Politisation de la Cour suprême : la démocratie américaine en péril ?

(Tiempo de lectura: 5 - 9 minutos)

La Cour suprême des États-Unis serait en passe d’annuler l’arrêt Roe v. Wade de 1973 qui garantit le droit à l’avortement au niveau fédéral, selon l’avant-projet de la décision majoritaire écrite par le juge conservateur Samuel Alito qui a fuité et a été publié sur le site Politico. S’il s’agit d’une version provisoire, son authenticité a été confirmée par le président de la Cour et l’émoi est considérable.

Angela Rayner, porn in parliament and a depressing week for British politics

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

There are more women in the UK parliament and government than ever before – making up about one third of the total 650 members. Yet, there are still cases like The Mail on Sunday running the headline “Stone the crows! Tories accuse Rayner of Basic Instinct ploy to distract Boris”. An unnamed source had told the outlet that Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, crosses and uncrosses her legs to “distract” the prime minister during parliamentary sessions. In case anyone was in doubt about the reference, the article was accompanied by the famous image of Sharon Stone from the film.
Sexualising a female politician may seem like low hanging fruit but it’s common in political discourse. Female politicians in many countries are put in a double bind: appear stereotypically feminine and you’ll be reduced to your looks, appear stereotypically masculine and you’ll be labelled a shrew. It’s typical for women in traditionally male dominated spaces to be sexualised as a way to undermine their legitimacy.

What’s at stake for Trump, Twitter and politics if the tweeter-in-chief returns from banishment

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

Any speculation about whether Donald Trump will return to Twitter after his permanent suspension in 2021 must begin with two caveats. First, we do not know for sure if, or when, the presumed new owner of the social media platform, Elon Musk, will lift the ban. Second, Trump has said he will not come back.

The Cleveland Indians changed their team name – what’s holding back the Atlanta Braves?

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

In October 1995, as the Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves prepared to face off in the World Series, a group of Native Americans rallied outside Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium to protest what they called both teams’ racist names and mascots. Some protesters carried signs, including one that said, “Human beings as mascots is not politically incorrect. It is morally wrong.”

Opposition to abortion doesn’t stop some Americans from supporting friends and family who seek one

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Maxine, a pseudonym for a 58-year-old woman, is among a sizable proportion of Americans who are morally opposed to abortion.

Republican, Christian and a grandmother, Maxine “can’t believe that anybody could honestly say that life doesn’t begin at conception. … That’s the black and whiteness of it, for me: Either it’s life or it’s not.” Abortion is “murder,” she told me.
