The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

“Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Donald Trump’s second term.” Gift article: wapo.st/40d1rzS

We can't be passive actors in a world where policy is dictated by tech moguls.

Harmful algorithms should be turned off by default, and prohibited for accounts held by people under the age of 18.

Americans are stranded abroad — we all have a responsibility to do everything in our power to safely get them home.

The federal government must immediately provide clear evacuation guidance and plans to leave the region.

I’m calling on the State Department to take action now.

ARTICLE AUG 19, 2024 Project 2025 Will Undermine America's National Security The far-right policy proposals in Project 2025 will fundamentally undermine the national and economic security of the United States, benefiting its adversaries and making all Americans less safe.

On Iran, Project 2025 advocates a markedly more confrontational stance, denigrating diplomacy and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in favor of barely veiled advocacy for regime change.
The document outlines a new security architecture in the Middle East that builds on the Abraham Accords but undermines those efforts by deliberately making no mention of the Palestinian people and promising to defund the Palestinian Authority—a sabotage of any hopes for a Palestinian state. As the past year has tragically demonstrated, continued neglect of the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will only benefit Iranian proxy recruitment efforts and risk continued violence, including attacks on American troops and installations.

Project 2025 laid it out.

This admin believes “end of times” is real, and they’re in such a hurry they’re fine with putting the wheels in motion, even creating problems—like moving the world closer to a nuclear war.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.
