We are excited about the new Pope bettering lives of people around the world. "He resembles Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants and to meeting people where they are. 'The bishop is not supposed to be a little prince sitting in his kingdom.'” #peace #PopeLeoXVI #VivaLaPapa

From a peace research perspective, seen as we gather for the 50th: a long history of naming some as the "enemy" with no rights: disposable, expendable, worth-less, and deserving of death; and that violence and militarism are fine ways of resolving conflicts #PeaceNotWar #ReunificationDayVietnam

"DOGE locked us out of our offices and then fired nearly all 300 staff." From @mattmipra.bsky.social in Vietnam: "Andrew Wells-Dang, Institute of Peace (USIP), was supposed to be here, and then he lost his job. His Op Ed just published in USA Today." #PeaceNotWar #ReunificationDayVietnamU.S.

Today President Biden pardoned a record number in one day. We are still hoping for Leonard Peltier's freedom, an Indigenous elder and activist. @amnesty.org shares our sentiment and wrote a letter in Sept. "Biden will continue to review clemency petitions." #activism #PeaceNotWar
