www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vei... This analysis, by Senator Chris Murphy, of the grave move already taken in America away from democracy, is excellent and convincing. It deserves watching and acting to recover the democracy that is being destroyed.

Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker called former President Donald Trump "demented" and "literally unhinged" on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, " The observation may now be more widely acknowledged.

Adolf Hitler repeatedly and virulently demonized and targeted "enemies within" Germany. I wonder if President Trump knows that or he does not.

Hitler repeatedly and virulently demonized and targeted "enemies within" Germany. I wonder whether or not President Trump knows that when he attacks "enemies within".

Trump and Trumpism are doomed. More and more Americans are being harmed and offended by his conduct. Better alternatives are increasingly evident. See brief blog in my blogs on my website: lkriesbe.expressions.syr.edu

Jeremy Ben-Ami, J Street <[email protected]> This statement by J Street about the Israeli-Palestinian relationship deserves support.

Decrying Trump's dictatorial, self-indulging actions is useful, but not enough. Counter actions must be made and celebrated. For example, some local communities manage to sustain programs to generate energy from the sun or wind. Search on Google: Local solar and wind energy projects.

Evidence has proven that solar and wind applications can provide energy cheaply and counter global warming. So President Biden established many green projects. Trump is overturning them, yielding money to oil companies and diminishing Biden. See on Google: Trump cuts solar energy projects.

Here is link to love with North Korean president, while North Korea developed nuclear weapon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_k0...

Trump loved the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, when he first was president. He was proud of his love, while Kim Jong-un speedily developed nuclear weapons. Strangely, Trump admires tyrants like Putin and Kim Jon-n and wants them to like him. Committing assassinations is really admirable.

A Netflix documentary reports on the many times a nuclear war between the US and USSR almost erupted, scary. Also the many CIA interventions abroad are noted --and they were terrible failures, ETC. Title: Turning Point 9 episodes.

There are many non governmental organisations with members of Israeli Jews and Palestinians. For example, The Parents Circle Take a look <[email protected]>

The threat of nuclear grows as its use is casually discussed. Actions to reduce the threat should be taken. See link below. Nuclear Threat Watch @ Win Without War <[email protected]>

July 17, demonstrations across the country were held., celebrating John Lewis. See: goodtroubleliveson.org But the New York Times fails to report them!! How come??? Lou

The National Climate Assessment (NCA) has been congressionally mandated to make reports that show how climate change threatens Americans’ health. But now NASA will not issue such. reports The Trump administration dismantled the globalchange.gov portal. Protest to restore those reports.

The large vote for Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York city spurs cooperation between progressive Jewish Zionists and supporters of non-Jews who support a Palestinian state and a Jewish state along each other. For example, check out the J-Street organization on the internet.

Global warming can be stopped, even reversed. See what is being done by Brian von Herzen. Ph.D. and others. Simply search for them.

@r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awrihft... The Democrats say "We won't go back." but that's not enough. We should be about the future. There is a future for cheap energy and food in the oceans! See the link. leahgreenberg.bsky.social

Rachel Maddow provides wonderful reporting on MSNBC and here about the widespread protests against the firing of government officials and about the nationwide resistance to the cruel treatment of immigrants by untrained persons. Why is that not more fully reported by The New Yor Times???

Trump's foreign policy doctrine likens the early Cold War days. The Soviet Union in a non-Marxist fashion sought to impose Communist rule in underdeveloped countries. While the US fostered more economic development, leading to a democratic political structure ..a sort of Marxist perspective…..

Life expectancy in the U.S is less than in many other "advanced" countries. For example, in the U,S, in 2020 life expectancy was 76.98 years. In Canada it was 81.66, in Switzerland 83.50, and Japan 84.56. Not a time to cut public heath programs and embrace unsubstantiated medical practices here.

Roger Fisher and William Ury wrote a very popular book, Getting to Yes, explaining how to negotiate agreements without giving in. Mutual gains could be realized. President Trump thinks only of one side, his, winning and the other side loses. He uses only coercion, generating destructive conflicts.

Rachel Maddow's regular reports about the growing protests against MAGA's destructive actions are important and deserve attention and follow up. Also. see my link to my relevant blogs and links. lkriesbe.expressions.syr.edu/op-eds/s. Lou

There is an infinity of terrible consequences of Trump's actions. Many are related to destroying a factual history, cutting out tragic actions and also major improvements in social relations.

The protests against Musk, tariffs, cutting government services, etc. may be the beginning of a new social movement. It may be called The New Peoples Movement, or the New Democracy Movement.

YES. This is important. Such events are needed.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

As a former instructor at Columbia University (1953-1956) and a long history in writing about conflict resolution, I am disappointed that Columbia University bent its knee to Trump. @columbiauniversity.bsky.social
