Amazing how many countries - including ours - base their economies on exporting weapons, then once the wars start say “Stop the fighting! Stop the fighting!”

We are gaining major ground where it matters most—in the court of public opinion. That means you.
@TheNation just posted another article on my "absurd" Chevron-funded prosecution and the social justice movement that grew up around it.

Big pharmaceutical companies tyrannize this country, providing life-saving drugs on one hand yet destroying lives through obscene profit margins and artificial creation of profit centers (opioids, etc.) on the other.

The American people are so ahead of you on this. We need you to do more than ask that they “calm tensions.” We need you to insist in no uncertain terms that they make some fundamental changes, without which tension will always permeate the air.
Spoke today with Israeli Foreign Minister @Gabi_Ashkenazi about the need to calm tensions in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza. We must find a way to halt the conflict that has claimed the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians.

3/ US promotes war more than we promote peace. We fund things that build conflict more than we fund things that build people’s lives. We export arms more than we export food or school books. We build more bombers than we build homes. So be saddened now yes but do not be surprised

2/ When a ceasefire occurs, that doesn’t mean there will be a return to peace. There was no real peace in the region before. Peace is something we must proactively cultivate, through fundamental changes that will quell the fires not only on the streets but within people’s hearts.

1/ MLK Jr. said there is “negative peace and positive peace.” Negative peace means there’s no outright conflict but there’s underlying tension and anxiety. He said positive peace can only be predicated on brotherhood and justice.

He could signal the withdrawal of US support in a way that would absolutely make a difference.

People really don’t understand how much the presidents can achieve, even those who think they do.
