Trump's abduction of Maduro is outrageous, with likely grave international and domestic consequences. It should be resisted. The Congress should insist upon engagement. People ought oppose further threats elsewhere and should urge seeking UN engagement to oversee a free election in Venezuela.

I just watched a hopeful webinar from the New Israel Fund. NIF has long supported democratic and progressive programs in Israel. Recently, that wok has expanded to efforts with Palestinians, in Gaza, the occupied territories, and Israel. For example see:

NIF’s Campaign to Address Humanitarian Needs in Gaza • New Israel Fund
NIF is raising urgent funds to provide humanitarian aid to civilians suffering in Gaza. As people committed to justice and compassion, we have a moral obligation to speak up and act when we see…

Sadly, US President Trump's international interventions are outlandish, but have profound impacts. He attends to personalities and he offers resources as well as well imposes coercion. This bizarre conduct requires attention by constructive conflict researchers.

Trump may be angry about the great wave against him and behave wildly. Yet, it should prompt more efforts to advance democracy, diversity, and equity. Actions at the local level to advance those goals are good. Also, actions in support of existing organizations defending democracy are needed.

Dangerous Time?
The great wave of Democratic votes in the last election will naturally embolden many people who have been resisting the many autocratic, cruel, and ignorant actions taken by Trump. But it may also prompt Trump to be even more revengeful. See next post about advancing democracy now.

This analysis, by Senator Chris Murphy, of the grave move already taken in America away from democracy, is excellent and convincing. It deserves watching and acting to recover the democracy that is being destroyed.

Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker called former President Donald Trump "demented" and "literally unhinged" on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, "

The observation may now be more widely acknowledged.

Adolf Hitler repeatedly and virulently demonized and targeted "enemies within" Germany.
I wonder if President Trump knows that or he does not.

I wonder whether or not President Trump knows that when he attacks "enemies within".

Trump and Trumpism are doomed. More and more Americans are being harmed and offended by his conduct. Better alternatives are increasingly evident.

This statement by J Street about the Israeli-Palestinian relationship deserves support.

Decrying Trump's dictatorial, self-indulging actions is useful, but not enough. Counter actions must be made and celebrated. For example, some local communities manage to sustain programs to generate energy from the sun or wind.

Search on Google: Local solar and wind energy projects.

Evidence has proven that solar and wind applications can provide energy cheaply and counter global warming. So President Biden established many green projects. Trump is overturning them, yielding money to oil companies and diminishing Biden.

See on Google: Trump cuts solar energy projects.

Trump loved the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, when he first was president. He was proud of his love, while Kim Jong-un speedily developed nuclear weapons.
Strangely, Trump admires tyrants like Putin and Kim Jon-n and wants them to like him. Committing assassinations is really admirable.

A Netflix documentary reports on the many times a nuclear war between the US and USSR almost erupted, scary. Also the many CIA interventions abroad are noted --and they were terrible failures, ETC.

There are many non governmental organisations with members of Israeli Jews and Palestinians. For example, The Parents Circle

The threat of nuclear grows as its use is casually discussed.
Actions to reduce the threat should be taken.
