In Toronto, residents are surrendering guns in exchange for safety. In Ghana, guns are crossing borders faster than the police can count them. The contrast is startling: one city disarming its citizens to preserve peace, another watching its youth arm themselves for war. When Toronto Police launched their Gun Buyback and Retrieval Program, sceptics called it symbolic, a soft response to a hard problem. Yet, in less than a year, the initiative saw hundreds of firearms voluntarily surrendered, removing deadly weapons from homes, streets, and criminal reach. The result? Fewer shootings, a drop in violent crimes, and a stronger bond…

For those in health and human services, this fragility can carry real consequences. Nurses who can’t communicate respectfully risk patient safety. Social workers who respond without empathy can lose the trust of their clients. Dietitians who…

A Senate procedural vote to advance a full-year Pentagon funding bill failed Thursday as Democrats largely opposed the measure, insisting instead on broader negotiations to end the ongoing government shutdown. The vote was 50-44, falling short of the 60 votes needed to move forward.

The defense bill itself emerged from a bipartisan appropriations process and had passed out of…

Never content to pollute only the Earth’s surface, oceans, and atmosphere, billionaire tech moguls like Elon Musk are increasingly flooding our planet’s orbit with debris from their for-profit space ventures.SpaceX, for example, already has some 8,600 active Starlink satellites doing laps around the planet, a number that needs constant reinforcements as craft either tumble back down to Earth or join the 25,000 bits of identifiable junk already floating in orbit. Just this week, Musk’s SpaceX launched 21 relay satellites into low Earth orbit on behalf of the US Space Force, after sending another 28 Starlink craft to join his ever-growing…
