If a college student in America
feels unsafe due to their ethnicity or religion, then that’s a problem no matter who they are. Our commitment to freedom for all should never be diminished by historical or immediate circumstances. Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are equally evil.
The ancient bond between Muslims and Jews must be fortified, not ripped apart, by what is happening now. Haters on neither side will carry the day. A higher kind of love is the only future for mankind.

Where there is love anything is possible. Where there is love miracles occur naturally. Where there is love things automatically self correct.

From carcinogens in our food to forever chemicals in 46% of our urban water wells, we sacrifice our health and the health of our children at the altar of unfettered greed. 3/4

Health is not the absence of sickness; sickness is the absence of health. We have to face that the United States has the highest level of chronic illnesses than any other advanced society. 2/4

There is something horrible about this. Setting a deadline for when mass killing can stop is unacceptable. The United States should not be supporting this war at all. @POTUS
The official Israeli broadcasting authority reported, that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has set the beginning of next year as a "final" deadline for the war waged by the occupation on Gaza to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Ending pharmaceutical price gouging is important, given that 18 million Americans cannot afford to pay for the prescriptions their doctors give them.
But the President’s post is disingenuous. We are giving tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to pharmaceutical companies that then turn around and sell drugs to us at these exorbitant prices. The problem is not just that we need to bring the prices down through negotiation with drug companies; the Dole Bayh Act of 1980 already gave the govt “marching rights” to do that. The president should not be bragging about giving crumbs to the American people; he should be supporting Medicare For All, which he has said that he would not do.
First of all, the top five pharmaceutical companies had a combined profit of $80 billion last year alone, while Americans’ medical debt comes to $88 billion. One in four Americans live with medical debt. This post by the president is everything that is wrong with corporatism. It’s made to sound like they’re really sticking it to the pharmaceutical companies, when, in fact, nothing fundamentally changes. Some people will be less desperate, that is true. But the system itself does not become more just. Given how much American taxpayers already subsidize pharmaceutical companies, many of these drugs should be free.
Folks, right now, 25 of the largest pharmaceutical companies in America control 70% of the market. This lack of competition drives up prices – making it harder for hardworking American families to access the health care they need.
Today, my Administration is doing something about it. Let me explain:
Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are spent on research, discovery, and development of new prescription drugs. And while I firmly believe that the strength of a nation can be measured by the boldness of its science, the quality of its research, and the progress it helps bring forth, I also believe that the folks who paid for the research – you – ought to be able to access and afford the final product.
That's why my Administration is proposing that if a drug made using taxpayer funds is not reasonably available to Americans, the government reserves the right to "march in" and license that drug to another manufacturer who could sell it for less.
This is an important step toward ending Big Pharma price gouging.
It's good for competition.
It's good for our economy.
And it's good for the millions of Americans who can't afford their medications – who know all too well that fine line between dignity and dependence that the price of a prescription drug can draw.

The biggest threat to the survival of the species is our unwillingness to expand our imaginations, to even consider the possibility that there might be a better way.
We keep indulging the magical thinking that it’s someone else’s responsibility to repair the world.
But it’s not. It is ours. 3/3

We should have peace games as well as war games. We should have a peace Academy as well as a military Academy. We should have an army of peace builders as well as an army of military fighters. 2/3

Imagine if we imagined a world without war within 100 years and reverse engineered from there.
Some people think that’s a naïve idea, but I think what’s naïve is to think the species will necessarily survive another hundred years if we don’t at least try. 1/3
