Being careful to edit my inner-monologue. Though stuff escapes. Views are definitely my own.

We need a national quiet day where everyone just shuts up for 24 hours

A beautiful column by one former @UN ambassador & former @OntarioNDP leader about another: @BobRae48 on Stephen Lewis, and their last phone call just before Lewis died: "I shall see you on the other side and shall greet you warmly,” Lewis said. https://t.co/1nMrVeb9LN

Let’s put these words on repeat today:

God loves me.
He has a plan.
And He absolutely can be trusted.

ICE out of Canada and no Canadian support for ICE. Sign Canadian MP Heather McPherson's petition to ban funding to Canadian companies working with ICE, ban goods destined to ICE and revoke permission for ICE in Canada. I signed. @HMcPhersonNDP

@rachkmc Sometimes the hardest thing is to treat ourselves the way we treat others

@Devin_Heroux That was cold. She has been open about her mental health struggles, so I would hope that would give her pause to be gracious to a kid...and one who adores her.

A thread 🧵...

C.S. Lewis wrote, "the death of a beloved is an amputation”. Ghost pain follows: the ache a love gone. Reminders of existences obliterated. After 40 years it's also a reflection on how Canada has, and hasn’t, reckoned with the worst terror attack on its own people

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

"Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable"

We paid $98 million for food that's going to rot and now starving children will die

That's .05% of the $200 billion tax cut Trump and the GOP are proposing for wealthy heirs like Don Jr. and Eric - just so they don't have to pay taxes on the first $15 million they inherit.

All told, about a TRILLION dollars in tax cuts will go to people making over $1 million

I spent about a week in South Sudan. There is immense hunger there...and even more in Sudan. People are suffering, and yet so many across the world choose to turn away. Don't be one of them, Watch this:

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

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 Washington.
The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust.

@NickKristof would you be interested in talking to us @Foodgrains we're in Aweil right now looking at the impacts of cuts and also how aid works.
