Women are used to being told we’re crazy to think what we think. In fact that’s a form of oppression too; patriarchy & all of that. But it’s important to keep it all in perspective: People are good, we’re all doing our best & it’s possible to rise above. Love is all that counts.

Well, if you tell someone they’re just delusional to believe what they believe then that certainly ends any possibility of intellectual debate. Had hoped for better. 😔

I don’t think it’s a distorted truth.They are simply the principles In the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The evils of slavery and oppression don’t make those other things not true. I agree about the 2nd class citizenship, but those principles are WHY I agree.

All personal and societal transformation involves the audacity to admit what it is we really want. We get so used to fighting for crumbs when what we should be doing is proclaiming what’s true: that what we really want is a peaceful, healthy world - and then work back from there.

America was not founded on those things. The things you mentioned were a repudiation of the principles we were founded on. It is those atrocities which were unAmerican; our national repair - Abolition, Suffrage, Civil Right’s etc - is always a reclaiming of what is truly American

I don’t agree with that. It as legitimate to argue something based on religious principle as it is to argue something based on scientific principle. Our constitution wasn’t based on science either but it still has relevance.

The goal of all domestic and international policy should be the amelioration of unnecessary human suffering. The creative spirit and unmined gold within billions of human beings would then burst to the surface, uplift all economies and save the world.

Yes it will. Americans are sometimes slow to wake up to things, but once we do we slam it like nobody’s business.

This IS a new Trail of Tears. That is not hyperbole. And when Speaker Paul Ryan was asked if he had a problem with separating small children from their parents, he responded, "No, I do not." I cannot wait for Nov. 6. I cannot wait I cannot wait I cannot wait.

Shenanigans are possible in every state. Prepare! Not too early to make sure you’re registered to vote, preferably so you can do early voting by mail if you wish. November not all that far away. Primary results so far show Republican candidates will be more, not less, pro-Trump.

YES!
Actually, #NetNeutrality is repealed but fight to save it very much alive. We won the Senate. The vote using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reinstate it is in the House. We need to get *all* the Dems + 25 GOP to sign on. So *call* your reps. Visit

Everywhere I go, I meet people who have made their way through substantial obstacles to get to where they are today. Now we’re placed where we need to be to make a huge and extraordinary difference in the world. We just need enough of us in some small way to commit to step it up.

“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” - Aeschylus, Greek playwright, 525 BC -456 BC
