“Nonviolent movements succeed by strategically pressuring the pillars of support for an injustice to withhold or withdraw things like information, cooperation, funding, labor and more.” @wagingnonviolence.org @riverasun.bsky.social wagingnonviolence.org/2026/01/10-r...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

From Iranians' human chains around power plants to Pope Leo's Holy Week messages on peace and nonviolence, it's been quite a week in Nonviolence News. nonviolencenews.org/2026/04/11/a...

Hungarians are voting to get rid of their authoritarian president tomorrow. I send them solidarity. (Also, Vance and Trump have been stumping for Orban. It's backfiring and sinking Orban's polling numbers.)

It’s always great to see malicious compliance especially from government officials opposing human rights violations

Nice to know that what I stand on stands for what I stand for. Public lands belong to all of us. Stop the looting by the Trump administration. No privatization.

There should be campaign contribution caps. Every person can only donate as much as the poorest person in the US. So, $5 or $20 to a candidate of your choice in any particular race. That's it. Along with 1 person, 1 vote, this would go a long way to end oligarchy (rule of the rich for the rich).

Good work, people.

Poliviere might have a few things to say about the value of an endorsement from Trump.

Pope Leo XIV, this week, on the threat to destroy Iran. This is the moment to act. Contact your political representatives — call, write, show up — and tell them: not in our name. #NoWarOnIran #RejectWar #PaceEBene

Undermine his support. Where can you help?

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

If there were ever a time to invoke the 25th amendment it would be now. Donald Trump has threatened Iran with genocide. This has to end! credits: @nowthisimpact

#ImpeachConvictRemove Today's reason #2 (after 'he's insane'): #warcrimes

#ImpeachConvictRemove Today's reason: he's insane.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

It is possible to nonviolently overthrow a dictator. Dozens of other countries have done it. Watch this film about how the Serbs ousted Slobodan Milosevic in 2000. @civilresistance.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dN...

This. #ImpeachConvictRemove

This week, a set of stories involving hugs, nurses, nuns, art, clowns, and windmills has us thinking a little differently about what nonviolence looks like. Enjoy! nonviolencenews.org/2026/04/04/a...

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Get this right, SCOTUS ... don't make the Boss hold a mass rally to sing "Born In the USA" in front of the courthouse. www.scotusblog.com/2026/04/supr...

Puts a new spin on 'being judgy". I like this kind of being judgy.

Yes!

Just say NO to detention centers. ICE is incompetent and dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to expand their operations. #AbolishICE

The power of the protest does not end at the end of the march. Thanks to @riverasun.bsky.social

Just a reminder from some informed people.

On Earth Day (April 22) or Earth Week (April 18-26), we invite you to host a Solutions Circle and bring hopeful, inspiring, and actionable stories of #environmental solutions to your community. paceebene.org/earth-day-2026 #EarthDay #environment #climatejustice #earth #ecological

What does it actually look like for a town to declare itself nonviolent — not as a slogan, but as a public and collective commitment? Join us on April 1 to find out. paceebene.org/events/2026/... #nonviolence

Yes!!!!

We all know about Avelo, Hilton and Target, but there are many more companies that enable ICE, some perhaps extremely vulnerable to public pressure. Kick out the pillars of support one by one and this murderous regime will fall. @mapthepower.bsky.social littlesis.org/news/six-ste...

For folks in Atlanta, please join in a rally for fired public health workers tomorrow to recognize the April 1st anniversary of the firing of hundreds of CDC staff.

Wow! 8 million people at #NoKings on March 28! That's just the start of the good news in this week's #Nonviolence News round-up. From #flotilla to #Cuba to #debtabolition to a 40-day #labor #strike, there's a lot going on. Check it out: nonviolencenews.org/2026/03/29/m...

This is the only use of a leaf blower that I actually approve of.
