The rally on Sunday evening was the culmination of a day of nationwide protests and a general strike to pressure the government to halt the military campaign. “Bring them all home! Stop the war!” shouted the vast crowd, which had converged on the so-called Hostage Square in Tel Aviv plaza – a focal point for protesters throughout the war. The Hostage and Missing Families Forum, the initiator of the day of protest, estimated that about 500,000 people joined the demonstration in Tel Aviv – a figure not confirmed by the police.

Anais do capitalismo mais-que-tardio

O que mais impressiona é a fragorosa derrocada, em questão de meses, das instituições da American democracy, Legislativo e Judiciário incluídos, alardeadas durante décadas como os pilares inexpugnáveis do excepcionalismo estadunidense e exemplo para o mundo inteiro. Quem não se lembra do uso reiterado, pelo governo e grande imprensa dos EUA, da expressão failed states para qualificar Estados que, dentre outras coisas, não reconhecem os direitos democráticos? A questão de um trilhão de dólares é: terminado o pesadelo - supondo-se que termine - tudo voltará a ser como era antes?

Avebarna Fridays for Future

The Trump administration’s decision to abruptly terminate a $3bn program helping hundreds of communities prepare for climate disasters and environmental hazards is unconstitutional and should be overturned, a court will hear on Tuesday.



A coalition of non-profits, tribes and local governments is suing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the agency’s administrator, Lee Zeldin, for terminating the entire Environmental and Climate Justice (ECJ) block grant program – despite a legally binding mandate from Congress to fund the Biden-era initiative. It’s a first-of-a-kind proposed class-action lawsuit that would force the EPA and Zeldin to reinstate the program and each individual grant, rather than forcing the recipients to sue individually.

A state department spokesperson confirmed that the decision had been made – a move that will cost US taxpayers $167,000. The contraceptives are primarily long-acting, such as IUDs and birth control implants, and were almost certainly intended for women in Africa, according to two senior congressional aides, one of whom visited a warehouse in Belgium that housed the contraceptives. It is not clear to the aides whether the destruction has already been carried out, but said they had been told that it was set to occur by the end of July. (..)
