We need more than disparate policy changes; we need a holistic vision for what it will take to repair the country. My agenda achieves that...

PFAS is a deadly contaminant our leaders refuse to clean up. Why? Because to do so would go against the will of the corporate masters who for all intents and purposes own them. This is how corrupt it is folks, & why it’s time for the people to step in now. laprogressive.com/democrats-…

Case in point: the US Air Force has ordered 100 B21 raiders, a bomber that costs $560M each and drops nuclear as well as conventional bombs. 5 of those and it’s over for civilization as we know it, 10 and it’s over for the species. So obviously we do not need 100 of those planes.

The biggest problem with our lack of emotional sobriety on the topic of war is that the financial interests of warmongers are served by our denial and distractedness. Who will reap the karma there - just them, or will it not be all of us?

We often talk about less important things because to talk about the most important things would be too emotionally overwhelming. That’s why we don’t having the conversations we need to be having about how to create peace; to do so, we would have to face the harsh realities of war

My Whole Health Plan calls for an end to animal factory farms. This talk is a compelling call to all of us to reconsider how we think about, treat and eat animals. youtube.com/uQCe4qEexjc

We should see large groups of desperate people as a national security risk. Desperate people do desperate things, and are more vulnerable to ideological capture by genuinely psychotic forces. Anything that helps people thrive increases the probability of peace on earth.

Peacebuilding skills take as much sophistication and expertise as do military skills - and in some of the places practiced they take just as much courage.

You can’t just take medicine; you have to cultivate health. And we can’t just prepare for war; we have to cultivate peace. We need a Dept. of Peace and Peace Academy as well as Military Academy. We need an international goal of peace on earth by year 2200. marianne2020.com/issues/us-d…
