BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.
This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.
Russian murderers and torture chambers are unable to march further into Europe because they are being held back by Ukrainians holding arms under the blue and yellow flag.
There used to be many white walls of houses and churches in Ukraine, but they have now been burned and damaged by Russian shells. This speaks volumes about who needs to stop for the war to end.
Everyone who defends life and people is carrying out the most honourable mission possible in the face of such an inhumane invasion. And we must fully protect life in our home. I am grateful to everyone who supports our defense and defenders.
When Russian evil launched this war on February 24th, 2022, all Ukrainians rose up to defend their country. Christians, Muslims, Jews — everyone. And I am grateful to each chaplain who is with the army, in our defense forces, on the frontlines, protecting life and humanity. Those who support others through prayer, conversation, and actions.
This is what the Church is: one with the people. Not two and a half thousand kilometers away—somewhere, looking for a virtual meditation between those who want to live and those who want to destroy you.
I am grateful to everyone in and with Ukraine who is making every effort to protect life. I thank everyone who helps, who is truly close in deeds and prayers.
Among the people with whom there is no contact after the Hamas attack is Alex Dancyg. He has likely been abducted, and we hope that he is still alive.
We know him well. He is an upright man, a man of truth and great goodness. A man of justice, grace and generosity (Quran 60:90). He devoted himself to teaching how the evil, perverse, and godless system of Nazi Germany could destroy good, peaceful, and innocent people. He is close to our hearts.
We appeal for his release (3:133-134) to anyone who can influence it (59:9). Fighting against what is perceived as evil cannot lead to even greater evil. The innocent and righteous have the right to live in harmony and peace. This principle applies to everyone (41:43), including Alex Dancyg, who, through his teachings, bears witness to the innocence and righteousness of unfairly treated victims.
We all must seek peaceful solutions, particularly in a land that has witnessed great things and deeply unworthy things. We cannot become the source of ever greater evil.

You can't call it learning or visiting. It's 'absorbing'...absorbing the space, behaviours, feelings and so much more. Humbled to be finally here @JHGCentre
@drjanefreeman Thank You. Will catch up wen I get back. Oh! And pls be patient with Mr.K...in next few days he maybe a bit more tired then usually 😴 ....
In the most doubtful days of writing my thesis, I kept saying to myslef: "I'll just get to the end of it and I'm done with it all". Today, 3 days after submitting final corrections to my thesis, a work trip to a complately new country in Africa feels like the best reward ever.
The problem isn't the destination - #Rwanda will treat asylum seekers well. The problem is the policy - the UK is acting unethically & illegally in refusing to handle asylum cases at home. https://t.co/zguqSL2p8g
States should never handle asylum seekers off-shore. UK is repeating the Australian mistake with this policy. Rwanda's track record of refugee hosting suggests it will treat asylum seekers more humanely than the UK. But wealthy Western states should deal with these cases at home.

If you're white Ukrainians we'll bring you into our homes & stop buying oil from your persecutors.
If you're from Africa/Middle-East we'll send you to concentration camps in Rwanda while selling bombs to the people who blew up your home.
But we're definitely not racist.
