Extremely disappointed to see this propaganda piece in the latest issue of #Buddhist monthly #LionsRoar. #Bhutan's persecution and ethnic cleansing of the #Lhotshampa is widely documented. Many refugees are settled here in #Michigan and cannot return home. Bhutan's so-called #GrossNationalHappiness is merely #BuddhaWash for the regime's genocidal nationalism. #Asia #Politics #Militarism #Genocide #Dhamma #Dharma #Religion #Spirituality

Former Ambassador for #Palestine #LeilaShahid has passed. "Leila Shahid was not only the best of us, she was the very best of us" -- Mouin Rabbani. She was also the great-great-granddaughter of #Bahaullah, the founder of the #BahaiFaith, although she was not a member of the faith. So long and God bless. 🙏 🇵🇸 🕊️ #Bahai https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-leila-shahid-plo-dies-c00b8a0dd4eb49c1fe93950c5e4323c1

"The proposed package was aimed at supporting disease control efforts in several African countries. However, reports indicate that the funding arrangements in some cases were tied to granting Washington greater access to mineral resources and sensitive health data of citizens in participating countries." #Africa #AfricaPol #Zambia #Zimbabwe #USPol #PublicHealth https://www.lusakatimes.com/2026/02/26/zambia-declines-us1-billion-health-deal-over-national-interest-concerns/

IMHO This is a must-listen episode of #AlbertaUnbound for all of us in #USA and #Canada and elsewhere. Our #FediFriend Senator Paula Simons (@Paulatics@mstdn.ca) speaks with Chief Conroy Sewepagaham of the Little Red River Cree Nation, a #FirstNations community that is struggling to rebuild after several wildfires. #cdnpoli #LittleRedRiver #Jasper #Canada #Cree @Paulatics@mstdn.ca@mastodon.social

"The #Morouns, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge, spent more than $33 million in 2012 backing a statewide ballot proposal aimed at blocking the publicly owned (Gordie Howe International) bridge. Matthew T. Moroun donated more than $605,000 to Trump’s campaign and Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee for Trump’s campaign and the Republican Party, since 2019." #Detroit #Michigan #USPol #CanPol #Canada #GordieHowe https://www.metrotimes.com/news/metro-detroit-news/trumps-threat-to-block-gordie-howe-bridge-is-pure-oligarchy/

#Canada just made it *easier* for some folks to become citizens. If you have a grandparent or parent who was born in Canada or a naturalized citizen of Canada you probably qualify. The application process is pretty simple and only costs $75. I've done it! #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 👍 😁 https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/act-changes/rules-2025.html
