Defending democracy requires courageous integrity. Danes for example put themselves at risk to save Jewish lives during WWII. Teachers and librarians courageously resisting fascism need ALL of us to have their backs against GOP's thought police.

1/4🧵The Trump family's linkage w/an Iranian Revolutionary Guard via an oligarch is old news. I was employed with a corp due diligence firm in NYC at the time and a case we were working overlapped with Trump's scheme.

2/4 Bottom line is Trump has financial entanglements with despotic regimes in Russia and Iran. Iran has provided Russia with military parts and logistical support against Ukraine.

In 2017, as POTUS, Trump gave intel about Israel's Iron Dome to Russia.

3/4 Russia passed on the intel to Iran and they shared it with their Hamas and Hezbollah proxies. Meanwhile, Netanyahu was paying money to Hamas to avoid a two state solution with the Palestinians.

Yes, folks all countries and societies absolutely have "enemies within." Image

🧵Content below is my opinion and is my last essay thread before 11/5 as I am strategically prioritizing real activism.

1/ I plea with my fellow citizens to not let their kids become like Germany's "Silent Generation."

2/ Silent Generation was born between 1928-1945.

In America, for many GenXers like me, these were our parents who were young children during the Great Depression and WWII. They were too young to be the "Greatest Generation" nor were they the attention seeking Baby Boomers.
3/ Silent Generation Americans fought in Korea. They didn't return home to parades like the Greatest Generation WWII vets nor was there rampant social strife as occurred with Boomers during Vietnam.

In Germany, Silent Generation counterparts had a very different experience.

🧵*Content below is my opinion.

1/ "I've lived it before," she said to me this morning. "No matter what happens this election the whole lot of them plan to kill us."

It was after sabbath services.

2/ Truth is I needed a spiritual break from politics. I hadn't attended synagogue in weeks. My Financial Crimes Compliance job has been intense and I've prioritized activism over Shabbat.

But even activists with Vulcan avatars posting on toxic social media platforms are human.
3/ The one year anniversary of 10/7 is coming. It's also the season of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

It is a season of both aspirational renewal as we celebrate a new year as well as self-reflection and atonement about how to become a better person.

So I went this morning.

1/ We now live in a world in which our mobile communication devices can be instruments of assassination. Meanwhile, SCOTUS ruled presidents have criminal immunity.

2/ Let that sink in.

As Israel's Mossad recently demonstrated, even lower tech pocket pagers can be made to explode and kill its targets.

I certainly do not sympathize with Hezbollah terrorist murderers being killed.

But guess what? Technology now makes ALL of us vulnerable.
3/ Nearly all of us rely on smart phones. They're not just a luxury anymore.

Many of us like myself, have to be easily accessible 24/7 both professionally and personally.

So what if a depraved autocrat wannabe with dementia has the power to assassinate any of us via our phones?

🧵*Content below is my opinion.

1/ United States of America collectively is suffering from generations of PTSD. As a nation we are simultaneously the cause as well as victims of self-inflicted terror.

#ProudBlueEditorials

2/ Within individuals, PTSD may stem from a continuing family history of alcoholism or spousal/parental/child abuse over generations.

If not family related, other causes such as sex predators, horrorific experiences from military combat or surviving a random catastrophic event.
3/ Those with PTSD are often not aware how it impacts their lives, social interactions or choices they make. Victims may be regulated by constant fear or violently triggered from sights, sounds, odors or even sitting in a dentist chair.

🧵*Content below is my opinion.

1/ I was 13 when I became an activist in the early 1980s. Sadly, as a kid, I quickly learned to fear houses hanging American flags.

Invariably, they were hostile to any issue I cared about.

2/ This confused me as it was Democrat and liberal, John F. Kennedy that challenged us to, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

What's forgotten about that iconic line is how JFK linked patriotism to freedom.
3/ Twenty years prior to JFK's inaugural, Democrat and liberal, Franklin Roosevelt defined his vision of American patriotic values in his "Four Freedoms" speech (see below).

He delivered that speech eleven months prior to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Image
