“Economic #CivilWar ”: States Push Laws to Shield #Oil & #Gas Companies From #Accountability
GOP-led state legislatures are passing a slate of laws that effectively shield oil & gas companies from legal claims that they are responsible for the destruction & mounting toll caused by #climateChange. 15 laws have either been passed or are currently being debated in 11 states. Together, they threaten to remove long-standing tools for the public to hold corps #accountable.
Les plage brésiliennes ne sont pas sûre pour les complices et acteurs du génocide
Israeli soldiers think they can commit genocide in Gaza and then go relax on Brazilian beaches. Now some of them even believe they can silence Brazilians showing solidarity with the victims of their crimes. In this video, one of them is arrested after attacking a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Brazil. A week ago a Brazilian prosecutor issued 3 probe orders after complaints that the Hind Rajab Foundation filed in Brazil against three suspeced war criminals. After our complaints, Israel smuggled one of them out and two are on the run. The time of their impunity is running out.
The #paradox of #trust in #health care in the age of #SocialMedia
Health systems worldwide face two fundamental and connected challenges: pervasive #misinformation and #disinformation and eroding public trust. This erosion reveals a paradox at the heart of contemporary science–society relations: the more science succeeds in solving complex problems through rigour and institutional coordination, the more it alienates a public that values immediacy, authenticity, emotional resonance, and personal connection. Consequently, those most committed to scientific #rigour—scientists, health-care institutions, professional societies, and public health agencies—are increasingly distrusted, whereas those least #accountable—untrained influencers, unqualified individuals with financial motives or political agendas, and artificial intelligence bots—are deemed credible. This so-called trust paradox is amplified by #engagement-driven social media environments that reward disinformation, immediacy, group identity, and authenticity over factual truth. The consequences are harmful health outcomes and misguided policy decisions. Addressing this paradox requires not only technical accuracy but also co-production from the outset, overarching horizontal communication, infrastructures for transparency and emotional resonance, and regulatory reforms for algorithms and digital environments.
