This hasn't received much attention but with 2nd seizure of oil tanker of Venezuela it will.

The two tankers seized are oil China purchased. Seizures violate International Law.

China has taken the issue to the UN.

This is what’s on CNN right now, an hour after Republicans passed a bill stripping healthcare from 17 million Americans, gutting food assistance to the tune of $300 billion, and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

I’m appalled Zelensky isn’t in a suit…

Wait, no I applaud Zelensky for not wearing a suit that feels better.

You are a country at war; we saw Churchill do the same wearing combat gear in solidarity with your soldiers.
📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Well, a good friend posted a version of this song from farm aid concert in 2000, it was sung by Arlo Guthrie, it touched a nerve. Then less than 6 hours later my sister shared this version from my favorite Irish Folk singer Christy Moore.
The moral is to care for each other
