The world has always been afraid that some stupid madman will get control over nuclear weapons, that's just already happening. The best thing we can do is... not to be afraid and let him know it.

That’s precisely the quote I have in my email signature line.
It applies perfectly to all situations—personal, local, national, and global. It’s always worth reminding ourselves.

I recall Eddie Glaude paraphrasing him; "we need to tell the truth of whom we are in order to imagine ourselves otherwise." Sadly, it seems, too many people are content with their own version of a status quo...

Ask your congresspeople to boycott the State of the Union Address and hold a state-wide town hall instead!

Text SIGN PFOHWU to 50409 to send this letter to both of your U.S. senators plus the U.S. representative from your district. Resistbot will make sure it goes to the right people.

The change in world order is here. Europe is driven to unity that even includes the massive military of Türkiye coming forward. Never before have so many nations been unified.

And Trump's bullshit about US forces & weapons is just that, bullshit.

Here's the reality:
