The #Seneca Nation in upstate New York criticized #Trump’s decision to rename #LakeOntario as Lake America, saying it #violates a more than 225-year-old #treaty & shows a “blatant disrespect” for #Indigenous people who gave it its name

Renaming violated 1794 Treaty of #Canandaigua, signed by George #Washington & #Hudenosaunee confederacy promising perpetual #peace, friendship. Seneca are 1 of 6 #nations of confederacy, aka #Iroquois #Confederacy

“Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits ‘rogue state behaviour’”

[..]

“Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight.

“‘Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,’ the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp”

'The Crown cannot easily look a High Court judge in the eye and argue that statutory Treaty obligations are vague, unworkable, or a threat to democratic certainty when the executive branch has formally executed international documents telling the UK and EU the exact opposite.

Trump withdraws #US from world’s most important #climate #treaty
Trump withdraws from #UN Framework Convention on #ClimateChange (#UNFCCC) and 65 additional UN and other multilateral groups, mostly linked to the environment, renewable energy, development, education, and the promotion of democracy and human rights.
A year after Trump, who last year branded climate change a “con job,” announced that he would pull US from the 2015 Paris climate agreement for the second time.

This iconic #indigenous themed display in #kingsdomain #melbourne #australia is breathtaking, for mine.

The respect for aboriginal rights and indigenous equality is strong in these parts.

What better way to celebrate such vital aspects of modern Australia than to display such magnificent art within the heartland of the city’s botanic and recreation areas?

The eyes of these children are filled with hope, happiness and compassion.

I have a strong sense the voice of a nation is making lasting strides, for the better.

For ‘ALL’.

#JustBeautiful
