When the President mocks the US women’s hockey team after a win, that’s not harmless banter.  Misogyny is alive and well.  And as a physician, let me be clear: misogyny is a public health threat to women’s health.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Palestinians do not need another peace circus, nor shark billionaires who view Gaza through the prism of a real-estate opportunity rather than a people. There can be no β€œpeace” that erases Palestinian agency while entrenching Israeli criminal impunity.

Carney:

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:

"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."
