I am anarchist and I write things to help people stay safe (for some definition of safe) while taking part in social movements. My focuses are on riot medicine and security culture.
Everything I write is free to download, reuse, print, remix, or anything else.
I have a friend in southern Sweden (Blekinge county) who finds themselves in a bind; they have a growing disability, due to an injury, that results in them having increasing trouble taking care of themselves. Their child, a young adult, will eventually want to move out, leaving them without help.
Their insurance apparently refuses to cover them due to a pre-existing condition, which is apparently a thing in Sweden?
I am too far away to be of useful, local assistance, especially since I don't speak the language.
Does anyone local or familiar know what their options are for healthcare, assistance, maybe legal aid?
Boosts welcome 🙏🏻
This tragedy hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves.
Frank Tyson, a 51 year old Black man, is dead after police tackled him and pinned him with a knee on his back. He gasped “I can’t breathe” 7 times & cops told him to “Shut the f**k up, you’re fine.”

The Canton Police Department in Ohio has released body camera video from the night a 53-year-old man died after he repeatedly told officers “I can’t breathe” as he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he was pinned to the ground.
Over the last six months Russia has killed 143 Ukrainian journalists, refuses to allow access to western journalists, & claims it investigated itself of any alleged wrongdoing & concluded that it followed international law in every instance—so we should trust them.
Sound ridiculous?
Because it is, and guess what, this isn’t Russia—it’s exactly what Israel has done.
The difference is we are helping defend against Russia but helping arm & enable Israel.
Where is the accountability?
the upside of having ADHD is that I can complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.
the downside of having ADHD is that I keep putting myself in situations where I need to complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.
