January 7th marks Constitution Day in Ghana, a day set aside to honor the foundation of our democratic nation. This day celebrates not just a legal document but the collective aspirations, peace, and political stability Ghana has enjoyed under the 1992 Constitution, the bedrock of the Fourth Republic.

However, Constitution Day should be more than a symbolic public holiday. It’s an opportunity for all Ghanaians to engage deeply with the Constitution — understanding their rights and responsibilities, appreciating the rule of law, and reinforcing our commitment to democracy.

This year, with the holiday shifted to Friday, there’s a unique chance for greater public participation through:
- Civic education programs led by the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE)
- Community forums and school activities focusing on constitutional literacy
- Media discussions highlighting the importance of peaceful political competition and constitutional reforms

Let’s use Constitution Day to reflect on our journey, renew our dedication to democratic values, and recognize that the Constitution belongs to every Ghanaian—not just lawyers or politicians.

Together, we can transform Constitution Day into a meaningful celebration of Ghana’s democracy and future.

"Suspect in vandalism of Vice President JD Vance's Ohio home is behind bars"

Alternate headline: Suspect in kidnapping of President Maduro is...just chilling, I guess

Seriously, stop reporting "crimes" as if they're a real thing anymore.

Text of letter to #ClareONeil:

Urgent Concern: #Australian Government Stance on US Military Action in #Venezuela

Dear Clare,
I am writing to you as a resident of Clayton South and one of your constituents, to express my profound concern regarding the recent military assault by the #UnitedStates on Venezuela and the reported #kidnapping of President Nicolás #Maduro.

This issue is deeply personal to me. Both of my grandfathers served in the Second World War. They did not enlist merely for the sake of conflict; they served to defend the principle that the world should be governed by the #ruleoflaw and the #sovereigntyofnations, rather than the "might is right" doctrine of aggressors.

As a sovereign nation and a member of the #UnitedNations, Venezuela's #territorialintegrity and leadership are protected under #internationallaw. To see a close ally bypass international norms by launching a military assault and abducting a foreign leader to face domestic trial feels like a betrayal of the very world order my grandfathers fought to establish.

I would appreciate a clear response from you on the following:

1. Support for Sovereignty: Do you, as my local representative, support an ally launching a military assault on a sovereign nation and kidnapping its president?

2. Australian Values: Does the Australian Government believe these actions align with our national commitment to a rules-based international order?

3. The ANZAC Legacy: How does the Government reconcile supporting such unilateral actions with the values of justice and sovereignty that generations of Australian service members-including my own family-have sacrificed to protect?

4. Government Position: What steps is the Australian Government taking to advocate for a peaceful, diplomatic resolution that respects international legal standards?

I am a firm believer in the "fair go," and there is nothing "fair" or lawful about the extrajudicial removal of a head of state.

I am concerned that silence or tacit support for these actions undermines our own moral standing on the world stage.

I look forward to hearing your personal views on this matter and learning how the Government intends to respond to this breach of international norms.

Yours sincerely,

It really is a #MustRead #MustWatch #MustListen. Any or all.

Make the time. Be informed of what’s at issue and what’s at stake. #UN #NATO #InternationalLaw #RuleOfLaw #TheUSIsARogueState #Venezuela #Greenland #Canada #JeffreySachs

“My Briefing to the UN Security Council Regarding US Aggression Against Venezuela

The issue before the Council is whether any Member State—by force, coercion, or economic strangulation—has the right to determine Venezuela’s political future or to exercise control over its affairs.”
