Legal activist Emily Galvan Almanza chronicles the many ways in which the justice system targets the poor.
It’s not news that judicial outcomes are often tied to the wealth and influence of a defendant:
Not only do the well-to-do have the resources to hire good lawyers,
but juries themselves tend to be made up of older, wealthier, white people.
A predictable result, writes Galvin Almanza, is that defendants of color, represented by appointed public defenders, pull lo…

Brazil’s President Lula has hit the treadmill to ease voter concerns about his age. DJT heard the word “treadmill,” had someone explain what it meant to him, and then needed to be rushed to Walter Reed Medical Center. As before: he’s in unstable condition.

Lubach legt in #diepDuikDonderdag perfect uit wat voor vreselijke dingen Israël op de Westbank allemaal aan het doen is.
En dat op de dag dat Jetten een gag order blijkt te hebben gekregen van Yesilgoz over dit onderwerp.
Niks geen rode lijn meer, dit kabinet gaat vol op de SGP-Wilders-koers. Israël mag z’n gang gaan. Misschien zegt NL nog net foei.

Good Morning #Canada
The 18th river in our countdown is the Albany River, known to the Cree as Kistachowan, which flows northeast from Lake St. Joseph in Northwestern Ontario and empties into James Bay. It is 982 kilometres long, tying it with the Severn River for the title of longest river entirely in Ontario. Dropping 371 m along it's length, and draining a watershed of 135,200 km2, it is one of the most pristine rivers in Ontario and a draw for serious #Canoe and #Fishing enthusiasts. Albany River Provincial Park protects the headwaters and a only a limited number of lodges are allowed on the river, which is known for its Pike, Trout and Walleye fishing excursions.
The river was named after James, Duke of York and Albany, who later became King James II of England. The land north of the Albany River was part of the Northwest Territories until 1912, when it was transferred to Ontario in the Ontario Boundaries Extension Act, 1912.

Multipolarity Not a Hypothesis but the New Reality in Which the World Lives: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez
...what is happening today is not a transfer of hegemonies. It is a multiplication of poles. Not only of power, but also of prosperity. And this is great news for Europe,' Sanchez said.
