In northern Ethiopia, a new famine could rival the worst of the past. So many horrors in the Horn right now and so little attention to them. #ethiopia #sudan theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

BREAKING: Israel's Minister of National Security just confirmed that his plan is for the IDF to expel all Palestinians from Gaza. This is the genocidal government that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party backs, funds, and arms.

Sadly, President Biden is not the campaigner he was in 2020—and looks very likely to lose to Trump, one of the weakest candidates in presidential history. I am convinced that a number of other Democrats, including Vice President Harris, stand a better chance of winning.

They want to shock you. The sex fiend! The dog killer! The Russian asset! The names matter, but as much as what Trump is going for - dominance, not only over Congress but over objective reality Stop fighting a president when we have a king. My new column🎁share.inquirer.com/GlcsMN

These speeches by the Palestinian & Israeli who made “No Other Land” are so simple & powerful. The Palestinian saying “I don’t want my baby daughter to face the same oppression.”The Israeli saying “I can’t be safe if my Palestinian brother isn’t free.”

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in

During the past several weeks, Israeli bombs have killed between two & four dozen Palestinians daily (yesterday it was 51). No press coverage! The past 2 days stories have been about the trauma of Israeli hostages & how Israel’s using AI to target. Palestinian lives don’t matter
