Ain't that the truth, though?
I don't want to wish homelessness, hunger, poverty, or sickness onto anyone, but it might be more expedient that way.

Heading into 2026, every pillar of the world order we have known since World War II’s end is crumbling, but despite this, a majority of electorates believe helping others is a reliable way to help oneself. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/30/world/multilateralism-still-alive/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #aid #hunger #development #socialwelfare

So weird that we act like there's not enough for everyone. we throw out 60 million tons of food each year. our landfills are packed with furniture and electronics. 16 million homes sit vacant. NO ONe should be hungry or unhoused!

Liberalism’s enduring tension between promoting progress and safeguarding freedom is visible in foreign aid, where well-intentioned experts often undermine dignity and self-determination by assuming they know best. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/23/world/the-history-of-enlightened-oppression/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #adamsmith #immanuelkant #johnstuartmill #marquisdecondorcet #liberalism #colonialism #foreignaid #hunger #sdg #development

Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Please do what you can to help this family. Mohamed is caring for his younger siblings & his sister, Sara, has two young boys. They are in need of winter clothing, shelter & other basic necessities. If you are unable to help financially, please boost &/or copy the links to post on your other social accounts so their story can reach a greater audience.

Save Mohammad and his family from hunger and extermination

My name is Mohammad Mazen Dawood. I am 20 years old and from northern Gaza. I was a computer engineering student, full of hope and passion to finish my degree and start working to support my family. Every day I dreamed of graduating and building a better future. But the war came and destroyed everything.

🌙Tonight is my first evening shift for the winter season at the Malden Warming Center

🧤Alongside dedicated volunteers, we offer much more than just shelter during the harsh #winter months. We offer hope, access to critical resources, and a reminder that our guests are not alone.

✅Remember: Non-profits rely on community partners, donors, and volunteers. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant impact!

On Thursday, November 27 (6:30pm) the Toronto Buddhist Church (1011 Sheppard Avenue W) will hold another soup-packing event. This is to create ready-mix soup bowls with rice, lentils and seasonings for the less fortunate. Like an assembly line, they add individual ingredients to create a nourishing, hearty soup. It's a fun filled group activity serving a great need! They provide all ingredients, so just come to help pack.

About a dozen people of different ages, genders, and ethnicities crowd around a table covered in ready-to-make soup bowls. Picture is from the Toronto Buddhist Temple Facebook page.

My brother in Christ, the government uses my tax dollars to bomb villages, arm warlords, fund coups, and traffic children through proxy states. If a junkie eats because of me, that's the most moral thing my taxes have ever done. You're worried about a Twinkie. I'm worried about a drone strike.
