#PeaceMaking
3/ 'Direct Action Z' says that Trump's efforts to make peace in Ukraine are effectively over:

"For us, this means that Trump will be more focused on domestic politics and power struggles with the Democrats. All peacemaking efforts will take a backseat."

The peacemaking Minnesotans I met had such clarity and hope. They absolutely believed we can solve our problems and protect each other.

Paying Moscow a transit fee and a gas bill to stop a war it started is not peacemaking, its a protection racket with a ribbon. Europe spent four years cutting that cord. Washington is now asking it to plug back in.

no interest in diplomacy or peacemaking. Witkoff apparently thought he was bolstering his position as a negotiator by putting this out there. But to the contrary, he comes across as self-interested, mercenary and an abysmally bas negotiator.

Zelenskyy is stating the floor, not a bargaining position. Any table that redraws Ukraines borders or freezes its future without Kyiv in the chair isnt peacemaking, its the old imperial habit of pricing someone elses country. That habit began the war.

🥴 Peskov: We are not yet aware that the 🇪🇺EU is pursuing any kind of peacemaking stance. The EU is pursuing a provocative stance aimed at further fueling and prolonging the war.

We don't need such participants. And it's unlikely that 🇺🇸Americans, who are trying to achieve peace, need them.

"Whether Election Day leaves you relieved, grieving, or exhausted, voting was never the end of the story."

"Today, we go inside the inner workings of [FCNL] to meet the advocates dedicating their lives to a better world."

Thank you @theequaker.bsky.social for covering our work for peace + justice!
Quaker Peacemaking in Washington
Step away from the Election Day noise to go inside the inner workings of the Friends Committee on National Legislation, where advocates carry fierce Quaker convictions straight into the halls of power...

To be honest, that comment struck me as shitstirring rather than peacemaking, but since I had nothing but vague vibes to support it I didn’t think it was worth enquiring further. I could have got entirely the wrong impression.

Carter left the White House at 56 following a single, difficult term. He spent the next 44 years working on global health and peacemaking through the Carter Center, and in 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

These pundits are obsessed with the tailored messaging of the upset races and not what drove turnout. Accountability, not reconciliation. People want the energy that built the wave. Not bullshit peacemaking. It's too late. The job is to rebuild, expose the criminals to history, and make examples.

Israel keeps pointing to Hamas and others' statements or platforms saying the country shouldn't exist as if that totally justifies not engaging or beginning peacemaking. I, personally, am not remotely moved or impressed by that.
I keep asking if the Arab Lists parties have backed off of their "dissolve Israel" platform (the stated reason nobody else will ally with them) and have yet to get any concrete answer, much less an accurate one.

Awwthekanon:
It hurts to watch complex global tragedies reduced to snappy soundbites and television loyalty tests instead of genuine peacemaking.

Apart from the peacemaking attempt, they had not unblocked him during the Witch Wars, during the […]

Hmm. Surely the route of peacemaking is through statesmanship and negotiation?

Or do you only approve of war as the only solution?

Threatening a NATO member with a strike while collecting a peace prize. The Russian offer boils down to war as diplomacy and extortion as peacemaking. Norway should read it as a recruiting poster for expanded air defense.
