A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

It is not only in war, however, that we fight for freedom. One fights for freedom in personal contacts and in many phases of civilian life. When the war is over, the four freedoms will not have been won, we shall simply have dominated their more aggressive enemies. At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, and freedom from want — for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war. At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom from want — for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1943-04-15), “My Day”

Access to Internet Infrastructure is Essential, in Wartime and Peacetime

We’ve been saying it for 20 years, and it remains true now more than ever: the internet is an essential service. It enables people to build and create communities, shed light on injustices, and acquire vital knowledge that might not otherwise be available. And access to it becomes even more...

A quotation from Dickinson, Lowes:

«
The task of war is to destroy life; the task of peace is to create it; to organize labor so that it shall not incapacitate men for leisure; to establish justice as a foundation for personality; to unfold in men the capacity for noble joy and profound sorrow; to liberate them for the passion of love, the perception of beau…

@GottaLaff

This is something that has always puzzled me... esp. with the 2nd Amendment as background ("well-regulated militia" and all that).

In our lawful #society... #police have a monopoly on the use of force internally (granted a reasonable right to self-defense by citizens, etc.). The #military has the exclusive right to use force externally. The #Founders did not envision a #peacetime army, therefor the #Militia would be made up of #citizen #soldiers, each with their own weapon. With no standing army, it would be up to the Militia to respond to external threats (at least in the short term). This Militia would have to be coordinated by either the States or Federal government.

So how is it we have arms-bearing, private "militias" that are not part of the National Guard or Reserves?!

I think most #Paramilitary activity should be regulated if not severely limited by law. They can always join the Guard or Reserve.

Otherwise they just become an internal threat as we saw on #Jan6.
