By PRA Staff

…e international arena stems from a domestic move to pursue “wokeness.” Any policy that fights climate change, enforces public health measures like vaccines, and protects LGBTQ people “disrupts” the military by reducing its numbers in both personnel and resources.

…nning to have, to think outside the box. What should a progressive foreign policy look like? When we say we should ally with countries that share our values, what values, exactly, are we talking about? Whom do those values apply to?

What are the reasons for our support for these policies? How wi…

…s Bradley called The Imperial Cruise. It’s about Teddy Roosevelt’s foreign policy. He has photographs in that book of US soldiers waterboarding Filipinos in 1905. Dan: And they were jailed for it.* Walter: They were jailed for it? Dan: At least some of them were. Because that was illegal. Well, it’s still illegal, but… Walter: But we’ve been at it a while.

…phasized that the “outcome is uncertain” and the final decision whether to change or retain the policy rests with the board. My reaction when I read this article surprised me—my eyes filled with tears. And I realized how I usually suppress feelings about having to be closeted.
