian worker, if in future, I'm well enough to shed light professionally, on the lived experience & abandonment of & research into PAIS patients around the globe (incl South, minorities), I will 💙
We are slowly poisoning our planet's air supply. At the current rate of increase, less than 200 years will pass before CO2 concentrations become toxic (>1000 ppm) to human life.
Long-term exposure to outdoor #AirPollution, including PM2.5, nitrogen dioxide, and soot, is associated with a higher risk of developing #Dementia, highlighting the need for targeted policy interventions. @Cambridge_Uni @TheLancet doi.org/g9t6h4 medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-t…
As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

Ceasefire. Ceasefire. Ceasefire. We have tonight shared our plan to reach everyone in Gaza. We are ready. Enough. Let us work.
We hold all parties to the standards of international law. We don’t have to choose – and we must not choose – between ending the starvation of civilians in #Gaza and demanding the unconditional release of hostages. My remarks at Security Council:

🧵This study of 10 #mecfs patients given daratumumab has recorded huge improvements. Its too small at 10 patients, it has no control but when 60% go from 32.2 to 78.3 on 100 point scale and more than doubled there step count that is not what we normally see with drug trials.
Clip Sarah Boothby on todays BBC Breakfast segment on the UK government's new #MECFS Delivery Plan “I was accused of fabricating Maeve’s symptoms right up to the point in which she died. Two days before she died, we were subject to safeguarding investigations.”
Clip of Dr @BinitaKane speaking on BBC Breakfast about the new #MECFS delivery plan. The plan changes nothing now. “There are no commissioned services, so clinicians can’t practice this medicine within it. That forces both doctors and patients into the private sector.”

Another Hebrew-only Ynet piece—this time by veteran Israeli reporter Ron Ben-Yishai—is more candid and direct than anything printed in English. It lays out how the Israeli government is starving Gaza and killing those desperate enough to seek food.

For those saying I'm lying, or that my experiences aren't representative, here's @simonerzim talking about her Jewish upbringing in LA. Anti-Arab racism, and the epistemological genocide of Palestinians, is an integral part of Jewish education the world over.
At my Jewish primary school & cheder, we were taught not only that Arab lives were worth less than Jewish ones, but that "Palestinians" didn't exist. Anyone who denies this is commonplace within Jewish communities is lying. Watch the film 'Israelism'.
