Mary Grace @emgeekay.bsky.social · 20/04/2026We need a rules-based international order, but it will never come about without reform of the UN Security Council, and without governments speaking out against violations of international law.

tjocanada50.bsky.social @tjocanada50.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Interesting! Esp. about Pakistan. Disagree about Carney, though. At least I'd argue that he's the best person for the moment. He could go further, though, and should. 100
