The Disappearing Act of Exceptional Women On one of patriarchy’s most successful tricks

The Disappearing Act of Exceptional Women

Quand la planète bascule, l’écologie nous protège ✊

À quelques jours des élections municipales, et après un mois de pluies et d’inondations record, nous lançons un appel à soutenir massivement toutes les candidatures écologistes partout en France 🌻

Pour que ces mesures soient mises à l'ordre du jour par le Gouvernement et discutées un jour au Sénat, votre soutien est indispensable.

✒️ Signez la pétition pour lutter contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles à l'étranger ! ✒️

🟣 En France, une femme sur deux déclare avoir déjà subi des violences sexuelles. Du fait de facteurs de risque spécifiques, les Françaises de l'étranger sont plus vulnérables encore.
C'est pourquoi je propose aujourd'hui 8 mesures pour lutter contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles à l'étranger.

Alors qu’en 2025, 20 millions d’européennes n’accèdent toujours pas librement à l’IVG, François-Xavier Bellamy essaie de torpiller l’initiative citoyenne européenne visant à rendre l’avortement accessible à toutes les femmes en Europe.

Accueil | Marée Citoyenne Le 12 juin prochain, nous porterons au Sénat une loi pour protéger l'océan. En cette année de l'océan, l'occasion est historique ! Rejoignez la Marée citoyenne

🌊 L’océan est en danger. La France doit passer des mots aux actes !

Soutenez la loi portée par @mathildeollivier.bsky.social pour une vraie protection des aires marines.

📅 Vote le 12 juin, pendant #UNOC2025.

The view from the right Conservative condemnation of the Trump regime is almost as vehement as is progressive condemnation. Will they give cover to business leaders who have so far remained silent?

In case you're unaware, the American Medical Association has a youtube page; they are doing daily updates on bird flu and other outbreaks since the CDC cannot.

I got used to Threads! But ads are coming and META went MAGA.

We all need to focus on such moments to keep our mental sanity. I am not a US citizen and I live in Japan but I have never seen such destructive power at work in the US in my lifetime. It is and will affect all other countries in the world. I am particularly worried about public health.

In asking Trump to show mercy, Bishop Budde continues a long tradition of Christian leaders ‘speaking truth to power’ A scholar of medieval Christianity explores the history of Christians who spoke out, unafraid to risk official censure or even death.

The history of Christianity is not very exemplary in terms of humanism. but there are also brave souls who embraced the New Testament message. Chivalry, for example, was an attempt to rein in the violence of the powerful. This woman is one of them 👏🏻

We Don't Need More Cynics. We Need More Builders. Cynicism is the cheap seats. It’s the fast food of intellectual positions. Anyone can point at something and say it’s broken, corrupt, or destined to fail. The real challenge? Building something…

Felt compelled to write this now. It's important.

In a world drunk on cynicism, the radical act is believing we can build something better.

Fuck the patriarchy

You did it again, said Elmo! Get well soon! We say in French “jamais 2 sans 3” (never 2 without 3) but you are safe. You can count the Orange Man’s coming investiture as the 3rd injury.

How the EPA administrator protects public health, air, water and the environment Enforcing environmental laws isn’t a job that makes people popular. But polls show that Americans generally want more environmental protection, not less.

The air you breathe, the water you drink, the chemicals under your sink, the car you drive, food you eat and a host of daily routines depend on actions of the EPA and the EPA administrator – the equivalent of a Cabinet secretary. https://buff.ly/3C6YyrS (Stan Meiburg @wakeforest.bsky.social) 🌎

My message to Zuck

We already have the answer looking at how any post critical of Elon Musk on his “free speech” platform ends up, with an instant block for the poster.

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.

Jimmy Carter was a Scout leader and Silver Buffalo recipient known for telling great stories around the campfire Before serving as the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter served in a smaller but just as vital role: his children’s Scout leader.
