El último video de la campaña de Lula.

Convierte su biografía en la biografía de Brasil.
Habla de sus derrotas electorales, de las pérdidas de su vida, de la cárcel y de todo aquello que pudo hacerle desistir.

Pero la historia no termina ahí.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in the news, Arsenal is getting ready to compete in the Champions League Final, and a U.S. president calls on Iran to verifiably suspend uranium enrichment and accept Washington's offer of an agreement.

The year was 2006!

Twenty years later...

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

So, today @tedtalks announced that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was their most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying.

Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

[Haaretz.com @haaretzcom]

Helpless as we might feel, we can make clear there is another path. We Israelis and Iranians are not fated to be enemies. Before this war creates a bigger pile of dead bodies on both sides, we must demand its end | Opinion | @arash_tehran

What that Notre Dame invitation was all about

Paris, this evening

[Nada Maucourant Atallah @MaucourantNada]

This is Bilal Raad, the head of the Baalbek Regional Civil Defense Center. Israel killed him yesterday in an attack on their center.
The Lebanese Civil Defense is affiliated with the Ministry of Interior. They’re non-political.

“Everyone’s gone. The city’s soul has left.”

As Israel has intensified its attacks on the Baalbek district this week, killing more than 160 people, we spoke with officials, medical staff & victims. They told stories of displacement, destruction & loss.

Julia Ali shared these videos of her house in Al Khiam town in south Lebanon, one showing her playing the piano one year ago & another showing the Israeli soldiers messing with it after destroying her home.
I cannot imagine her pain & heartbreak. This is hard to watch.

[Kim Ghattas @KimGhattas]

Heartbreaking to see the damage from Israeli strikes on the beautiful seaside promenade in historical Tyre. A unique, diverse, vibrant, ancient city, home to Roman ruins, legendary birthplace of Europa and of Carthage's founder Dido/Elissa..

[Ali Hashem علي هاشم @Alihashem]

Mhaibib was once one of the smallest and most ancient villages in south Lebanon. One of the monuments that Israeli occupation forces detonated as it dynamited the village is the shrine of Prophet Benjamin, son of Jacob, a site that is more than 2,100 years old.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I express my solidarity to the UN Secretary General @antonioguterres, from the heart of his own country, Portugal - which I am visiting.
We would not be here today, with unrestrained hubris is in full display, had Israel, in 76years of history, been held accountable at least once. Not once has Israel faced consequences of its intl wrongdoings.
Time to act to restore the primacy of intl law is now. A distant tomorrow may be too late.

[Michael Young @BeirutCalling]

Recall that Israel’s incursion in 1982 was also billed as a limited incursion. But as Sharon understood, there will always be someone shooting at you from the next hill, so self-defense mandates taking that hill…until they reached Beirut.

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]

492 killed and 1645 wounded in one day in Lebanon. Killed by Israel

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]

The burden of care on the Lebanese health system of yesturday's bombings will be similar to that of the Marches of Return in Gaza. There is a dire need for a Complex Trauma Reconstruction and Rehabilition Unit to provide the medium to long term needs of the thousands of wounded.

[Etan Nechin @Etanetan23]

It's telling Israel (allegedly) can conduct pinpoint operations thousands of kilometers away to a capture target with precision, yet just two kilometers from home, they use 5-ton bombs on families to eliminate minor threats.

PS the hostages are still in Gaza.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

With the massacres of Oct 7 and the intensive Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza, many are using terms like war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. These are very specific terms, so I asked Israeli historian and expert @bartov_omer to explain them. Worth watching in full
