Com um governo de direita que tantas vezes se alia à extrema-direita, é ainda mais importante ter uma Presidente da República de esquerda de que saiba construir pontes, defenda a democracia e garanta que os problemas de quem constrói Portugal estejam no centro da política.

Foi em 2017 que alguém do Fumaça foi, pela primeira vez, à Palestina. E nem sequer era uma viagem de trabalho. A Maria Almeida e o Ricardo Esteves Ribeiro queriam apenas conhecer melhor aquele lugar.

O dinheiro da Europa tem de ser bem utilizado.

O Governo PSD/CDS decidiu tirar mais de 300 milhões de euros do PRR, dinheiro que estava destinado a coisas que fazem falta à vida das pessoas.

Pessoas ajudam a um lançamento de um livro desinteressante de um Liberal.  Algumas achavam que eram de esquerda.

Zohran Mamdani wins with >50% of the vote.

Clean sweeps in statewide races in New Jersey and Virginia.

Pennsylvania retains all democratic Supreme Court justices.

California passes prop 50.

This is the best possible outcome that could've happened tonight.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

"The ceasefire in #Gaza isn’t going well.

Israel’s military killed 105 Palestinians in airstrikes last night, including 46 children and 20 women, according to local health officials.

[...] 211 Palestinians have reportedly been killed since the deal was struck earlier this month." Via Crooked Media

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Tens of Thousands of White-Collar Jobs Are Disappearing as AI Starts to Bite Companies ranging from Amazon to Target are sending workers into an unwelcoming market.

We cannot allow AI and robotics to simply wipe out millions of decent-paying jobs.

This new technology must benefit workers — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and the other tech billionaires and CEOs of large corporations.

Four frames of cartoons by Sophie Labelle.

1) 'Anti-fascism isn't just about wearing cool scarves and ski goggles. When TERFs announced that they were organizing a protest at a library I was speaking at, they showed up and outnumbered the TERFs.'

A silhouette of people protesting with flags, placards and fists raised appears beneath the text.

2) 'It's antifa geeks monitoring alt-right groups who told me that they found my address, 8 years ago. I could get to safety and make sure nothing happened, thanks to them.'

Below this is a drawn silhouette of a person seated in front of a computer.

3) 'It's an undercover antifa who told me Proud Boys were planning to crash a library talk I was giving. They still did it, but we could prepare accordingly and the talk went as planned.'

Below the text is an Antifascist Action emblem.

4) 'It's a whole squad of anti-fascists who showed up to keep a neo-Nazi group at bay from a family event I was speaking at. They stayed until the end to accompany participants to their car or all the way to their home. The police was aware of the threat but didn't do shit.'

Beneath this text is an image of a group of people assembled behind a banner reading 'Good Night White Pride' and adorned with the Three Arrows symbol.

"A Contera vista do mar é uma experiência diferente. Conseguimos ter uma visão mais geral da ilha. É esta capacidade de mudar de perspectiva que faz com que os pássaros tenham uma sabedoria que nós humanos não temos."
