Bill Clinton has a call to action at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"You have to ask yourself 'what did Jesse Jackson do that I admire most, that moved me most, and what can I do right now that would maybe be as good as what he did then?' That's what we're all facing here."

Is the Brexit tide turning? East Anglia prepares It’s been 10 long years, but the signs are growing that you can’t keep a good idea down for ever

Hope is rising across East Anglia. Campaigners from Herts to Norfolk are back on the streets with Brexitometers, marches and a renewed push to move Britain closer to the EU...and it's happening across the country.

The 10-year anniversary could be a turning point.

Mark Carney Took the Stand the Rest of the World Must Now Take Disentangling Canada from the United States is a mammoth undertaking. But Carney clearly means business.

The United States is on the cusp of becoming a pariah state, ruled by a spoiled man-child who is increasingly and openly mocked for his obvious failings. It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes to give others the courage to act. trib.al/6H5ge4v
