The federal analog to this will be dismantling the Pentagon, CIA, and DHS, and investing the trillions we’ll save in establishing a Department of Peace with a mandate—and resources—to support multilateral institutions and help ameliorate international conflicts before they erupt.

Great idea exept institutionalized peace studies have often been instead, the study of war... in true Orwellian fashion. Managed by you, or @RashidaTlaib and @codepink for example, the work might produce the real thing.

We can balance aggression with empathy. It is not weak to do so, it’s our superpower. It’s taken a long time to connect the dots...now that we’ve done so, it’s imperative we act. #VoteOutTheGOP Vote in #justice
