(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Public health measures, such as masking and physical distancing, that have been a high-profile part of the COVID-19 response for the past two years are now beginning to lift. However, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the remarkable effects of these measures on other respiratory illnesses that are caused or exacerbated by viral infections.

Quand je suis arrivée ici, il y a bientôt 20 ans, j’ai appris qu’on ne sait pas tout, loin s’en faut. J’ai appris qu’on n’a jamais tout vu et qu’on a toujours quelque chose à apprendre, quelque chose à voir et à imiter ou quelques habitudes à changer même si notre vie a toujours été encadrée par des coutumes bien délimitées et disons même systématiques.

Comment Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine dévoient le concept de vérité

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

Qu’il y ait eu et qu’il y ait des petits et grands arrangements avec la vérité, rien de très nouveau sous le soleil de l’histoire. On peut en revanche questionner une certaine forme de démonétisation de la valeur de la vérité, caractéristique de ce qu’on nomme aujourd’hui le régime de la post-vérité et qui me semble révéler une crise de notre rapport à la réalité.

Русские, хозяева своей судьбы

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

На протяжении последних дней, скромно говоря, мы видим, как неудержимо растет фигура самого значительного политического лидера XXI века – украинского президента В.Зеленского, невысокого роста, но умного, мужественного и преданного своему народу. По мнению Бориса Джонсона в своем выступлении 27 февраля,он назвал Зеленского яростным конкурентом Путина. По его словам разница между добром и злом, между светом и тьмой никогда не была столь очевидной. Против обезумевшего российского диктатора, перед нами молодой украинский лидер, уравновешанный,с антивоенным настроением до самого последнего момента вторжения России, сталкнувшийся иногда даже с более агрессивной риторикой приходящей из Атлантики, тем не менее, Зеленский встретил неизбежную агрессию, проявив бесспорное лидерство, полное эмоций, сочувствия, политического мастерства и, прежде всего, мужества.

What the public doesn’t get: Anti-CRT lawmakers are passing pro-CRT laws

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Since the final months of the Trump administration, the Republican Party has waged a sustained assault on critical race theory. Otherwise known as “CRT,” this academic framework offers tools to illuminate the relationship among race, racism and the law. Through calculated caricature and distortion, right-wing think tanks and media have weaponized CRT to manufacture a culture war that recasts antiracism as the new racism.

Political rage: America survived a decade of anger in the 18th century – but can it now?

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Americans have an anger problem.

People rage at each other. They are angry at public officials for shutting down parts of society. Or for the opposite reason because they aren’t doing enough to curb the virus. Democrats vent their rage at Republicans. And Republicans treat Democrats not as opponents, but as enemies.
