Trump dangerously rewards Russian aggression in his embrace of Putin, while at the same time, blaming Zelensky in a reversal of facts for the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Observing Trump’s posture, nerves are likely frayed in the capitals of the former Soviet Republics who fear Putin’s desire to restore the old Russian empire, not to mention capitals throughout Europe.

In diversity lies justice, a common humanity and the now fragile hope of a better future. The assumption that only white men in particular and white people in general are capable of ruling society, the state, and the workplace finds little evidence in history. If anything, the opposite conclusion is far easier to draw.

Each of us can break the silence and resist in small as well as big ways.

Neither Elon Musk nor anyone else in the Trump administration is clamoring to defund the Pentagon where the waste and corruption is a poorly kept secret.

Elon Musk isn’t a rogue, a freelancer, a one man show. He is doing the dirty work for someone else. Don’t be fooled and think he’s acting on his own. The leader of this constitutional crisis and power grab resides in the White House, make no mistake about that.
