I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

A fun game is to go into the Epstein email docs and search for the names of people who have personally made policy decisions that hurt you or your loved ones.

Earlier this year a group of government and CAF officials, plus health care leaders, gathered for only the second war games involving Canada’s health care system since 1939. It was more urgent, and less hypothetical. And it became a question about national resolve. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Can Canada’s health system survive if we find ourselves at war?
The country at war would be more than just the logistics of hospitals and ambulances and doctors and nurses. It could become something Canada has rarely faced: a true test

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang
Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?

I mean, do they not know that we can see the consequences of this exact rhetoric and ideology playing out in the US right now? And that we find it totally horrific?

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
