Justice for Beirut لبيروت link.medium.com/8AstjshR58 Before we start pointing fingers at others who might have targeted the material as an act of sabotage or war, we must know who is the first and main culprit who stored highly explosive material in the centre of the City #Beirut

Looking forward to be part of #wrldcty next week and to my conversation with Manish Vera @MUSOFICECREAM @MomentFactory @wrldcty
When thinking about urban renewal and bringing our cities back to life, we often forget to address the poetics of the city as we imagine its future. Join leaders from the @MUSOFICECREAM and @MomentFactory as they discuss how we must all think & act as experience creators.

First shortage immigation, then passport lineups now this! when do we start a serious conversation about the apparent systemic failure of our federal bureaucracy? who takes responsibility? #Canada theguardian.com/world/2022/j…
In other words 100B$ so far this year and 183B$ last year at the root of the inflation are actually private profits extracted from consumers. Not to mention impacts on environment & development. This is the system we live in #Oil theguardian.com/business/202…

Worrisome assessment "if it is to survive, the United States will have to recover its revolutionary spirit. The crises the United States now faces in its basic governmental functions are so profound that they require starting over" theguardian.com/world/2022/j…
Particular context for new urban governance models #NEOM “NEOM is meant to be a model where this region will be a semi-independent free zone, it will have its own laws, it will have its own regulations and its own authority as a semi-government,” blooloop.com/technology/news…
2 months after Afghanistan 'surprise' "The sudden move caught U.S. officials totally off guard. “We did not receive any sort of heads-up from the military that they would be undertaking these anti-democratic actions,” State Department spokesperson.. foreignpolicy.com/2021/10/26…
Enough w that individual liberty crap, I'd bet on science vs facebook anytime. "A separate study demonstrated that unvaccinated people were 11 times more likely to die of the disease than those who were fully jabbed. If the science of vaccination is clear, the politics are not."
Vous me perdez là Mr. Coderre; nous protéger de nous-même, vraiment? c'est le rôle de l'église ça... Drôle de positionnement en ce début de campagne -1 @DenisCoderre Pas d’alcool dans les parcs en soirée, promet Denis Coderre lapresse.ca/actualites/grand… via @lp_lapresse

Nothing in this argument doesn't make perfect sense for the #USA and even for #Israel , not to mention for a positive moral stance The benefits of U.S. support no longer outweigh the costs. foreignpolicy.com/2021/05/27…
Great thread on German proposal to transform #Beirut port area thx @Sunniva_Rose
A press conference called "German project for a European revival of the Beirut port and the surrounding area" is ongoing. Suheil Mahayni of Hamburg port consulting says these are the 4 goals: A/ build highly efficient port
Sign ô the times in #Israel even @haaretz delves into historical revisionism Pre-state Israel = Palestine. It's ok Nir, you can say the word "Never-before-seen Aerial Photos of Pre-state Israel Taken by a Nazi Pilot" haaretz.com/jewish/holocaust…
When I started to seriously incorporate data into my thinking and work, I had the chance to get this publication by @blprnt Office for creative research. This is how discovered an incredible writer/ editor who made of data a fundamental human story. Can't wait for this next one

When a country reaches that level of impunity in crime, the whole world should be worried. #lebanon state is hijacked by criminal agents & justice system paralysed. International response is necessary. My reading of situation here @AgnesCallamard fffady.medium.com/lebanon-20…
Brutal killing of #LokmanSlim in #Lebanon: We call for a credible and effective investigation, including on who were behind the many threats against him before his killing, what are the possible link between his murder and his reporting on the #BeirutBlast ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Page…
#Lebanon ruling class are the basis of a giant pyramid. If they fall, a whole system of profiteers, arms dealers, drug barons, corrupt contractors and money launderers will fall with them. They can't form a salvation government that spells their downfall, they must be forced out

Why isn't there a coalition of hundreds of local #NGO with a clear simple demand to the #UN Security Council and the international community to impose an emergency government for #lebanon?
