Our country and our Capitol need to be redesigned. We need an honest culture. To strip away the lies and pretense.

“Ireland is sending its most talented men to do the world’s most important work — the work of peace.... that remarkable combination of hope, confidence and imagination.”

We need to organize ourselves in ways that more strongly challenge corporate dominance.

U.S.

Do Congressional Votes Matter when they Don't Change Policy? Another Sheepdogging to Rebrand the Democrats as not Genocidal?

Endless quotes of horror: "Level the place" about Gaza .... "Not one Arab state has felt the need to go down the nuclear road because of Israel’s possession of nuclear weapons."

Establish Order — Even Grok Agrees: South Africa Can Ask for More Emergency Orders from the ICJ. Colombia is Taking the Presidency of the UN “Security Council”. The Door is Open for Uniting for Peace.

Massie saying he supports Trump made him come off as weak. Transpartisan alliance is overdue, and shouldn't depend on designated "leaders".

My letter to Ralph Nader... Could a principled impeachment lead to a peace president — a constitutional revolution?

Did Kristian Andersen just send me the creepiest email? The website for the Consortium likely responsible for the 2014 outbreak no longer exists — is that part of a wider set of erasures?
