Take a look at the video trailer!

I'll see when I get your book but our foreign policy has been so terrible for so long I'm not sure where we begin to fix it. We had started no wars before Vietnam, now ~35? How about ~60 covert regime changes, one of which may have been here in the US? Who really decides foreign policy here anyway?

We've got a potential base.
We need fearless Americans able to explain why these bulleted groups represent The Ideal American Future Direction For us All!
maga-muskies have already painted their gross picture where to Lie-usurp-demean-exploit & cheat "US" are their only solutions for us Americans.

Just wondering why 45% of your votes agree with republican votes…

rnjkp.bsky.social•2 days ago

You’re referring to Eugene. You have the wrong brother. It’s shocking you don’t know the difference.

renee5.bsky.social•3 days ago

I guess I was shunning. But it will be held to find out what the 45% is. That’s why I posted it - to find information

dachte.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wondering where you got that 45% figure. Are you sure you're not mixing him up with his brother Eugene Vindman? His brother is a politician and has a voting record you could look up; one site for that is here:

Yup. Massively illegal, too. I am wondering who has the standing to press a lawsuit ASAP.

taz1.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think anyone will.
Honestly, I think it's too late for courts. Of course, I hope they will.
When SCOTUS gave him immunity that was the end.
Barely anyone is reporting about this today. UGH

Your click is cash use it wisely. Your social media account is worth more than you think. Want to end Musk, Bezos and Zuck. Cancel your accounts. Organized targeted socialmedia account cancellation are the route forward @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @benstiller.redhour.com

America or money? This will change America. If 50% of America does 5 simple things:

1. Turn away from Facebook and Instagram
2. Stop buying online especially Amazon 3. Get rid of X (twitter)
4. Sell your Tesla stock.
5. Focus local
End Bezos, Musk, and Zuck.
Set a date and begin the boycott.

For decades, the US has pursued a ‘Russia First’ foreign policy defined by short-sighted deals & misplaced fears—leading to the Ukraine War. In The Folly of Realism, I dissect these missteps & lay out a values-based approach to global security.

What national counterprogramming can you do? Like, every week, same day of the week, same time, to a national audience? This was Rep. Crockett's idea:

katelane613.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sir: Trump's actions since 20 Jan have been inhumane, unpresidential & destructive.

Today, Trump has crossed a line! IMO, wherever you live in the World Trump is posing a global danger. His moronic attack on the brave Ukrainian people &, specifically Zelinsky, is grotesque. It's time to speak up

hubertl75.bsky.social•3 days ago

misstrish.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you, Rachel, for standing beside and supporting Alexander.

I always admired and respected him and his brother.

I am so very sorry for how they were treated by Trump.

Your husband and brother-in-law are true Americans who should be lauded. I hope someday there will be statues in their honor.

Sir, our country is witnessing who our true patriots are. We are seeing them stand up for Truth and Honor even as their families and themselves are being threatened and demeaned. You have my utmost respect!

lucyksy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Great title. You ask in the trailer, will we learn from our folly. The answer seems to be no. People hope that not only are we reaching a crisis point but also a turning point. It's not looking good. There are so many ways this can all go very wrong.
