This country shouldn’t be run like a business, it should be run like a family. First we should take care of our children & older people, making sure they have everything they need to thrive. Everything else would then heal itself from there. Moral repair precedes societal repair.

The vulnerabilities, challenges and chronic trauma of millions of American children should be recognized as a social justice issue. An economic system with no particular use for children - or for older people - has left both groups underserved.

The political establishment has simply normalized the despair of millions of American children who are chronically traumatized by poverty, hunger, and all manner of violence. This is what happens when government becomes more an instrument of corporate profits then of conscience.

13 million children are hungry in America. Yet most politicians do not even talk about it. Children aren’t old enough to vote, nor old enough to work therefore they have no financial leverage. They’re not old enough to advocate for themselves. That’s our job.

Representative John Lewis is an iconic voice of the American conscience. I’m praying for his healing and comfort at this difficult hour.

A state of perpetual war is a societally dysfunctional, even malfunctional reality. To talk about it is upsetting, yes, but it’s sometimes a sign of mental health to be upset; it means you’re registering that something is wrong. marianne2020.com/posts/peace…

Perpetual war is not a solution; it’s a problem for which we must find a solution. It’s not naive to think love is the answer. What’s naive is to think war is the answer.

We’re not a Christian or Jewish or Muslim nation; we’re a religiously pluralistic nation in which everyone is free to worship however they want or whether or not they want to at all. Millions have come to this country to escape religious persecution and we will not be going back!

Our casualness about war will not just come back to haunt us; if uncorrected, it will come back to kill us. Just as diseases in the body must be healed, our too easy acquiescence to endless war must be healed as well. nitter.vloup.ch/victoreeah/statu…

Anti-Semitism is an ancient malevolent force that has no place in our hearts or in our country. Let’s each of us commit with our words and with our actions to its eradication. Wherever it appears, may it be strongly challenged. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…

I get your point. The power of empire is never sustainable because it’s not natural. But the power of democracy is not only natural, it’s a shining light for other nations as well. American democracy, although never perfect, has been and should continue to be a force for good.

When I talk about America going down, I don’t mean the prospect of post-empire. I mean the prospect of post-democracy.

“Even people all over the world who are rolling their eyes about us know that the world will not be better off if America goes down. Nothing any of us can ever do with our lives is more important than how we show up for this moment.”youtube.com/watch?v=XW8N6TrB…

When a humanitarian bottom line replaces an economic bottom line, both the state of our economy and the state of our humanity will improve. youtube.com/gJcC_3aFhFc

The difference between race-based policies and reparations is this: race-based policies give financial remuneration, but only reparations carries an inherent mea culpa - an acknowledgment of a wrong that was done, a debt that is owed, and the willingness of a generation to pay it
