Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

So YouTube has channels for AI creations of women being murdered. Yeah.... Soooo

😅😂

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

There’s a historic indoor clean air high level event at the UN today. @drbronking.bsky.social is of course leading by example wearing a high quality mask while chairing the meeting 👏👏👏

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

@ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social A reminder that 1 in 10 and probably higher now have #Longcovid Labour wouldn’t have such a large health benefits bill if you focused on health preventions. Instead you are cutting vaccines and failing to roll #Cleanair www.bbc.com/news/article...

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

“What the administration is doing violates the First Amendment and the Communications Act,” Anna Gomez (the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner) told TNR's Greg Sargent, noting that the government is “using the public interest standard to go after anything it doesn’t like.” trib.al/oejJkrD

So, they’re going to charge $180 for a COVID vaccine instead…. That should reduce ER visits, hien? The stupid just burns bright here. #cdnpoli #quebec www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We’re not dealing with the threat of authoritarianism anymore. We’re already there. 🚨 Trump floats stripping networks critical of him of their broadcast licenses — “They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license” 1/4

La semaine dernière au Québec, 200 nouveaux patients hospitalisés avec la Covid, et 8 décès. Ma blonde travaille avec de aînées. Elle n'est pas personnellement à grand risque (sauf pour la Covid longue, hein?), mais avec un vaccin elle a 2 fois moins de chances d'infecter une aînée. Misère...

J'ai créé un exemple de lettre en anglais et en français à envoyer à votre député et au ministre de la Santé au Québec pour leur demander de garder le vaccin COVID-19 accessible et sans frais! N'hésitez pas à partager avec toutes les personnes vivant au Québec!

Maintenir le vaccin COVID-19 sans frais au Québec! Voici un modèle de courriel pour signaler votre inquiétude suite à l'annonce récente selon laquelle les vaccins contre la COVID-19 coûteront désormais entre $ 150 et $ 180 dollars chacun : docs.proton.me/doc?mode=ope...

150-180$ pour un vaccin je pense que rfk est devenu le responsable de la santé publique au québec, mais qu'on a oublié de faire l'annonce sérieusement, ça renforce le message que les vaccins, pas juste celui pour la covid, sont inutiles

Spot on. The First Amendment in on death watch right now. Ht @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

‘LOST’ creator Damon Lindelof pledges not to work with @Disney unless Kimmel is reinstated, and Matt Belloni says other Hollywood talent will likely soon do the same.

This is what I said to my wife and three kids who use Hulu and Disney+

Release the Epstein files!!!

Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.

Hiding the truth.

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

Tragic and alarming: From the states collecting data, 68% of U.S. counties and jurisdictions have immunization rates below 95% for the MMR vaccine — the level of herd immunity that is required to stop the spread of measles.

Things have gotten out of hand and it’s now going both ways. People are being doxxed and fired from their jobs, and in response, some are retaliating by taking screenshots of those who doxxed them to return the favor.

Hi! Today @quantamagazine.bsky.social published a special issue on climate science, featuring stories about how Earth's climate fundamentally works that I needed to read after covering climate impacts for so many years. I hope you'll check it out! <3 www.quantamagazine.org/how-we-came-...

BREAKING: Justice Gregory Carro has dismissed the first degree murder charge against Luigi Mangione in his state case, finding the DA put legally insufficient evidence before the grand jury. More TK.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I have been doing experiments on global media. By filtering out all US and everything but international journalists and governments - every third article is about the rest of the world making serious preparations for war. In defence context. Other 2 are economy and national politics. Pay attention

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Free speech censorship Political hit lists Detentions w/o due process Internment camps Military in our streets Corrupted law enforcement Demonization of vulnerable communities Coercion of private institutions MSM amplifying state propaganda We are not barreling towards fascism. We are in it.

One of the greats has passed. Robert Redford was a celebrated actor, director, and someone who held a mirror up to America. His work will live on, but we Ordinary People will feel The Sting of his loss for years. Rest among the stars now, and when you see heaven, may a River Run Through It.

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

The broader witch hunt going on right now is the habituation process to condition the population to understand that there are two sets of rules. Conservative white men who can say and do whatever they want and everyone else who must live in fear for any actual or perceived slight.

We are witnessing the reification of the dual state in the US that never really went away. A normative state for the predominant socioeconomic class in power, white men, and a prerogative state for minorities and women. It will be a dual legal system imposing two totally different systems.

“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” which CBS canceled over the summer, won the Emmy for best talk show for the first time. It was the second of two standing ovations that Colbert received at the ceremony. nyti.ms/4n7hh8W
