Rechazamos la acción militar unilateral de EE.UU. e Israel, que supone una escalada y contribuye a un orden internacional más incierto y hostil. Rechazamos igualmente las acciones del régimen iraní y de la Guardia Revolucionaria. No podemos permitirnos otra guerra prolongada y devastadora en Oriente Medio. Exigimos la desescalada inmediata y el pleno respeto del derecho internacional. Es hora de retomar el diálogo y alcanzar una solución política duradera para la región.

GLP-1 drugs offer real benefits and low and middle incomes countries should not be excluded from their potential. But without explicit governance safeguards, their rollout could weaken obesity prevention policies, @kentbuse @acarriedo @SBarquera bmj.com/content/392/bm…

"An abrupt dismantling of the agency, without a considered plan, risks undermining hard-won gains." As the @UNAIDS board meets next week to decide the agency’s future, it should focus on a strategic transition that safeguards progress bmj.com/content/391/bm…

New Perspective: Research doesn’t always ‘speak for itself’; uptake of science into #publichealth policy requires active engagement between researchers & policymakers. @jjaimemiranda & colleagues offer tangible recommendations to help bridge this gap. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Opinion: U.N. high-level meetings are considered a rare and important opportunity to raise the political priority of a global health issue; realizing that potential will require a series of reforms. #Echobox=1759245020" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">devex.com/news/how-to-ma…

When industry lobbyists win in New York, evidence from Geneva loses. Last week’s UNGA High-Level Meeting on #NCDs was a reminder of their potential & pitfalls. While summits can raise political priority, they risk undermining ⁦@WHO⁩ consensus www-devex-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.devex.…

Memo to Rachel Reeves - no, growth does not “underpin everything else”. A thriving natural world does - and slashing ability of concerned residents to challenge the destructive impact of mega projects is yet another way of turning more people off politics theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

This is how @Nestle markets #junkfood to kids in my country 🇲🇽 — a supermarket game promoting one of its brands 💀. The product carries two front-of-package warning labels 🛑and is banned from schools in Mexico (captured by a mother in Veracruz).

@queenofthesou1 Well done you!

I just deleted my post about how many sober days I had under my belt. The last time I did that, some woman said, "Come back when you've done 3 years." I shouldn't let people like that bother me, but it did hurt my feelings a bit. So, yeah. For anyone who cares, it's 48 days.
