“Sometimes, we each only drink one #glass of #water [a day]. There is no #more water than that,”
Poor water management combined with Guatemala’s persistent #poverty and #inequality have made it hard to #manage water properly and made it difficult to hold people to #account when the human #right to water is not #respected.

Das Bild zeigt eine abstrakte Kunstwerke mit einer vielfältigen Farbpalette, die von warmen Orangetönen über leuchtendes Gelb bis hin zu kühlen Blautönen reicht. Im Zentrum des Bildes befindet sich ein komplexes, mandala-artiges Muster, das mit feinen Linien und geometrischen Formen verziert ist. Die Muster sind in einem tiefen Lila gehalten und umgeben von einem leuchtenden, flammenartigen Hintergrund, der die Farben des Mandala hervorhebt. Im Hintergrund sind weitere, weniger ausgeprägte Muster und Formen zu sehen, die sich in einem verschwommenen, farbenfrohen Muster überlagern. Die gesamte Komposition vermittelt ein Gefühl von Bewegung und Energie, mit einer Mischung aus organischen und geometrischen Elementen, die ein harmonisches Gleichgewicht schaffen.

Kilmar Ábrego's lawyers have published descriptions of how he was tortured in El Salvador's prison for alleged "terrorists". It is horrible. The guards recognized that he was not a gang member, that his tattoos had nothing to do with gangs. So why did they subsequently start to torture him? I think they must have got orders from higher up - perhaps from the

The City of Moreton Bay claims homeless people “consented” to having their tents and belongings – including a woman’s daughter’s ashes – thrown in the bin. This is what passes for policy now?
We’re criminalising poverty, bulldozing dignity, and calling it governance. Fines over $8,000 for sleeping rough, yet zero accountability for systemic failure.
If this is the norm, we’re in deep moral decline.

The image depicts a character standing in a cave-like environment. The character has a muscular build and is wearing a mask with a lion-like face, featuring prominent horns and a mane. The mask is yellow with a detailed design. The character's body is mostly bare, with a red sash around the waist and red wristbands. The legs are covered with red and black striped leggings, and the feet are bare. The character's hands are positioned on the hips, and the fingers are elongated with sharp claws. The background shows rocky walls and a small fire in a bowl, suggesting a primitive or ancient setting. The ground is uneven and covered with dirt and rocks, enhancing the cave atmosphere.

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI tool, spreads antisemitic conspiracies: The posts come after changes by Musk, who has previously made similar claims that Jews promote hatred toward white people
Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot owned by Elon Musk, responded to multiple users on X Tuesday with antisemitic claims, apparently as part of an update intended to make the tool “less politically correct.”In one instance, Grok’s account on X, formerly Twitter, claimed that a photograph of a woman was “Cindy Steinberg” and stated that she was “gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.”
