Some seek to end the horror of war through journalism and media, some through politics and organizing, some through education. I tend to the first camp - but enjoyed learning from Alicia Cabezudo what peace education is all about. On the WBW podcast! worldbeyondwar.org/disarm-your-...

Tony Blair helped launch the war on Iraq, backed Israel’s siege on Gaza, and whitewashed war crimes as a “peace envoy.” Now Trump wants him on a Gaza “peace board”?
Palestinians don’t need colonial overseers. They need an end to occupation & impunity.

Marco Rubio’s career is built upon obedience to an agenda and grooming - not cleverness or knowledge of world history. Hearing him try to articulate Trumpism in his scattershot chatGPT style while sincerely aching to sound witty and erudite is painful.

Americans I speak to lately fall into 2 groups:
Small minority: has the courage to admit that our so-called country is a failed state, an embarrassment and a toxic disaster for the planet.
Majority: desperately trying to avoid being aware of news so they can stay in denial.

Impossible to find words to describe the amount of suffering that USA is about to create for itself and Latin America. Not just Trump but Rubio and Vance and all the sheepish Dems who will gradually line up behind Trump too.

Another regime change war for oil - yes, it’s USA doing what it does. The result will be another slow and painful disaster for USA. (The pain will be suffered all over the world.) All for oil wealth.

Lots of people in USA don’t even seem aware that our incompetent and corrupt government is starting a major new regime change war against Venezuela that will surely have the same result as every other regime change war it started in the last 80 years.

The use of the National Guard in DC under fabricated claims of a crime crisis violates democratic norms and endangers civilians. Militarization = structural violence.
