Trump’s “efficiency” playbook:
Cut veterans. Fire peacebuilders. Slash education.
But $85 million in taxpayer cash for golf at his own resorts?
That’s not government—it’s grift in a golf cart.

It is with deep sadness that we heard of the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington. We have sent our condolences to Jewish communities in the UK.
All life is precious and violence is never acceptable. Attacks like these create fear and undermine the work of peacebuilders.

let me follow with an observation from peacebuilders and scholars of Peacebuilding: enduring peace and safety for people lives in little acts, in the small habits of daily life that build safety and care for others. these often take profound bravery but require no bravado.
It’s amazing to me, & something I observe in my book, that the advice of actual activists like Grace Lee Boggs, below, via @prisonculture.bsky.social, sounds so little like the revolutionary action-fantasies expressed in (mostly male) social media posts & much more like the plot of Middlemarch
“We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness. In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of critical mass. It’s always about critical connections.”

Feminist foreign policies talk equality, but local feminist peacebuilders still face donor scepticism, unstable funding & political pushback.
Without structural change, FFPs risk perpetuating the problems they claim to solve.
