Mad Pride protests in France denounced violence in medical treatment. One of the protestors said: “All my life, I’ve been told I was different. Today, I’ve come to fight against normality!”

Fantastic, powerful intervention from Antonia Trikalioti from @enil-eu.bsky.social, speaking of her rage and frustration at EU and State inaction on the institutionalisation of persons with disabilities, and her determination to continue to hold power to account.
A woman in a wheelchair with red hair wearing a black blazer speaks at a microphone during a European Parliament hearing. She sits at an orange desk with a nameplate reading "ANTONIA TRIKALIOTI" in front of her. Behind her is a beverage station with stainless steel dispensers and orange-paneled shelving. On a monitor below, a video presentation shows a renovated social care home in Poland, with caption text visible discussing EU monitoring and national income.

Pleased to be in the European Parliament with @stevenbp.bsky.social today on behalf of @validityfoundation.bsky.social, raising awareness on the use of EU funds for institutionalisation and other violations of fundamental rights which has been uncovered by the FURI project (tinyurl.com/469wm2pj)
A printed agenda for a European Parliament event titled "Fundamental rights violations in EU funds" co-hosted by FURI and The Greens/EFA. The document shows the event date (4 November 2025), time (15:30-17:30 CET), location (Room A5E1, SPINELLI building, Brussels), and lists speakers and discussion topics related to EU fund violations and fundamental rights protection. A parliamentary hearing room in the European Parliament with distinctive orange and wood furniture. Multiple attendees sit at an orange desk with microphones and papers on the left side, while others sit at a curved desk on the right. A large window with frosted glass panels dominates the background, and a yellow-lit wall is visible. A laptop and documents are visible in the foreground. Interior view of the same European Parliament hearing room from a different angle, showing the curved orange desk in the foreground with a microphone, papers, and a laptop. Several people stand in the background near the orange-paneled walls. The distinctive curved architecture with metal ceiling panels and orange textured wall panels is visible throughout the room. A printed report cover from FURI (EU Funds for Fundamental Rights) displayed on an orange table. The cover features a photograph of temporary housing units on barren ground and is titled "1.1 Billion Euros, 63 Projects, Six Countries, One Pattern: How EU funds violate fundamental rights." The report is dated May 2025.

La “Mad Pride” est une marche revendicative contre les violences psychiatriques et institutionnelles, qui appelle à repenser en profondeur notre rapport à la souffrance psychique. Son mot d’ordre résume toute une lutte : “Si c’est contraint, ce n’est pas du soin.”➡️ https://l.franceculture.fr/0Vq

Fermeture des petites maternités, destruction des PMI, etc.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we once again ask whether sanitised awareness days are truly the solution to decades of chronic underfunding of statutory services, and the social and material conditions that continue to drive distress.

Each year, NSUN and its members witness the fleeting spark of attention which awareness days attract quickly fizzle back into inaction.

Well that's my weekend sorted ...
A paperback book titled 'Soundings: poems we did for our leaving cert' by Augustine Martin with a foreword by Joseph O'Connor. The cover features an abstract design with green and blue spiral patterns on a dark green background. A turquoise sticker in the bottom right reads 'back by popular demand.' The book is photographed on a gray surface with other items partially visible in the frame.

An alert from @halberto1980.bsky.social on the authoritarian upsurge of mental health-related institutionalisation:
"When we silo “mental health” from housing, disability rights, harm reduction, tenants’ organising, or social protection, we weaken our own struggles". madthinking.org/2025/09/01/i...

Institutions leave people hidden and vulnerable to abuse.

It's unfortunately unsurprising to hear of the deficiencies in the initial investigation and the inquiry process.

I'm glad that Aaron is now living in the community with support. That should have been the case from the start.

Violence is never the answer; it perpetuates cycles of harm rather than fostering peace. We must wage peace with the same strength as the warmongers.
