American citizens have been trained to expect too little from our government. The resources of this country - the best in health care, education & economic opportunity - should belong to its citizens. That's what we pay taxes for and that's what we should expect.

According to Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence, the end is inherent in the means. If we’re hateful to each other now, we’re not going to be able to all come together in some kumbaya effort once the nominee is chosen. Anger weakens us.We can practice respectful disagreement now.

The circular firing squad so endemic to the Left is deeply destructive, leaving us battered and weakened before the Right even takes a shot. Nothing plays into the hands of our opponents more than our viciousness towards one another.

Memo to thinking people: @BernieSanders and @ewarren are having a spat. It’s no big deal. They are human beings. They had a moment. They’re both wonderful and they’re friends. Let’s give it a break.

If it was winnowed down in a way none of you hoped, more of you could have cried "Foul" while it was happening. It wasn't just ethnic diversity that was winnowed down; it was anything that didn't fit into an establishment politics. Now everyone is rightfully nervous! Classic.

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Before the Raytheon man, the interim Defense Secretary before him was an ex Boeing exec. That’s how it works, folks. And it will work that way until we get the money out of politics.

After Qassem Soleimani’s killing by American military forces on Jan 3rd, weapons manufacturer Raytheon’s stock shot up, closing at a record high. The man in charge of the Pentagon, Defense Sect Mark Esper, spent years as Raytheon’s top lobbyist before joining the Trump admin.

When I would point out that the military-industrial-complex/ defense contractors wield too much influence on our national security agenda, people would ask me how. Here’s the answer...citizensforethics.org/mark-e…

Don’t let low unemployment figures fool you. A permanent underclass is nothing for our country to be proud of. brookings.edu/blog/the-avenu…

Sources who say the economy is better than it has ever been only say that because it’s better for THEM. Not just too much $ is in hands of too few; too much power is in the hands of too few, including the power to tell our story. The suffering of millions has been made invisible.

No, I did not. That is erroneous, based on the fact that I endorsed him in 2015. As you can see, the article you quote is from back then.

It is being erroneously reported that I endorsed another candidate. I have not (people are sharing videos of me from 2015). I have not endorsed anyone in the 2020 race.

No, I did not ask for contributions. People who contribute to the campaign now are doing so in order to help retire the campaign debt.

I have not made any endorsements. There are people sending around videos etc. of my endorsement of Bernie in 2016.

I appreciate it, Dennis. So many lies were told during the campaign about my work with AIDS patients. Rather heartbreaking. Thank you for telling what was really going on. I’m so glad you’re doing well. @CharlesMBlow
