@nzgeo.bsky.social Why you should care about an orange fish at the bottom of the ocean that you will never see. New Zealand is trawling fish that can live for centuries, destroying corals that can live for millennia, on Pacific seamounts. @deepseaconserve.bsky.social www.nzgeo.com/stories/why-...

71 years ago today, on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, a nuclear bomb with the codename “Castle Bravo”, was exploded by the USA with an energy of 15 megatons. Life was never the same again and the fight for justice continues.

Neste exato momento a Fernanda Montenegro já se encontra na 5 latinha.

🌍 O Brasil faz história no Oscar! "Ainda Estou Aqui", de Walter Salles, acaba de vercer a categoria Melhor Filme Internacional, levando ao mundo uma obra poderosa baseada no livro de Marcelo Rubens Paiva. +

I'm Still Here tells the story of how love can face dictatorships. The 1964 April Fools Day that ravished Brazil, did not brake this woman's family despite torture, murder and injustice. The Oscar, an unlikely ally in times of fear, goes to Fernanda Torres and Walter Sales.

If you want to know what's going on in the Energy Transfer SLAPP suit against Greenpeace and Indigenous activists, make sure you're following Alleen -- she'll be there every day posting updates!

Eu amo que a Fernanda Torres esteja se divertindo tanto (a foto é de Dana Scruggs, no Instagram da Academia)

@greatdismal.bsky.social kleptocracy dystopia seems to be the playbook uniting Russian oligarchs to their Silicon Valley counterparts. Unusual challenges call for unlikely alliances, we need to come together and create the institutions that will provide for our needs.

What can we learn from history for the change we need to bring about today? This fantastic new TED talk by @romankrznaric.bsky.social is packed full of inspiration - from ancient Japan to medieval Spain - including on the powerful role of disruptive social movements. www.ted.com/talks/roman_...

AI governance is failing. We must act now to ensure that its development creates public value, rather than perpetuates a model of digital feudalism. Read more on my recent piece for Project Syndicate ➡️ (1/2)

Trump's victory reflects deep disenchantment with an economic model that has failed working people. But his protectionist agenda won't fix it. We need to fundamentally reshape markets—not just tinker at the margins. Read the new @ForeignAffairs piece ➡️

Welcome to The Republic of Gilead!

This week's column asks a question that should be in everyone's minds, as Trump reshapes the world's alliances: How, given that our defence and security capacities are completely infiltrated by the US state, do we defend ourselves if the US becomes our opponent? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

FUNNY how only the '4y term' from the election review being introduced! - 3.5% vote threshold - No ‘coat-tail’ rule - voting age 16 - capped political donations - 4y term referendum #nzpol #democracy #waste newsroom.co.nz/2023/06/05/e...

Charles Chaplin sempre foi um visionário, mas jamais poderia prever o quão simbólico seria, nos dias de hoje, trocar a suástica por um X.

As someone who has been threatened by cookers with being detained by whatever means necessary and tried for crimes against humanity for doing and explaining the validity of hundred year old maths, I am not looking forward to what this (which the retail association doesn't want either) will embolden

Ironically, Trump's victory is doing more to expose & discredit America's belief in mythical white leaders than any DEI program ever could. These all-white spaces can't solve big problems (like MSNBC's ratings or US inflation). They treat racism & cruelty as their inexhaustible sources of innovation

Proposed bill in Sweden would require Signal/WhatsApp to store messages users send through the apps and provide a backdoor to gov/law enforcement to read the encrypted comms. Signal head @meredithmeredith.bsky.social says Signal will halt service for users in Sweden if this becomes a requirement

Just catching up on this: "After a judge blocked a Trump exec order, Elon Musk shared a post with his more than 200 million followers on X that included the judge’s daughter’s name, photo & job, allegedly at the Dept of Education." Now he's also backing calls to impeach judges that rule against him.

O Carnaval é na ordem subjetiva e afetiva o maior dispositivo antifascista criado na história da humanidade. No nível micro, o fascismo precisa produzir corpos tristes através do cansaço e da desesperança. O Carnaval é uma janela para lembrar o tanto de potência que corpos alegres são capazes.

Friendly reminder that they sell these cool semi-related stickers which might be fun to leave out in public so people can pick them up and do something with them swasticarstickers.shop

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Does the United States have any international allies left (that aren’t dictators) who haven’t been possibly permanently alienated by Trump in just 4 weeks?

"If we stay on this path, within the next 20 years, we will hit 2 degrees of global warming. The consequences will be devastating," says PIK scientist Barbora Šedová at #MSC2025. Full recording of the conversation on "Armed forces in times of climate change": securityconference.org/en/msc-2025/...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

This is the Great Deconstruction. They want to dismantle everything they think enabled the Obama coalition and America's impending multiracial majority. They're preparing for white minority rule. They even hired a white South African expert consultant...

I’m on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme (c1hr18:30) talking about @joemenn.bsky.social’s scoop that 🇬🇧 gov’t has apparently ordered Apple to unlock encrypted cloud services I try to explain why, as well as provoking a needless 🇺🇸backlash, it probably can’t even work 1/4 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
