A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 7 “The War of America the Unready” (1913)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/6…

Only a couple people on this platform that I know would recognize this door mat as lyrics. Here’s to life!
Is it true it’s always happy hour here?
If it is I’d like to stay a while -
#Trump’s Most Dangerous Executive Order
Trump’s recent order calls for the #NationalGuard to have a standing force ready for “quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety.”
By Radley Balko, September 6, 2025
"This appears to be enacting a Pentagon blueprint The Washington Post reported on last month. It calls for a force of 600 soldiers to be ready for deployment anywhere in the country on Trump’s command. That plan indicated the force would be used to quell protests or civil unrest. That it’s tucked into an executive order purporting to tackle common crime suggests Trump is expanding the idea.
"The plan sets off so many alarms that it’s hard to know where to begin."

Rudolf Gwalther, Swiss reformer, on Paul telling Corinthian Christians to help not only their own poor but also those in Jerusalem.
Today I read a news story where someone invoked “help our own poor first” as a reason to be upset about immigrants (workers who had reported to staff an Amazon maquiladora). What would Gwalther do? WWGD?
How can you provide for poor not only locally, but far away as well?

Highly recommended: Conversation among Palestinian and Israeli #Peacemakers. TBH It's mostly depressing, but they offer perspectives that I haven't heard elsewhere. "Where is the war inside of me?" #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #CeasefireNow #ZenPeacemakers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMul8-8enyU

This very much resonates with what drives my work and our passions.
"The planet DOESN'T need more "successful" people. The planet desperately NEEDS more #peacemakers, #healers, #restorers, #storytellers and #lovers of all kinds ... and more #kindness."
