Bored of Peace
Heaven knows that the newly established nothingburger Board of Peace, chaired by our president and aided by his brilliant son-in-law, the former UK prime minister Tony Blair and several other human rights abusers, will be pretty darn busy dealing with the fallout, a word carefully chosen, from our fun new invented conflict with Iran.
The new board reflects the incoherent mix of perspectives, attitudes, allegiances and ideologies present in the administration’s wider “foreign policy.”
The nightmare continues.

Just Do It
As the headlines blare through war, more war and the usual parade of political absurdities, it’s easy to feel like we’re passengers on a runaway train. But history, and daily life, suggest otherwise.
Humans possess a miraculous capacity to do the right thing when we need to. We check on neighbors. We volunteer. We tell the truth when it would be easier not to. We choose decency over cynicism.
Most of it doesn’t make the news cycle, but it makes a difference.
The world is broken, so repair it where you stand. Small acts count. You got this, humanity.
