The impact of the Trump Presidency and #CapitolRiot on digital and #socialmedia law is going to be globally significant. We are watching a new regulatory framework for accountability and responsibility for social media companies unfold before us right now.

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.

UK ‘in violation of international law’ over poverty levels, says UN envoy https://t.co/qzgj737h6G

Under #Israel #Gaza shadow, dying continues elsewhere eg #Sudan :more than tenth of people displaced & fresh bouts of vicious fighting in #Darfur. Only 1/3 of humanitarian appeal funded, even less of needs on ground meet. Good stocktake @UNOCHA_Sudan

Occupying #Palestine land, creating world's largest #OpenAirPrison; denying basic necessities like food, water, gas is a #HumanitarianCrisis. Thousands of #children have lost their lives, and #healthcare workers are targeted by #HOSPITALBOMBING. #CeasefireNOW #StopGazaGenocide

[Mary Lawlor @MaryLawlorhrds]

I said it to the Israeli representative to the UN at #UNGA78 & I will say it again: what is happening in #Gaza is a violation of international law & amounts to war crimes. Immediate international action is needed to stop these atrocities, & both sides must be held accountable.

Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”

Another journalist, #NazilaMaroofian has been kidnapped by the Islamic Republic. She recently interviewed #MahsaAmini 's father, uncovering the lies, and the threats of the regime, in order to cover up Mahsa's murder.

These courageous individuals are in danger.

The squeeze to get rid of ‘forever chemicals’

"PFAS substances, which don't break down naturally, have been shown to accumulate in the environment and cause a host of health conditions, including cancer, liver damage and decreased fertility."

Someone backstage just asked Yuh-Jung Youn what Brad Pitt smelled like.

More evidence for why we need to look at both climate change and healthcare through the lens of intersectionality: https://t.co/ALTKjpPzvm #ClimateChange #Racism #Equality

Here's an idea. We dont #SackChrisWhitty. We sack the politicians who disregarded the need for a national pandemic disaster plan, slashed investment in the NHS for a decade, left our medics with inadequate PPE & made their friends rich on the back of the deaths of 130,000 Britons

For every symptom of resilience to the pandemic—including food supply-chains, the financial system and, most of all, science—there have been symptoms of frailty https://t.co/hAeoftAeGd

This one was a tough read, but pockets of hope peek out from among the dire warnings and ample scientific research studies.

This is a tragic, unnecessary loss, and anyone who's had dealings with NHS hospital care in the last year has seen how even urgent care is a shadow of what it was, and what it should be. #AusterityKills #SavetheNHS https://t.co/4KLQFYJEIF
