Insecurity and climate crises push thousands to the edge in #BurkinaFaso. Aid efforts are maxed out and communities overwhelmed. I’ve allocated $5.9M from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund for humanitarian partners to deliver food, shelter, health and protection.

We are only asking for 1% of what the world spent last year on defence. And we can save over 100m lives. Let’s get our collective priorities right. My speech at #ECOSOCHAS: bit.ly/3SXbANj

Timely and necessary. @potustrump47.bsky.social and McCarthy intersect on: 1) weaponisation of fear 2) demand loyalty tests 3) disregard for factual scrutiny 4) institutional corrosion 5) ethically unmoored 6) morally hollow

The U.S. veto today at the UNSC is a shameful abuse of power. Calling the resolution “divorced from reality” is itself a despicable distortion of reality. What’s truly divorced is the U.S. position from the suffering of civilians. This is not leadership. It’s complicity. #Gaza #UNSC #CeasefireNow

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States. But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

Canadians have cooled on US travel

Mexico is looking like a much better option.

While the world focuses on Gaza, the occupied #WestBank faces unprecedented violence, displacement & rising humanitarian needs. Destruction in #JeninCamp forces more families from their homes. These demolitions must stop. Systematic destruction violates IHL & can't be normalized.

Hammarskjöld said, “The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven, but to save humanity from hell.” In 2025, the Security Council is incapable of even that. Wars rage, ppl starve & atrocities go unanswered. Is the mandate not peace & security? The world burns while the Council debates. Pathetic.

I have no doubt that @chrislockyear.msf.org could have spoken for hours about the horrific crimes of war in Sudan. But the real question is - what will the #UNSC do? They’ve mastered the art of listening, but where is the action on Peace and Security?
