Not many armies in the world, let alone in a developing nation, could seize control at the brink of anarchy, restore order within 48 hours, resist the lure of power, and return authority to the people

The Nepal Army did just that.

Kudos.

"proof that even a former president can be held accountable."
Heck yes Brasil!

[Julia Vargas Jones @juliavargasj]

Back in March, Charlie Kirk said “Brazil is a canary in the coal mine” for what he called "lawfare".

Bolsonaro's 27-year sentence has quickly become a rallying cry for the American right, but it's also a reminder of the road the U.S. didn’t take.

"We are living proof that—in this age of moral relativism & lie-based politics—some very important things remain black & white.
Like the fact that true democracy requires the representation & participation of all living things.
Including us."

New federal rule:
Ten years 🔜
Remove all lead pipes in our drinking water supply

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

More than nine million lead service lines deliver water to families across the US. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule improvements requires replacement of these pipes within the next 10 years. #GetTheLeadOut #ChildrensHealth

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

The @EPA's new rule to remove thousands of lead pipes is a major step in the right direction and will be paving a path toward safer water for all of our communities.
