  1. We have had too many popes issue hollow apologies, and people fall for their crocodile tears.

    1) Demand that the #Pope ask #Catholics to resign from all military posts.

    2) Demand that the #Vatican pay #reparations to all the people of the nations that the church looted, and which afforded it a pile of gold in a private city state in the middle of Rome.

    3) Demand that the #Catholic #Church compensate all the children their priests abused.

    4) Demand that the pope stop condemning #LGBTQ folks.

    5) #FreeLuigi

  2. The utter silence from the British Press about this, it was "Royal News" yesterday

    Oh sure, there are the stories, but the algorithms were not showing this one if that cursed Windows News tab is anything to go by...

  3. The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church just called the police on me. The police were very nice and understanding and let me go after a brief talk.

    I have been seeking #Justice after being assaulted by the guards at Hope Services ( a catholic charity), in #Kona #Hawaii . Several other #homeless people had confided in me that they were being abused, but did not dare speak out, for fear of further violence. Also, they depend upon the charity for food.

    I approached the catholic leaders politely in Kona, and they did not take responsibility. Then I moved to #Tokyo seeking political asylum.

    I approached Mr. Takaii, a priest at the #Meguro Catholic Church, and asked for answers concerning the abuse. Mr. Takaii told me that he did not speak any English, though we had been talking in English for a few days, and he speaks English fluently.

    After persistently and politely raising questions with the Takanawa church, I kept being stonewalled. I still have questions about why they cannot feed me 3 meals a day, turning me away hungry, though they just held a fundraiser for #hungry people in the Philippines. The priest, Mr. Noguchi harshly told me to go back to America.

    Just now, I returned to Takanawa church from the police station, and Mr. Noguchi handed me a letter from Mr. Wataru Suematsu, the parish leader, banning me from church, and threatening police action.

    I intend to get justice for me, and for other people the Catholic Church continues to abuse.

    The Catholic Church is doing something shady with the money, as it is a lavishly constructed church, with a big attendance on weekends, and collects a lot of money.

    The Catholic Church is an organization by and for, old white men. They will always elect an old white man as #pope ( now available in American flavor ). A 39 year old Japanese woman will never be pope.

    The organization was funded by loot from #colonial #genocide, which it continues to hold on to, and continue as a big mind-manipulating business. Even as pope after pope apologizes for the atrocities of the church, the abuses continue.

    Pope Leo has called for #peace though he has not yet asked his followers to resign from the #military which would be a real follow through.

    People of the world, from countries that the church looted and impoverished, are rising up and demanding #reparations

    There’s so much blood on the hands of the church, that the pope’s crocodile tears are not enough to wash them away. Empty words are not enough. People demand to be made whole.

    Please boost this message, to hold the church accountable.

  4. I hope #TrumpsWar is over, wars are bad, but if ANYONE should be paying #Iran $300 Billion in #Reparations it's #DonaldTrump out of his own damn pockets for starting this war without Congressional approval, not actual #taxpayers!!! He broke it, he should buy it.

  5. Countries must prevent harm to the climate system and tackle fossil fuels to ensure the right to life.

    "...The international court of justice (ICJ) said countries must prevent harm to the climate system and that failing to do so could result in their having to pay compensation and make other forms of restitution."

    "The unanimous opinion covers a wide range of matters under international law. It says states are liable for all kinds of activities that harm the climate, but it takes explicit aim at fossil fuels. It says that a state’s failure to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from greenhouse gas emissions, including through the production and consumption of fossil fuels, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licences or the provision of fossil fuel subsidies, “may constitute an international wrongful act which is attributable to that state”.

    "The court said a clean, healthy and sustainable environment was a precondition for exercising many human rights, such as the right to life, the right to health and the right to an adequate standard of living, including access to water, food and housing."

  6. A Vancouver Island First Nation whose people were the first to greet European explorers in the region almost 250 years ago is taking British Columbia to court, seeking title to their traditional territories and financial compensation.

    Chief Mike Maquinna, a descendent of #ChiefMaquinna who met British explorer Capt. James Cook in 1776, says the claim in #BCSupremeCourt seeks to return decision-making, resource and ecological stewardship to the #Mowachaht / #Muchalalaht First Nation.

    He says the province has been acting as the sole decision-making authority in the #GoldRiver / #Tahsis areas of northern #VancouverIsland especially with regards to the forest resource, without the consent of his nation.

    Hereditary Chief Jerry Jack says the claim filed today seeks title to about 66,000 hectares of land from #FriendlyCove to Tahsis in the north and #ButtleLake in the east, and an undisclosed amount of financial compensation.

  7. I'm a longtime supporter of #RAVENTrust & their dedicated work for #Indigenous #justice.

    "Supporting the assertion of the inherent and constitutionally-protected rights of Indigenous Peoples is a powerful pathway towards reconciliation and environmental justice. Working together we’ve raised millions of dollars to back some of the most groundbreaking legal challenges of our time.

    Our First Nation partners have halted mines, stopped pipelines, and created better laws.

    Take a stand for our common future. Join the RAVEN movement for Indigenous justice."

  8. @CharlieMcHenry #Generationalpoverty must be addressed, #reparations, #votingrestrictions. Florida is considered too hostile for blacks to travel to according to the #NAACP. I hope more of us are for #equality and will help us #rise as a nation.
