Remembering Alexei Navalny, who died one year ago, on 16 Feb 2024, in a Russian prison in Siberia. One of the bravest men with the biggest heart. His final message: "You are not allowed to give up" Rest in peace 🙏 #Navalny

If the US withdraws military support to Ukraine, it will be a terrible setback. However, there is still enough economic power in other countries, to support Ukraine in its valiant defence.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like. Stand tall against right-wing extremism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Elon is de-funding critical government programs, and it seems he is planning to spend a good portion of it on his rockets, for the unviable Mars colonization program. (Rest will probably be spent on tax cuts for the rich) Is it not the role of the US Congress to decide how tax dollars are spent ?!

We are the world ! This song once represented the best of humanity. In 1985, 46 of the biggest music stars got together in the same studio, to record one of the greatest songs ever, for charity. Sure miss those wonderful times, especially in this turbulent political climate.

#Democracy Democracies have provided a long stint of peace and prosperity since WW2. The rise of hyper nationalism and a desire for quick fixes by strong-man leaders is threatening world peace again. Giving power to such dictators is, as the Tamil saying goes - குரங்கு கையில் பூமாலை கொடுத்தது போல ⬇️

Iron age is typically believed to have started around 1200 BCE. (3200 years ago) Recent evidence from Tamil Nadu (India) indicates that Iron was forged way back around 3300 BC (over 5300) years ago. Interesting ! Hope additional evidence conclusively proves it soon.

If a President can pardon supporters performing violent acts and crimes against opposition politicians and the media, that will be the death of democracy. Power to pardon must be removed or atleast amended to add additional approval from chief Justice.

Bernie Sanders' message after the inauguration: Key points: In the inaugural speech, there was NO mention of the most important issues like: - Healthcare - Housing cost - Income and wealth inequality - Climate change - Federal minimum wage.. Stay focused on these, and not get distracted.

In an era of fast and burgeoning travel all over the world, an infectious disease outbreak anywhere, is a risk to the whole world. This problem requires a global response. Quitting WHO rather than improving it, is a silly and short sighted move.

This withdrawal is a terrible move. Among other things, WHO - - eradicated SMALL POX thru a global effort - Contributed to eradication of POLIO and several infectious diseases. - Provides common guidelines, treatments and strategies for pandemic response Just to name a few..

Sustainable development: As Greta Thunberg points out, the planet earth, with its limited resources, cannot sustain eternal economic growth. The greedy exploitation of natural resources means we are stealing from our descendants. Instead, we need to work on sustainable models of development.

Phrase of the week - heard in a Meidas touch podcast: "Weapons of Mass Distraction" Because that's what they are - Canada, Greenland, Panama, none of which were mentioned during the campaign, are used to distract from - policy chaos - Musk stealing limelight - horrible cabinet nominations etc..

I think It is vital to understand NAR, Dominionism, 7 mountains mandate etc.. .. and to respond in a mature way (beginning with not calling them mentally challenged) .. and to reach out to "love thy neighbour / serve the poor" kind of moderate Christians .. to get away from Oligarchy / theocracy

Trump claims Greenland is needed for self defense. Hmmmm, from who? Answer: Russia So maybe instead let’s just make sure Russia is defeated in Ukraine? Makes sense

Is Biden going to release the Jack Smith reports or not? He has immunity for official acts, per the Supreme Court, so he should just go for it!

Objective facts are important for history. Hope this report on election subversion can serve as an important primary source, for historians looking back at this critical period. Also hope it is quickly released, before any attempts to delay it.
