The Mercator map was created only for navigation, not for education. Colonizers seized it and made it popular to showcase their supremacy and hide reality. Thanks to the United Nations for dismantling this century of distortion.

UN VOTES TO CHANGE WORLD MAP Humanity should use a real map of the world instead of the colonial one, the countries of planet Earth agreed in a United Nations vote yesterday. The widely used Mercator map falsely exaggerates the size northern hemisphere by inaccurately boosting the sizes of North America, Greenland, Northern Europe, and Russia. Accurate ones show the world as it really is. The change proposed by Togo, was popular, with 165 countries voting on it. Of those, 164 voted in favor, and just one—the United States—voted against. The Mercator map was drawn up by European colonialists in the 1500s but has been widely used ever since. Geographers have been campaigning for the real map to be used for more than 40 years. . .

This is what UNRWA calls “education” in Gaza. At their kindergarten, there was no math. No reading. No learning. Only toddlers dressed in full Hamas uniforms, trained to murder Jews and die as martyrs for jihad. This is not a school. This is the United Nations running a death cult factory — and the world keeps paying for it.

The UN voted 164-1 to adopt map projections that more accurately reflect the true size of continents. For centuries, Mercator maps shrank the size of Africa. The United States cast the only vote against — calling it a "radical ideological project."

An educated public is harder to control. That’s why Republicans are attacking public education, dismantling the Dept. of Education, and abandoning the young people our future depends on. Dismantling education isn’t a byproduct of authoritarianism. It’s a prerequisite for it.

Ford’s Conservatives seem to think the Greenbelt - protected areas of green space, farmland, forests, wetlands, and watersheds - was created through an arbitrary process. 🖍️ This week, I asked them about their process for dismantling it. 🪓 #onpoli

Netanyahu just told New York’s Muslim mayor to shove it. Zohran Mamdani declared the Israeli prime minister “not welcome” and pushed for his arrest. Netanyahu’s answer was clear: “I intend to come and speak the truth, speak for Israel and for the Israeli-American Alliance from the podium of the United Nations.”

It was so fitting that the last and most devastating question of this debate was made by a mormon to Ethan Muse, who absolutely destroyed Luke’s entire case. Thanks Ethan for the answer, and I guess thanks Thoughtful-Faith for the question…

🇬🇧 UK's Starmer government denies “any role” in nominating Iran to UN committee. “We did not have an option to block that appointment.” Priti Patel MP, Shadow Foreign Secretary: “The barbaric regime in Tehran has murdered tens of thousands of its own people. It remains the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for appalling antisemitism, and for spying on the British Jewish community. Why did the Government not stop Iran from being appointed to prominent positions in the United Nations Economic and Social Council, as the United States did?” Hamish Falconer MP, Minister for Middle East: “As I understand it, the United Nations appointment she refers to refers was a decision of the Asia-Pacific committee. It was not a decision over which His Majesty’s Government had any role, and was subject to an automaticity process, rather than a vote. We did not have a option to block this, though the Foreign Secretary did raise her concerns about it at the United Nations.”

1979, James Baldwin in the issue of the Nation: “But the state of Israel was not created for the salvation of the Jews; it was created for the salvation of the Western interests. This is what is becoming clear (I must say that it was always clear to me). The Palestinians have been paying for the British colonial policy of "divide and rule" and for Europe’s guilty Christian conscience for more than thirty years.”

Do not use the United Nations for something for which it was not founded. You have a hundred and seventy nations. They don't all agree that democracy is the best way to conduct affairs. They don't all have the same view of human rights that we have. You can't put executive decisions into their hands about war and peace.

It is time to use full force to stop the Islamic regime in Iran’s terrorism. This weekend must change everything and restore freedom of navigation. No conditions. No delays. Every day the Strait of Hormuz is held hostage, more families, farms, factories, and economies across Europe and beyond suffer. The world must act. The UAE stands ready to help the world end this terrorism and hostage crisis. And let it be known: those who turn the seas into weapons and trade into fear shall face the storm they unleashed. For the sea was made for nations to sail, not for tyrants to chain.
