"From Portland, Maine, to Portland Avenue in Minneapolis to Portland, Oregon, mayors, we do not back down to bullies. We stand up for democracy."
Jacob Frey's closing at the "94th Winter Meeting" of the bipartisan conference of mayors, which drew 250 mayors from across the country, is a must-watch.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Seriously, WHEREVER you are in the world, I recommend watching all of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful & already famous speech at Davos.
Can’t underestimate its leadership importance.
Key line: “Middle powers must work together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”
