Brazil’s ex-President Bolsonaro barred from election until 2030

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:15:07 GMT

By Mauricio Savarese and Carla Bridi | Associated PressSAO PAULO — A panel of judges voted Friday to render far-right former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro ineligible to run for office again after concluding that he abused his power and cast unfounded doubts on the country’s electronic voting system.The decision, once all judges have voted, will forbid Bolsonaro from running until 2030, upending the 68-year-old’s political future and likely erasing any chance for him to regain power.Four of the seven judges on the nation’s highest electoral court agreed that Bolsonaro abused his authority by using government communication channels to promote his campaign and sowing doubts about the vote. One judge voted against, and two judges had yet to vote.“This decision will end Bolsonaro’s chances of being president again, and he knows it,” said Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo. “After this, he will try to...

Protests: French president urges parents to keep teens home

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:15:07 GMT

By Sylvie Corbet, John Leicester and Alex Turnbull | Associated PressPARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron urged parents Friday to keep teenagers at home and blamed social media for fueling rioting that has spread dramatically across France following the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old driver.In the face of a growing crisis that hundreds of arrests and massive police deployments have failed to quell, Macron held off on declaring a state of emergency, an option that was used in similar circumstances in 2005. Instead, his government ratcheted up a law enforcement response that has resulted in 875 arrests.The interior minister ordered a nationwide nighttime shutdown of all public buses and trams, which were among the targets of three consecutive nights of urban unrest. Macron also zeroed-in on social media platforms that have relayed dramatic images of cars and buildings being torched and other acts of violence.Social networks are playing a “considerable role” in ...

Pac-12 survival: Our forecasts for media rights revenue, network partners and expansion as the saga continues

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:15:07 GMT

It has been 360 days since the Pac-12 presidents authorized commissioner George Kliavkoff to “immediately” begin negotiating a media rights deal and 137 since they expressed hope for a resolution “in the very near future.”Evidently, the presidents think in geologic time, where the “very near future” means sometime this century.There is still no media deal, no decision on expansion and no hard evidence suggesting the endgame is nigh.Instead, there are only crumbs, clues and hints that the Pac-12’s existential crisis soon could be coming to a close.Today, on the anniversary of USC and UCLA announcing their intentions to enter the Big Ten on Aug. 2, 2024, the Hotline presents a summary of the situation and predictions for the outcome.The survival oddsOur current forecast views Pac-12 survival as a 4-point favorite over Pac-12 extinction, suggesting a 60 percent probability (approximately) that Kliavkoff will negotiate a media contract that keep...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:15:07 GMT

The characters that Rock Hudson and James Dean play in the acclaimed 1956 film, “Giant,” don’t like each other very much.It turns out that it wouldn’t have been hard for either star to convey that antipathy onscreen, as the new documentary, “Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed,” reveals. Hudson admitted in a 1983 interview that he didn’t “particularly like” Dean, while Dean didn’t appreciate Hudson “hitting” on him when he thought that Hudson had gone to great lengths to keep his sexual orientation hidden from the American public.“Dean considered it hypocritical that Rock was maintaining this hetero facade in public while privately hitting on Dean,” Hudson’s biographer Mark Griffin recalled in the Max documentary.The documentary charts Hudson’s journey, as he arrived in Hollywood in the late 1940s, quickly rose to stardom in the early 1950s and became one of the film word’s biggest stars...

Amanda Hernández | Stateline.org (TNS)Democratic governors and state lawmakers across the country are mobilizing against a surge of Republican restrictions on transgender health care by establishing their states as sanctuaries for gender-affirming care.Earlier this month, Democratic Gov.

A growing number of cities, including New York City; Kansas City, Missouri; and West Hollywood, California, also have become sanctuaries.These states and cities are emerging as havens with legal protections to shield health care providers, transgen...
