Hoje – O Outro Lado

[Os gritos vem de janelas fechadas]
Há alguns pássaros que não voam…
um, se isola na diferença da cor. Então, o pai fala do respeito ao que é diferente – como se eu fosse criança – fala da história da menina muda que nunca canta mas que tem a música nos olhos.
Por enquanto, para mim ela é só silêncio.

White House says Lloyd Austin will stay in job despite ‘lack of transparency’ | Lloyd Austin | The Guardian

The White House spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre, also said that Austin retained Biden’s confidence, and John Kirby, the national security council (NSC) spokesperson, told reporters on Air Force One: “There is no plan for anything other than for Secretary Austin to stay in the job.”

Kirby said Joe Biden “respects the fact that Secretary Austin took ownership for the lack of transparency” but added there would be a review of procedures in the wake of the incident, “to try to learn from this experience”. He added there was an “expectation” that if a cabinet member was hospitalized, “that will be notified up the chain of command”.

Outrage in Iran after woman whipped for refusing to wear hijab | Euronews

The 23-year-old said that she removed her headscarf upon arriving at court to receive her sentence, throwing aside another that a group of female officers forcibly placed on her head.

In a harrowing story, she said she was eventually handcuffed and forced to wear a headscarf, shackled to a bed in a room that resembled a “gruesome” medieval torture chamber, and whipped on her shoulders, back, waist, thighs, calves and buttocks.

Heshmati said she tried not to show pain during the ordeal, whispering the words “In the name of women, in the name of life, the clothes of slavery are torn, our black night will dawn, and all the whips will be axed…”, while lashes rained down upon her and the shackles bruised her wrists.

She was subsequently taken before the judge while a female officer ensured her headscarf remained in place. She described her conversation with the judge on Instagram, claiming he told her she could leave the country if she wanted to live differently.

Thousands of nanoplastics found in bottled drinking water – Los Angeles Times

Using sophisticated imaging technology, scientists at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty laboratory examined water samples from three popular brands (they won’t say which ones) and found hundreds of thousands of bits of plastic per liter of water.

Ninety percent of those plastics were small enough to qualify as nanoplastics: microscopic flecks so small that they can be absorbed into human cells and tissue, as well as cross the blood-brain barrier.

Buying An EV Just Got More Affordable | LAist

The clean vehicle tax credit, which offers up to $7,500 toward a new electric, hydrogen, or plug-in hybrid vehicle, and up to $4,000 for a used one, is now available as an instant rebate at approved dealers. Until now, buyers could not take advantage of the credit until they filed their taxes.

EV-equity advocates said the change will put buying an electric vehicle within reach of more buyers. “It’s a huge help,” Irvin Rivero, e-mobility associate at the Bay Area nonprofit Acterra, told Grist. Rivero consults prospective buyers on how to apply for financial incentives, and said some clients either can’t afford the upfront cost or do not earn enough to owe taxes.

Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Eu vejo mulheres brigando para estarem em relacionamentos doentios ( violência doméstica) Como Marii? Elas dizem: ” Ele só me bateu dessa vez”. Ontem ” bebeu, usou droga, e veio com desrespeito pra cima de mim, mas eu amo ele”. O que tem de errado nisso? Nada, porque o amor independe da forma de como o outro é tratado. A observação importante nesse caso, dar-se com base no tratamento. É o tratamento oferecido a vítima que foge a normalidade ou o que é aceito e ao mesmo tempo, questionável na sociedade.
