I'm reminded of these wise words from Mr. Fred Rogers on what would have been his 98th birthday. We are all in this together. Let's renew ourselves to the fight for the common good. It's all the more important during these difficult times.

Video of Trump backing out of the Iran Deal in 2018. The deal would have allowed inspections to ensure that Iran wouldn’t develop nuclear weapons. Trump failed to get a new deal and has now announced a new and potential forever war with Iran.
