"Gender-based violence in Brazil is not only rife, it’s growing. In a 2025 survey, 37.5% of women said they had experienced some kind of violence in the last year – including verbal and physical abuse, sexual violence and stalking – compared with 28.6% in the same survey eight years earlier."

A ‘Barbaric’ Problem in American Hospitals Is Only Getting Bigger Patients are getting stuck in the emergency department for days while waiting for a spot in an inpatient ward.

Du caractère éphémère du populisme appliqué

Is whistleblowing a thing of the past? As investigative media is under attack, and the protection of sources vulnerable, as local media is disappearing, how can we hold compagnies and politicians accountable? Is corporate loyalty>human and constitutional rights? Where do we draw the line?

"We are troubled by the possibility that Thomson Reuters products may enable activities that violate constitutional protections —including Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure, Fifth Amendment due process rights, and Fourteenth Amendment equal protection guarantees"

She raised concerns about her company's contracts with ICE. Then she lost her job Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

"C'est assez grave", "Quelque chose de sinistre se trame": une enquête ouverte après la disparition et la mort de scientifiques américains Une enquête vient d'être ouverte par le FBI sur la disparition de scientifiques américains.

Show de boucane (il est là le bug) liant des scientifiques (ou simplement des personnes travaillant dans le même bâtiment), sans grand lien entre leurs domaines de spécialités (imaginez un complot impliquant un menuisier et un boucher), et une enquête déclenchée par Patel #jeudessepterreurs

Sur Deezer, près de la moitié des titres sont désormais créés par l’intelligence artificielle Il y a un an, l’IA représentait moins de 20 % des titres mis en ligne chaque jour par la plateforme de streaming.

En ce #JourdelaTerre, rappel que le AI slop c'est de la pollution atmosphérique, du gaspillage énergétique, de l'extractivisme matériel, du vol de la propriété intellectuelle ainsi que de la pollution mentale et culturelle. Quand même particulier qu'on n'ait même pas pensé à créer une IA sans slop.

« Un pied dedans, un pied dehors » : les intercommunalités, nouveau défi pour La France insoumise Le maire de Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, a été élu mardi 21 avril président de Plaine Commune, une des plus grandes intercommunalités de la région parisienne. Pour LFI, cette bataille n’est pas secondaire : c’est à cet échelon que se jaugera la capacité du mouvement à embarquer ses partenaires de gauche dans sa bifurcation politique et sociale.

A cartogram showing the partisan intent behind congressional redistricting in every state for the 2026 elections, with each state’s size corresponding to how many districts it has. States retain their general shapes and locations relative to each other, but they are spaced out to accommodate the change in sizes. The graphic illustrates how Republicans gerrymandered states with 32% of districts in red and Democrats gerrymandered states with 27% of districts in blue. A court, commission, or divided legislature drew a relatively neutral map in yellow states with 29% of districts, and gray states with 1% of districts only have one district each.

The GOP drew 3 times more congressional seats than Dems did for 2024—but that disparity would be far smaller for 2026 with new Dem maps in CA & VA.

This cartogram shows the partisan intent behind each state’s map, though it doesn't measure the effect of more extreme new GOP maps in MO, NC, OH, & TX
