Voice of America draws on my report from #RMI, about the US Congress' delay in allocating funds to the three Compact states, due last October. RMI President Heine: “Our nation has been a steadfast ally of the US, but that should not be taken for granted.” voanews.com/a/bill-to-fund…

Here’s the security section of the new Australia-Tuvalu treaty. Australia will help if Tuvalu faces military aggression or natural disasters, and has to “agree” to any “cooperation with other countries in Tuvalu’s security sectors.” Veto power, essentially.

"Today I went to Dunkin' Donuts and saw a clearly homeless guy sitting on the side of the road and picking up change. Eventually I saw him stroll into Dunkin, as he was counting his change to buy something I began to get super annoying and talked to him over and over again even when he didn't really want to talk. Since he had maybe $1 in change I bought him a coffee and bagel and asked him to sit down with me. He told me a lot about how people are usually very mean to him because he's homeless, how drugs turned him into the person he hated, he lost his mom to cancer, he never knew his dad and he just wants to be someone his mom would be proud of (along with another hours worth of conversation.) This lovely mans name was Chris and Chris was one of the most honest & sincere people I've ever met. After realizing I really need to get back to class Chris asked me to wait so he can write something down for me. Handing me a crumpled up receipt he apologized for having shaky hand writing, smiled, and left. I opened his note and this was it. 'I wanted to kill myself today, because of u I now do not. Thank u, beautiful person.' " Credit: Casey Fischer
