Sometimes, food can look good and still make you sick.

Harmful germs and chemicals can hide in everyday foods such as:
🍗 Meat, seafood, milk and cheese
🥬 Unwashed fruit and vegetables
🐟 Fish and seafood
🌾 Rice and grains
🚰 Drinking water

You can reduce your risk of illness by:
✅ Cooking meat all the way through
✅ Washing fruit and vegetable with safe water
✅ Keeping food at safe temperatures
✅ Eating a varied diet
✅ Choosing smaller fish over large ones

Congress approved the 19th Amendment and sent it to the states to ratify on this day in 1919. Whenever a new state voted in favor, the National Woman’s Party (NWP) sewed a star on this giant flag. 🧵

Bom dia! Em 4/6/1994, o Brasil perdia Roberto Burle Marx, um dos maiores paisagistas do século XX. Sua obra revolucionou a forma de integrar natureza, arte e espaço urbano, transformando jardins em verdadeiras expressões da identidade brasileira.

Criador de projetos icônicos, como o calçadão de Praia de Copacabana, Burle Marx valorizou a flora nativa muito antes de a conservação ambiental ganhar destaque mundial. Seu legado permanece vivo em parques, praças e jardins que unem beleza, biodiversidade e qualidade de vida.

32 anos após sua partida, sua visão continua inspirando urbanistas, arquitetos e defensores do meio ambiente no Brasil e no mundo.

In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure.

Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.

El Niño has officially returned and could be severe. The UN is warning the world to prepare.

The Pacific Ocean-warming phenomenon will bring above-average temperatures “nearly everywhere” and fuel more extreme weather, according to @WMO.

When we talk about women who have gone far up in their careers, our focus is on their achievements rather than on the barriers that made the climb so steep.
We need to change how we measure commitment and how we share opportunity.

On this day in 2017, Bob Dylan recorded his Nobel Prize lecture reflecting on the literary influences that shaped his songwriting. He discusses how classic works like 'Moby-Dick', 'All Quiet on the Western Front', and 'The Odyssey' informed his understanding of storytelling and human nature.

Dylan emphasises that songs, while distinct from traditional literature, share its expressive power and are meant to be heard rather than read. His introspective speech offers insight into the interplay between music and literature.

Bob Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."

AI could take on more than half of US working hours today, according to MGI research. But as MGI Partner Anu Madgavkar notes, a great deal of work still relies on uniquely human capabilities that today's technology cannot replicate. https://t.co/Zyf4JFmT9k

Artificial Intelligence is built on the creative work of millions of writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary people. That work has been stolen by Big Tech oligarchs.

Now's the time to reclaim it and ensure AI works for ALL, not just the few.

[The Obama Foundation @ObamaFoundation]

Michelle Obama's style was an expression of intention—lifting up new designers, and shopping where everyone shops. Joy. Color. Confidence. A reminder that no one gets to define beauty for you.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
