Thank you Diane! I wish I had been in DC to attend this event, but your description of it brings it to life for me. So glad to see many bridges built and focus on our common adversary, the war-mongering structures that try to divide and distract us. And thank you for drawing the vivid parallels between the Ukraine war propaganda and Covid propaganda, between this RATWM rally of this year and the Defeat the Mandates rally of last year.

What a wonderful opportunity to reunite ALL Americans. We blew it with the pandemic by allowing our government to make it into a political situation when it was never about politics. It was about LIFE. The same holds true for war. Let's not make that same mistake. Now is the time to finally unite for PEACE.

Really excellent article, Diane .... and not just because you quote from me!!! Can't believe you were at the Tabard Inn after-party -- so was I !! Maybe we nodded hellos, without knowing each other or ever having met. Throughout my life, I've found that the best new friends meet in the course of fighting for something larger than themselves, like trying to stop the coming nuclear holocaust.
