@ 4 hrs 16 mins, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia gave an impassioned call to carry on Jesse Jackson's legacy. He starts w biodiversity of Colombia & relates it to humankind's diversity as a prerequisite for survival & freedom. How New Year's celebration turned to bombs in Venezuela, & now...
Our leaders have the vision, foresight and humanity of feral hogs, trampling and shredding international law. Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg, Vance belong at the Hague. For this, for extrajudicial killings of fishermen, for concentration camps, for Gaza, for schoolgirls in Iran.
...the bombs have moved to Iran. How those who try to kill human diversity automatically become fascists. He wakes up every morning & it feels like 1933 Europe, but the fascism is spreading worldwide, & how he hopes Jesse Jackson's spirit/energy will help world's young people rise up for freedom. ❤️

If you need inspiration, Rev Jesse Jackson's funeral has many wonderful speakers that together give a history lesson of the civil rights movement, PUSH/Rainbow Coalition, Jesse Jackson's international work. Civil rights icons talking about today's fascism & how to fight it. Beautiful music. 🌈🕊❤️
They are murdering civilians on the high seas.
They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷.
They are murdering civilians in concentration camps.
They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities.
These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

Trump, Kushner, Putin, Netanyahu, Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg & their enablers have started World War 3. US leadership is untethered from humanity. Ditto for Israeli & Russian leadership. 💔
Article 28:
"Everyone is entitled to a social & international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized."

This was written after the bottomless horrors of World War 2 to prevent what is happening now. US, Russia and Israel must stop their illegal invasions, war crimes, crimes against humanity, trafficking, genocide.
Notably absent from list: their fearless leader, Chuck Schumer!
... by destroying what's left of it.
Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov: “Netanyahu said the other day that he's been waiting 40 years to get to this point. It took him 40 years to find an American president who is stupid enough to drag America into this war.”

What decent human on earth would condone treating oneself to what belongs to others simply because one has a bigger gun? What parent would teach their kids to live by this rule? What normal person would brag about it to boot?
Netanyahu cares about his people as much as Putin cares about the hundreds of thousands of Russians he sent to be killed for him as much as Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg care about you & me.
"A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game — it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day. Six U.S. soldiers have been killed."
Hegseth should contemplate the words of Archbishop of Chicago: "Real war with real death and real suffering being treated like a video game — it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made fatal mistake of going to school"
Partnering with a state that half of Americans say committed genocide, to use a superpower's ruinous might to kill hundreds, including children, and bring suffering to millions, unprovoked - with some invoking the name Jesus whose core message was love & compassion.

A man with psychopathic symptoms, wielding more destructive power than any human ever has, is wreaking unjustified death and ruination across an expanding chunk of the globe - all in our name, as we watch helplessly in horror and despair.
"Israel's strikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots went far beyond what US expected when Israel notified it in advance, sparking first significant disagreement between the allies." Not clear how big a rift this is, but Israeli and US interests aren't identical. www.axios.com/2026/03/08/u...
Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei is the new Iranian Supreme Leader. In addition to losing his father, he also lost his mother, wife, and son in the Israeli bombing.
Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

Green is also the color of the Latin American reproductive rights/abortion rights movement. We can learn a lot from Latin American women who united across a very broad coalition tying economic rights, freedom from violence, lgbtq+ rights, to abortion rights.

Rev. Hayes says attempts to erase Black history are because Black history shows a uniquely American blueprint for how to resist fascism, what happens next, how to get out of it.
This dovetails w @michaelharriot.bsky.social upcoming book using lessons of Black people to show how to defeat tyranny.
We will never have free & fair presidential elections in US if Putin agent Manafort remains closely involved. Trump likely lost in 2020 because Manafort was in prison. Trump refuses to believe he couldn't win without Manafort's cheating. Pres Carter said Trump wasn't a legit potus because of Russia.
