It's not enough for us to think in terms of being good people; we must think in terms of being a good country...

My friend @arielleford had everyone at the table at a family reunion get on their iPhones and help me get to the DNC debate stage. Love that everyone at the table was donating at the same time! So grateful for the energy coming my way & I hope you feel I’m living up to it

Tonight is the first FEC filing deadline for the presidential campaigns. If you agree with the things my campaign stands for, please take a moment to donate. When you push the “Submit” button, say “Heck yeah!”secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

2) “Experienced politicians” led us into Iraq. Experienced politicians led us to where we are. We need political vision more than a political mechanic. The best car mechanic doesn’t necessarily know the road to Boston. FDR said the primary job of the president is moral leadership

1) Considering those whose political filter got us into the ditch as the only serious contenders for getting us out of the ditch seems silly to me. And if you think 2 terms as a Congressman gives you the "experience" to govern a nation, you don't know what Congressmen do all day.

Be very clear. To such as these, a $270M fine is basically chump change; nothing more than the cost of doing business. The American people should not be fooled into thinking that justice has yet been done here. Pharmaceutical companies should be saving lives, not destroying them.
This is a step in the right direction, but $270 million doesn't even come close to atoning for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from the opioid crisis thanks to greed-driven companies like Purdue Pharma, led by the Sackler family. washingtonpost.com/national/…

A principle of restorative justice is where there's been injustice, justice must be done to mitigate its damage. Wars in both Viet Nam & Iraq were wrongly waged -- trangression however unintentional against our soldiers as well as others. So USA should now become a wager of peace

Actually, in this case we should not see it as the norm, or something to be expected. We saw all of the Ken Starr report on Clinton and we should see all of this one too.

Private detention centers at the border, like private prisons, are ways that billions of dollars are made by turning human suffering into a profit center. They even lack the mandatory standards that US prisons must meet.Their very existence is a transgression against our values.

ACIM says the Holy Spirit speaks to each of us. HS doesn't tell you what I'm supposed to do with my life, nor send you to judge, humiliate or mock me for what i feel to be the calling of my heart. Your trying to pretend that HS or ACIM leads you judge & attack me is preposterous.
