"WindSong" (not their legal name), one of our #adolescent #Youth Peacemakers, talks about #surviving #gun #violence and working towards #peace. We are changing the tide of #harm in our #communities. Just $5 a month at patreon.com/wisdomcommunity helps us uplift true #PublicSafety.

We have a red line. NEVER harm #children (or anyone for that matter). But killing children is not a red line that cannot be crossed for the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, who leads an #AI company that helped murder scores of children in the Iran war. Here he says that's okay.

Protecting and uplifting #children and #youth through #PeaceEducation is central to our mission. This week we continue posting about threats to children's #safety. Today we share a poem by Karim Wafa in which he reminds us that all children, no matter the culture, cry the same.

In Baltimore Black #youth are arrested for riding #DirtBikes and their vehicles are confiscated. But this weekend in D.C. powerful dirt bags featured dirt bikes flying through the air on the White House lawn. Somebody make it all make sense.

Because their brains and bodies are still developing, #children who commit violent, heinous crimes merit longterm in-patient psychiatric care, not imprisonment in America's current criminal injustice system where jails and prisons constitute clear cruel and unusual punishment.

The #ConnSelmer plant's closing in #Ohio adds to America's #manufacturing job losses. The plant's owner is moving jobs to China. Once conservative #RustBelt residents feel betrayed at the down-spiraling, unaffordable economy. How many rivers can be cried before regime change?

Why do we let total sociopathic bigots hoard #trillions in wealth, literally destroy us and our environments, oppress workers, obliterate our healthcare, consolidate power in only a few badly-run companies, mess up our food and water, and play out their weird fantasies on us?!

American #healthcare leaders are intentionally harming us. They are CRIMINALS. Take a life-saving #cancer drug called Revlimid that only cost 25¢ to make. Yet it's $1K a pill and the makers kept generic versions off market for years and killed people. propublica.org/podcast/revli…

This #BlackJoy is what we need this #weekend!

Tonight we meditate on the #children needlessly killed in #war, our world's gravest threat to #peace. UNICEF says that almost 1,000 children have been killed after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran despite Iran never attacking them first, and at least 245 children have been killed in Lebanon.

"Why are so many people #corrupt?" one of our #youth asked this morning. It's devastating when a young person discovers society's injustices. From Shakespeare's Sonnet 94: "For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds."

Just be your #beautiful, #peaceful self and don't worry about what others think about you.

#Visualize a #peaceful #waterfall cascading down in the #forest through the lush green #trees as you #meditate and #relax before falling asleep this evening.

BEFORE YOU BOARD YOUR NEXT FLIGHT READ THIS A former airline captain named John Hoyte reached out to me recently. He spent nearly 30 years flying commercial aircraft, developed serious neurological damage, lost his career, and has been trying to get this story properly investigated ever since. He sent me documents spanning two decades. The scale of what is in them is HUGE. What he shared includes parliamentary records, a 320-page published report from the British pilots union, @BBC coverage, House of Lords testimony, and active litigation in multiple countries. This has been heard at the highest levels. It has largely been buried. Most commercial jet aircraft use a system called bleed air. Instead of drawing fresh air from outside, the plane takes compressed air directly from the engines and pumps it into the cabin. That is the air you breathe for the entire flight. When engine seals wear down, oil and hydraulic fluid can leak into that air supply. Those fluids contain organophosphates, the same compounds found in certain pesticides and nerve agents. Inhaling them can cause neurological damage, memory loss, and chronic fatigue. In documented cases, far worse. This design has been in use since the 1950s. The health risk has been documented for just as long. In 2005, @BALPApilots, the British pilots union, published a full conference report on this with the University of New South Wales. The following year, 27 BALPA pilots were tested by University College London. All 27 showed evidence of toxic poisoning and reduced cognitive function. Not some of them. All of them. @BBCPanorama covered it in 2008. The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee heard evidence on it in 2007 and 2008. In February 2007, 40 unrelated passengers on a single XL Airways flight were seriously injured by contaminated cabin air. Their cases went to court. Twenty of them won a US jurisdiction ruling in 2010. A UK coroner recorded a death linked to this in 2015. France has formally recognised aerotoxic syndrome as an occupational disease. In the US, a law professor is suing Boeing for $40 million after a single exposure left him permanently injured. Morgan & Morgan, America's largest personal injury firm, is now actively taking mass cases on behalf of passengers and crew. John himself was one of those 27 pilots tested by UCL. He founded the Aerotoxic Association in 2007 at the Houses of Parliament to support other survivors. He has been fighting for this for nearly 20 years. Almost every commercial jet aircraft except the Boeing 787 Dreamliner uses the bleed air system. The 787 uses a different design that avoids this problem entirely. That safer design has existed for years. That fact alone says everything. BBC has not covered this story since 2020. The UK Civil Aviation Authority continues to say there is no positive evidence of a link. The Aerotoxic Association has been contacted by more than 2,500 people who believe they have been affected. John is looking for mainstream investigative journalists who want to dig deep into this. He is an expert witness with decades of evidence and is willing to answer every question. He has a passenger injured on that 2007 flight, Samantha Sabatino, whose case is in the parliamentary record. This is a genuine story of enormous public interest and it deserves proper investigation. If you are a journalist or researcher and want to speak to John directly, his contact details are in the comments. I will add media coverage links in the comments section.

O que rolou com a indústria de abridores de lata? Todos esses são mil vezes melhores dos que vendem hoje em dia.

Why can't all #PublicTransportation in the U.S. be 100% free as in European cities like Luxembourg, as Joris Lechene discovered firsthand in his very wise, enlightening video?

From the earliest possible age, what if everyone were taught (and then continuously retaught across our lives) how to #peacefully manage, #mediate, and resolve #conflicts? wisdomprojects.org/mediation

Take a moment and #read this please.

Buried in a DOJ court filing on Friday is the part of this story that hasn't gotten enough attention. The Department of Homeland Security is now exploring coordinating with the USPS to monitor mail-in ballot flows, identify anomalies, and generate "authorized investigative leads." The postal service - created by Congress as an independent entity - is being evaluated as a surveillance and investigation tool for federal law enforcement, applied specifically to Americans who vote by mail. That is a separate track from the voter eligibility list story. Both are running simultaneously. The March 31 executive order requires states to submit lists of voters who have requested absentee ballots for federal eligibility approval before those ballots can be sent. On May 29, USPS began drafting compliance plans. Election officials in California and Wisconsin have already documented slower ballot delivery times since the policy changes began. The NAACP sued Thursday, arguing the new rule violates a 2021 court-enforced settlement in which USPS agreed to protect mail-in voting and prioritize timely ballot delivery through 2028 - a binding legal commitment the agency is now moving to undermine. A federal judge in a separate case has expressed being "very concerned" about the harm the order could impose on voters. The American Postal Workers Union's statement named what this actually is: "The Postal Service serves all Americans - regardless of party, religion, or race. It is not a tool for politicians to pick which Americans get which benefits." That sentence is a legal argument and a civic one. The postal workers who sort and deliver ballots in Elkhart and Fort Wayne and rural Hamilton County are being asked to participate in a process their own union has called unconstitutional. That matters.
