Was really sad to see this report today. https://t.co/9L5CfJiDn3 Issues like early #childmarriage and #ChildTrafficking rob children of an opportunity for life and #hope . A future is stolen when these things are allowed to continue.
Breaking the silence on China’s ‘two-faced’ campaign against #Uighurs https://t.co/LootnMF4xG via @FRANCE24 . Isn't this the 21st century, and this barbaric treatment of yet another ethnic group still happening? Did Rwanda, did the Holocaust, teach us nothing? R we so afraid?
Cost of inaction far exceeds the cost of prevention. It is illustrated in so many areas of our lives. When in the history of mankind will we finally grasp this basic concept? #environment#ClimateCrisis linked to at least 15 $1bn-plus #disasters in 2019

The Chinese authorities’ propaganda should fool no one. The internment camps—where up to one million people, predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities, are being arbitrarily detained—are places where torture and other forms of ill-treatment is rife.
@talkSPORTLive United have been declining since the last couple years of SAF. No strategic investment. Why else bring Scholes out of retirement? Disaster to switch out SAF and David Gill at the same time. Moyes and others set up for failure. #ManchesterUnited
A full on assault on the right to worship as one pleases. #Chinese mosque partially destroyed in govt campaign against Muslim minority #China#freedomofworship#ReligiousFreedom

There are two kinds of people in the world, the conscious dogmatists and the unconscious dogmatists. I have always found myself that the unconscious dogmatists were by far the most dogmatic.
Both Capitalism and Socialism are opposite sins against property. Capitalism emphasizes private rights to property without any social responsibility to the common good: Socialism emphasizes the social use of property, to forgetfulness of personal rights.

Unplanned is a well-done, professionally-rendered faith-based movie, with a strong script and strong performances. It deserves to be seen and promoted. https://t.co/kSDx21Q8wS
Abolish religion if you like. Throw everything on secular government if you like. But do not be surprised if a machinery that was never meant to do anything but secure external decency and order fails to secure internal honesty and peace.
“If humanism were right in declaring that man is born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to die, his task on earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature.” #Solzhenitsyn
I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful.
It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress.
But our job is to serve, not rule.
