All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.   I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

“Crimes against humanity”, including the crime of aggression, have that name for a reason. They are not just “Crimes against Ukrainians”. Our solidarity must extend to our deeds. Ukraine is not alone in this fight. Humanity, and #Ukraine, must prevail.

Thoughts from Kyiv - afternoon 11 March, Mychailo Wynnyckyj. 1. An interesting psychological shift occurred in my head today: day 16 of the war, and no end in sight.

Should we strive for a rules based international order? Or should we just lean totally into empire building and totalitarianism in a great game where so many people suffer? Because that's what we're deciding on to be clear. Don't let Ukraine fall. #StandWithUkraine

Ukrainian Families were some of the 1st families to settle in Treaty 6 territory, before Alberta was a Province. There are many instances of friendship between Indigenous & Ukrainian peoples that highlight the Spirit & Intent of Treaty 6. Our thoughts are with their kin back home

You can do your part to counter Kremlin disinformation and show support for Ukraine!! Post your support for #Ukraine in the comments of news articles. Amplify Ukrainian voices. Call out Russian disinformation. The Kremlin has an army of internet trolls. We need to fight back!

Before, I thought he was in over his head. But my admiration for this man, for his courage and leadership, has grown and grown.

Remarkable speech. Addressed to the Russian people, it should also be heard everywhere.

My sister and her family are now fleeing for their lives. Indiscriminate Russian bombing. They have bombed hospitals, apartments. This is hell. #StandWithUkraine

Humanizing The Legal Function: What It Means And Why It Matters

The greatest mistake is thinking this is about vaccines: mandates are a pretext for a well financed and well armed assault.

The convoy protest, applauded by right wing media as a "freedom protest," is an economic and security issue now. The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada. Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks ✔️

Churchill’s great speech at Fulton, Missouri said this: “Courts and magistrates may be set up but they cannot function without sheriffs and constables.” As we face a world where raw power swaggers, #PeaceOrderandGoodGovernment needs to come to life. Everywhere.

Watched “Don’t Look Up”. For the record, loved it. Great satire. Reminded me of Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove.
