A powerful reminder by Jack Smith: The rule of law survives when people stand by their principles when things get tough. Hearing someone speak with that much clarity and integrity is a relief. It gives hope and helps keep the disgust from taking over. #JackSmith #Accountability #RuleOfLaw

Poland had some wise words, for Russia. They can puff out their chests all they like, they can keep killing... But this Polish Foreign Minister is 💯 correct. They will never win.

“They don’t understand the scale of the hunger!”- An unfolding crisis at the nation’s food banks

#FoodBanks in #USA face record demand as food & diesel costs rise. Families skip meals or shrink their children’s portions. Charities struggle to keep up. Higher fuel costs also raise delivery expenses, forcing food banks to seek cheaper protein foods instead of beef. meidasnews.com/news/they-do...

A bold statement by AOC. It’s unfortunate that the U.S. has reached a point where restoring a sense of “democratic normalcy” may be a long and difficult process. Rebuilding trust in democratic institutions, the rule of law and political norms will take considerable time. #USPolitics #democracy

Why Bob Rae didn't walk out on Netanyahu's #UN speech: Staying in the room isn't endorsing #Netanyahu. Diplomacy means listening to governments whose arguments you reject💯. The real question is what countries do after: arms, sanctions, access, accountability. #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

PM Carney has been looking more tired lately. It’s no wonder: he’s carrying the weight of the economy, Trump & Poilievre, a do-nothing opposition leader whose incompetent, unconstructive attacks are really just attempts to make himself look competent, because he clearly isn’t. #cdnpoli #Canada

How can peace be achieved between the US and #Iran when the US & Israel bombed a school filled with innocent children? How can #peace be achieved after Trump threatened to “annihilate” the Islamic Republic? At the UN, Trump used “annihilate” 3 times. Look it up if you don’t know what it means.

Trump and his goons put more effort into protecting the powerful and covering up the Epstein files than improving lives, lowering grocery prices or ending wars. But they sure excel at starting wars. Their priorities couldn’t be clearer. #Trump #USPolitics #EpsteinFiles #Accountability
