Nuclear weapons, & militarized systems of power and dominance that enable & build off of them, are not the result of some predetermined human nature.
Living like this is a choice we have made and that we make daily and that we can change. We can choose differently.

If you go through my other posts, you'll find the other links that list these anti-democracy billionaire donors.
I'm happy to provide them again.

Dear POTUS, The Justice Department, and the FCC. By eliminating the Paramount Decrees, you have made way for the strikes and shutdown of our industry. That was an antiquated antitrust law that held back studios and streamers from forming monopolies. They are now crushing labor because there is no competition—there is no recourse to their demands. Please reinstate or better your antitrust laws for the entertainment industry.
Lewis Wickes Hine photographed oppressive working conditions of thousands of children in the early 20th century. The black-and-white photographs suggest a bygone era – an embarrassing past that many Americans think we’ve left behind.
But with numerous reports of #childlabor violations, many involving #immigrants, and an uptick in state's rolling back the minimum working age – Hine’s work is as relevant as it was a century ago.

#TheHeadCrook is discovered with stolen Israeli Antiquities at his Lair in Florida. Anyone surprised? 🤔
What does it take for this train wreck of a human to not be considered for the most honored elected position in the country? How can we preach to anyone about our National integrity when we appear to have our collective heads up our asses? 🥸
@tuckerteague A reasonable position in this video about religious pluralism. The real problem? It’s when religion turns faith into fact. The secondary issue prominent in the USA among Evangelicals is when Christianity is corrupted for the express purpose of political advantage. When anti-Christian Wolves are embraced because they promise to cater to Christian prejudices. Live and let live? No. Freedom of and from religion? No. A Christian Theocracy? YES. Anti-American? YES. 🤔
I grew up within, and was deeply trained by, a #Christian #religion that negated and demonized the "other." Hard, definite lines had to be draw between us and them (meaning any other religion and even most all other versions of #Christianity). But, this negating and demonizing the "other" is, sadly, common among many religions and religious groups.
As I continue my #spiritual journey of discovery I appreciate the open questions in this clip below of Paul Knitter:

#ThreatenedDemocracy
#EndGame It’s getting real*, the reported threat to the USA if #TheHeadLair is allowed to seize POTUS in 2024 with the #GOP’s help as co-conspirators, a plan to consolidate Presidential power to make #Trump untouchable while attacking all political enemies and obstacles to his rise as Emperor. And you think, I’m exaggerating. 🤔
*Its been real for 30yrs, the downward trajectory of the GOP, as the dominant anti-democracy Political party of the US.
@mguhlin A peak into the brains of the Right Wing- Public Education, what a waste of MY money! Especially when liberals are indoctrinating children about the foundation and corner stones upon which the Nation was founded. They might get some silly ideas in their heads about equality, non-discrimination, election integrity, and equal opportunity for Christ’s Sake! 🤔
@flexghost #AgentOrange’s dark Wonderland visions/self projections might be hilarious if not for the Koolaid drinkers and co-conspirators nodding in approval. The question as usual, how many of them are there? 🤔
