$1️⃣ 1 billion people Within hours of the US withdrawing from the WHO, WHO staffers had put together the $1 dollar 1 World 🌍 campaign. The WHO is required to safeguard the world’s health, track disease, drive global vaccination and advance primary healthcare to areas of need. Donate ⬇️ $1 today 🫶🏻

My summer reading list 📚 I’m very much a non-fiction gal so have gone out on a limb with 3 highly acclaimed fiction reads. It’s never a library visit without me digging through the John Le Carre section to find a gem I haven’t yet read. My fav author never fails me ✨ 🎄📚

When the CM use the word “we”…🙄 I cringe 😩 I’m never sorry that the poor folk at the CM feel betrayed by Tory politicians … I’m more annoyed that they seek to express some collective sentiment like we’ve all forgotten the destruction right wing outlets caused during the ‘23 referendum 😥

Multiple news & advocacy groups have been reporting on the recent decision by the Taliban to ban women from schools of health, particularly nursing & midwifery. As a RN my heart is enormously heavy 💔. In a country where women’s access to healthcare & edu’n is tenuous, this is a targeted attack🇦🇫

Amazon had $15B in profits last quarter. Its stock recently hit a record high. Don't tell us a company that's paid its CEO over $106M in three years can't afford to treat its workers fairly. That's why thousands of Amazon workers are striking in 20+ countries on Cyber Monday.

Home 🏡 is (sadly) where the death is 💔😢 UN Women’s recent femicide report finds 60% of women killed by lethal violence within the family. These numbers rise in some countries but, in others, data is lacking considerably. Without adequate data, Governments are not compelled to act 😢

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

If you haven’t read Chris Masters stellar book, “Jonestown: The Power and the Myth of Alan Jones” do yourself a favour and grab a copy. The book Alan tried to stop is compelling as it is meticulous in detail. Allen & Unwin still have copies. No doubt your local library does too.
