@wdlindsy I hope your country will succeed in holding Trump #accountable - and also in removing him from his office, by whatever suitable and ethically adequate means, before he might reconsider his decision not to wipe out any civilisation (yet). It would be a GREAT relief to everyone opposing fascism, all over the globe.

“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.

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.

Why we should 'fight like hell' against Big AI
Tech journalist Karen Hao, who once worked in Silicon Valley as an engineer, is sounding the alarm on holding AI giants accountable. She argues people need to push back against massive companies that are 'consolidating a historic amount of economic and political power, terraforming our earth, reshaping our geopolitics' as well as our lives and work.

The #paradox of #trust in #health care in the age of #SocialMedia

@thelancet

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.

I'm making another one. I just turned 65 a couple of days ago. I got a huge motor. #God says until the last breath you give it all. And I don't know why it would be otherwise now. I've left the #consciousness that I only have this human existence. But I'm still #accountable to it.
