Quem diria,

Que da agonia,

Um dia,

– A Esperança nasceria!

Eu sei que muitos diriam que a palavra correta é resiliência.

Resiliente eu soube ser,

Cada vez que uma parte da minha vida se fragmentava em meio ao nada,

Eu me mantinha de pé.

E para onde quer que eu lançasse o meu olhar,

tudo era cinza,

Desértico,

Solitário.

Eu chorei cada vão da vida,

como numa despedida fúnebre se chora,

Se lamenta a partida…

Eu fui,

Eu sou,

Eu serei

Resiliente como um arbusto selvagem,

Alguém, que se nega a desistir da vida

Mesmo quando a vida,

Não tem nada,

Nada.

E mesmo hoje, depois de tantos lamentos,

Convivendo com tudo que  me asfixiava por dentro,

Sigo, reconstruindo parte de mim, parte dos sonhos,

…alimentados por ela: pela ESPERANÇA!🌱

Mosquito-borne diseases are spreading across the globe, and particularly in Europe, due to climate breakdown, an expert has said.

The insects spread illnesses such as malaria and dengue fever, the prevalences of which have hugely increased over the past 80 years as global heating has given them the warmer, more humid conditions they thrive in.

Prof Rachel Lowe who leads the global health resilience group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain, has warned that mosquito-borne disease outbreaks are set to spread across currently unaffected parts of northern Europe, Asia, North America and Australia over the next few decades.

In practice, this has wound up being a ban on abortions needed to save women’s lives: according to Idaho hospitals, six pregnant women experiencing medical emergencies have had to be airlifted across state lines to hospitals in states with life and health exemptions in the months since Idaho began enforcing its abortion ban. One way to describe this state of affairs is to say that Idaho’s abortion law has come into conflict with medical best practice. Another way to describe it is to say that the law has forced pregnant women to flee the state for their lives.

Emmanuel Macron has criticised migration policies that involve sending people to African countries as “a betrayal of our [European] values”, just days after the UK government passed its Rwanda deportation bill.

The French president made the remarks in a wide-ranging speech on Thursday aimed at warning Europe against overdependence on other countries for security and trade.

Turning to migration, he said he did not believe in “this model that some people want to put in place, which means that you go and look for a third country, for example in Africa, and send our immigrants there”.

He added: “This is a betrayal of our values and will lead us down the path of new dependencies on third countries.”

“The fate of the hostages and the civilian population in Gaza, who are protected under international law, is of international concern,” they said. “We strongly support the ongoing mediation efforts in order to bring our people home.”

The attorney running the Republican National Committee’s “election integrity” effort has been criminally charged by the state of Arizona for her efforts to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 election. This turn of events highlights the Orwellian meaning of the phrase “election integrity,” as used by Trump and the Republican Party: An effort to win at all costs.
