Eu reconheço alguns destes comportamentos dos meus anos do Liceu Maria Amália. Não era bonito e eu fui complacente de muita coisa e participante até em alguma. Isso foi há quarenta anos quase. Como é possível que depois de tudo o que se passou este machismo continue e prolifere?

machismo tóxico: A violência sexual perpetrada sobre raparigas menores por rapazes menores tem sido 1 absoluto tabu. E a escola, como diz ao DN 1 adolescente d 16 anos, continua a ignorar o assunto - mais ainda agora,devido à guerra aberta contra a educação p a igualdade. www.dn.pt/sociedade/ma...

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

ICYMI, California last year voted down a bill that would have banned "slavery exception".

I think we all need this thread for the coming year.

I like to say I respect despair as an emotion but not an analysis. As an analysis it assumes we know what can and can't happen, and the future is both uncertain and at least to some extent what we make of it. Plus why would I give them what they want, as premature surrender? Thanks Senator Schatz.

High forest, low deforestation regions are losing ground fast—over the past decade forest loss is up 28% and six #HFLD areas lost their status. Climate finance is urgently needed to prevent deforestation, and carbon markets can help us meet the moment. 🌳🌍https://bit.ly/4fiMZf6

This moved me almost to tears: while not a climate scientist, I've been a climate policy geek for nearly thirty years now, and this reflects my current mood: mild optimism. And as @ketanjoshi.co emphasized, there are many throughout these years that were right and will need to be acknowledged.
