This week, more than 40 organisations working on health justice around the globe put out an urgent call to the global health and human rights community. In an open letter, we issued a call to global health bodies, health institutions, professional associations and the World Medical Association (WMA) to take immediate action on the Israeli government’s continuing onslaught on Gaza – because the war on Palestine is an issue of health justice, too. Israel’s onslaught – which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled “plausibly” meets the conditions of genocide – has claimed the lives of more than 30,000…

Opinion U.S. State Department/Public Domain In America, people choose their leaders by voting. It’s called “democracy.” Also in America, some people want to stop others from voting for certain candidates by simply prohibiting a vote for those candidates by keeping them off the ballot. In other words, the exact opposite of democracy. Illinois has now become the latest state to threaten democracy.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has declared for the WNBA draft today, forgoing her final year of eligibility, she confirmed in a post on her social media account. Who will take down #1 South Carolina in the NCAA tournament? “While this season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa,” Clark wrote in her post. “It is impossible to fully express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me during my time Iowa– my teammates, who made the last four years the best; my coaches, trainers and staff…
The way the UK government has been tagging migrants with GPS trackers is illegal, the country’s privacy regulator ruled on Friday, in a rebuke to officials who have been experimenting with migrant-surveillance tech in both the UK and the US. As part of an 18-month pilot that concluded in December, the UK interior ministry, known as the Home Office, forced up to 600 people who arrived in the country without permission to wear ankle tags that continuously tracked their locations. However, that pilot broke UK data protection law because it did not properly assess the privacy intrusion of GPS tracking…

Let’s hear it for the girls who run AMC Theatres’ world. Or at least account for “literally all” of the company’s revenue increase this quarter, according to CEO of AMC Theatres, Adam Aron. AMC attributed all of this quarter’s revenue increase to Taylor Swift and Beyonce, two powerful superstars who have taken their massive live concerts to the big screens–even as traditional cinema struggles. This quarter, the company beat Wall Street expectations with a fourth-quarter revenue of $1.10 billion, up from $990.9 million in 2022. Its saving grace, despite “a diminished box office overall” this quarter, Aron wrote in…
Uruçuca, Brazil – Mukunã Pataxó remembers his aunt began to sing moments before the gunfire rang out. Maria de Fátima Muniz, 52, was a spiritual leader among the Pataxó Hã-Hã-Hãe, an Indigenous group in northeastern Brazil. A short, serious woman with dark, shoulder-length hair, she was known to lead her people in prayer and song, her voice deep and steady. But on January 21, that voice could not quell the violence about to erupt in the rolling green hills outside Potiraguá, a town in the state of Bahia. About 50 members of Maria’s village had gathered there to set…
Opinion Source YouTube: The View, Real Time With Bill Maher Things got weird on the ABC talk show “The View” once again on Tuesday morning, when the radically liberal co-host Joy Behar bizarrely called on Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter), to get a C-section. Behar Tells Musk To ‘Try A Cesarean’ While interviewing the journalist Kara Swisher about her new book “Burn Book: A Tech Love Story,” Behar asked about the difference in personalities between the “good” guys in the tech world and the bad ones. “Simply put, they’re not adult toddlers. Right? Essentially,” Swisher…
Reporting on Mattress Mack McIngvale’s gambling addiction is akin to covering those competitive vaping contests featuring Gen Zers trying to see who can blow the biggest cloud/contract lymphoma the quickest. I guess there’s a human-interest angle, but it also glorifies sports betting to a disgusting degree. Sure, people would click on a story about a cocaine user’s quest to snort the biggest gator tail ever recorded, yet it hardly seems responsible, and it’s definitely unethical. Should the NFL relax its gambling policy? | Agree to Disagree The Houston-based furniture entrepreneur (monopolist?) placed a $1 million wager on, you…
