Twitter is not the same as speaking to voters in primary states, national press within the context of a political campaign etc. Speaking from the periphery can be influential, but speaking from within a candidacy is something else. It’s the difference between influence and power.

Ever since the 1980s, the corporate aristocracy has worked hard to defeat, demonize, and disable organized labor. The right of workers to earn a decent, dignified wage should be considered as sacred a commitment of a free society as should any other goal.

When 1% of the population owns more wealth than the bottom 90%, the last people you should be asking for economic advice are the people who created that situation.

Limiting people’s opportunities to thrive for sake of a phantom belief it wouldn’t be good economics is simply a tool of the master to keep the slave confused. Such economic nonsense serves only the economic good of a few at the expense of many. Time for the many to wake up now.

There’s a difference between a political system & a political establishment. Our political system is one of the most awesome if not the most awesome ever created. Our political establishment is an entrenched, elitist obstruction to the higher functioning of our political system.

Our economic system was invented before women had a voice in the public realm; raising children was considered women’s work. But we do have a voice now. We should be using it to rescue children from the ravages of living in a world that views their welfare as a secondary concern.

All public policy should be built around one core principle: do that which would help people thrive. Current policies - economic, educational, environmental etc - do more to thwart than support people in living their highest potential. The way to heal the world is to reverse that

I’m not focused on fighting Trump, but on creating policies that help people thrive. He’s like an opportunistic infection: only there because of a weakened societal immune system. Pres Trump didn’t create the deeper underlying problems; the deeper underlying problems created him.

System that could be: Do justice, repair earth, right wrongs, feed children, heal wounds, treat cause - vs. System that is: Withhold justice, desecrate earth, exacerbate wrongs, harm children, deepen wounds, tinker with symptoms. The choice is ours. Marianne2020.com

We need a massive realignment of investment in the direction of America’s children. To make this country everything it can be 10 years from now, we should take better care of our 10-year-olds today. youtube.com/watch?v=wr3wkt2d…

From community wraparound services to trauma informed education to nutritional & mental counseling to anti-bullying to violence prevention to mindfulness in schools, we will rescue American children no differently than if they were victims of a natural disaster. Because they are.

Psychologists say the PTSD of millions of American children is no less severe than that of returning veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq, simply from living with the daily pressures put upon them. We will not ignore these pressures; we’ll address them.

My agenda? A season of moral repair: establish economic justice, rescue millions of traumatized children, heal the earth, wage peace, & create health as well as treat sickness. They’re fundamental pattern disruptions, shifting the US from an economic to humanitarian bottom line.
