The undue influence of money on our political system is the cancer underlying all the other cancers. Given the current make-up of the Supreme Court, we will not be able to overturn Citizens United anytime soon. But we can pass legislation to establish public funding of campaigns.

All my best to @BetoORourke and his family. I’m thinking of you and wish you well. You’re part of America’s political family now. Don’t stay away too long...

Money doesn’t come from corporate aristocrats dropping crumbs from their table in the form of job creation; money comes from the creativity and productivity of the American people. If you want to create a healthy economy, do everything possible to help people live their dreams.

Staid and traditional political strategy will be no match for the Cambridge-Analytica style onslaught that’s coming towards us. The answer lies outside the box! What will defeat outrageous lies is outrageous truth; fear-based politics dismantles reason but love dismantles fear.

Prayers for Californians in the vicinity of the fire. I hope you can feel the love and good energy people are sending your way from all over the world. Special prayers of protection for the brave and amazing responders. May all evacuees be comforted and blessed.

Great new article by Robert Koehler. When a police officer becomes a Buddhist: “I know it is possible to aspire to be kind and compassionate as a police officer, and that, that way, the job is safer and more fulfilling.” commonwonders.com/keeping-pe…

In 2017 more than 120 bills described as anti-LGBTQIA+ were introduced across 30 states and a frightening percentage have become law. We need to pass the Equality Act to give special federal protection to what has become in some cases a targeted community. marianne2020.com/issues/lgbt…

The more people are educated, the more access they have to their own creativity & productivity. The more people have access to their creativity & productivity, the more economic abundance is created for the entire society. Helping anyone get educated is an investment in everyone.

Withholding high quality education from children for no other reason than that they are poor is not just an education issue, it’s a moral issue. Putting more resources into war than into peace not just a political issue, it’s a moral issue. America needs a moral season of repair.

Econ injustice not just an economic issue, it’s a moral issue. Injustice in criminal sentencing not just a justice issue, it’s a moral issue. Desecrating earth not just an environmental issue, it’s a moral issue. Military adventurism not just a military issue, it’s a moral issue

Americans aren’t subdued by guns or even by bad laws. We’re subdued by MindFog. By the purposely created illusion that things are more complicated than they actually are. By the obscene suggestion that there’s something more important than doing right by the people of the world.

Our govt does more to advocate for the ability of those who already have a lot to get even more, and harder for those who do not have any to even make it at all. We must shift from an economic to humanitarian bottom line, to improve both the state of our economy and our humanity

Repeal the 2017 $2T tax cut. Put back in the middle class cut. Stop corporate subsidies. Let govt negotiate w/ big Pharma to reduce drug prices. Limit military spending to what the military says they need, not what defense contractors say they just want. EW correct on wealth tax.

The American people have been mentally trained to expect too little, to ask “Pretty please” for things which their own taxes should be paying for. Let’s free ourselves of the illusion that it’s good economics to transfer huge amounts of wealth into the hands of just a few people

When healthcare & tuition at free state colleges & universities is free, & the college loan debt is completely cancelled, it will be a massive infusion of economic hope & opportunity plus the removal of chronic stress & anxiety from the lives of millions. That’s what govt is FOR
