Future Ages Are Depending on Us! [1]

Donald Trump’s ascension to power jeopardizes all ages to come.
His assault upon our Constitution, his utter disregard for the rule of law, are mortal threats to our democracy.
His unprovoked destruction of the rule based international order, along with the system of alliances which have underpinned it for the past 80 years, are throwing the international system into chaos.
His utter disregard for the ecological well-being of the planetary ecosystem at the expense of short-term profit for a few, threaten to unleash climatic chaos, and ecosystem collapse upon the entire web of life on which we, and all life, on this world, depend.
In all the ages since our distant forbearers first set foot upon the plains of East Africa, no greater calamity has arisen.
This is not a hyperbolic assertion! Because of our development of advanced technologies, the stability of the planetary climate system for hundreds of thousands of years into the future, hinges upon what we do in the immediate future. The stability of the international system hinges upon the behavior of the nation-state which is central to the existence of today’s rule-based international order. The behavior of that nation state—America—hinges upon whether the present Trump regime is able to consolidate its fascist agenda.
Viewed from the perspective of all the Ages which are yet to come, THIS is the decisive moment upon which all that is yet to unfold, throughout all future ages, depends upon us for its very existence.
If we fail to abort the unfolding atrocity which is Donald Trump, we shall have failed humanity and life itself, likely dooming all to a dismal, bleak, impoverished existence—or perhaps to nonexistence.
We MUST rise and seize the initiative! Now is not the time for hesitation, for timidity, for cowardice. Stand up and FIGHT!
All that will ever be, futures yet unborn, depend upon us in the here and now.
Today, April 5th, 2025, was a great start to our asserting ourselves, and a democratic, livable, sustainable future. Over THREE MILLION of us took to the streets! Let’s remember the magnitude of what’s at stake, and keep it up!
Imagine people 100, 500, 1,000, even 20,000 years in the future looking back on us today. We have a deep obligation to them to bequeath to them a decent future!
