Clearly this man has never owned a bike in NYC (and/or lives in New Jersey).

Come November, many of them will also be first time voters.

Missteps and spoilers notwithstanding, I don't want to live in a world where the youth don't protest the murder of babies.

They give me hope that we (humanity) are hanging on by a thread to some sense of morality.

Columbia still has its official website up lionizing the protesters of 1968 who occupied university buildings to protest the Vietnam War until the NYPD, in Columbia's own words, 'stormed' campus, creating a 'fallout that dogged Columbia for years.' news.columbia.edu/content/new-pe…

Man from #Gaza survived with his dog..

A leaked briefing to next EU Commissioner for development says EU aid should be a transactional tool for EU interests rather than meet the needs of victims of poverty, war, disasters & neglect. If EU wants to stand for human rights & “European civilisation” this must be rejected.

A joint submission from four bureaus - Democracy Human Rights&Labor; Population, Refugees & Migration; Global Criminal Justice & International Organization Affairs – raised 'serious concern over non-compliance' w/international humanitarian law in Israel's conduct of the Gaza war.
