Chappell Roan using her Best New Artist #Grammys speech to implore record companies provide health care to up and coming artists is why she truly feels like the future of this industry

Good thread from @joaobrant on X/Twitter’s suspension in #Brazil.
X/Twitter is being suspended in Brazil by court order from the Supreme Federal Court, after repeated failures to comply with judicial decisions. The suspension affects 20 million users in Brazil, but it was the measure courts understood as necessary to enforce Brazilian law. 1/3

Thank you for the invitation, @FranciaMarquezM - and for convening all of us! @luminategroup #ArchewellFoundation @SussexEvent
Fue un honor compartir panel con la premio Nobel de Paz, @mariaressa y el príncipe Harry y Meghan, duque y duquesa de Sussex, en el Foro Futuro Digital Responsable, hoy en la @UniversidadEan. Avanzar hacia un futuro digital responsable implica trabajar con todas nuestras fuerzas para prevenir que nuestros jóvenes, niñas y niños decidan suicidarse por el ciberacoso, porque no encontraron caminos posibles para superarlo. Yo, siendo una mujer adulta al llegar aquí, no dimensioné a lo que me estaba exponiendo. La cantidad de agresiones y de violencias que durante estos dos años he tenido que soportar, mi familia, mis hijos y mi compañero, han sido desproporcionadas. Debemos esforzarnos por diseñar y usar la tecnología para dignificar la vida y resolver los problemas de nuestra sociedad.

It was wonderful to be @TEDxMidAtlantic to talk about the power of storytelling and how it can help us reimagine democracy. If we enrich and diversify the "story of us", we will able to build democracies where we are all seen and heard. Thank you @davetroy & @natemook.

Al aire/Los avances que peligran en la representación política LGBTIQ+ En este capítulo que A fondo hace de la mano de la Fundación Luminate, se analizaron los avances y los desafíos que, en materia de representación política, tiene la población LGBTIQ+ en América Latina. Por un lado, la región vive una primavera en virtud del aumento de miembros de esa comunidad en cargos políticos, pero por el otro se registran retrocesos con la llegada al poder de proyectos antidemocráticos que desconocen los derechos de las minorías. Participan: la ex precandidata presidencial de Venezuela, Tamara Adrián, Wilson Castañeda, director de Caribe Afirmativo y Felipe Estefan, vicepresidente de Luminate. @felipeestefan @wilson_castaneda76 @TamaraAdrian Oiga mi podcast en todas las plataformas de audio: pod.link/1714014267/episode/… Y en Youtube: youtu.be/FyCnwjAKuKw

According to Latinobarómetro, a pollster, 54% of Latin Americans would not mind if an undemocratic regime came to power, so long as it solved problems—up from 44% in 2002 economist.com/leaders/2024/0…

And that’s a wrap on NDWA at #sundancefilmfestival 🎥 🎬! If there’s one thing we took away from this weekend and Igualada’s premiere, it’s that domestic workers (like Sindy✨👇🏽) are our hope and our leaders for a more caring future.

An oversight board is calling Meta out for "failing" to protect LGBTQ people online. The group has told the social media giant for the first time that it needs to step up the way it protects the real-world safety of LGBTQ people. More: rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
