Second shooting, now in Pensacola. May the angels of our better nature rise up and declare “No more.” Let’s do whatever it takes, in our hearts and in our world, to wage peace among us and cast out violence from our midst.

So deeply saddened by the tragic shooting at joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Praying for the victims, their families, and all those connected to the base. May we use this incident to reflect more deeply on what it will take to make us a more peaceful society...and then act on it.

Trump didn’t create America’s underlying problems; our underlying problems created him. Just defeating him in ‘20 will treat the symptom but not the cause. As long as we allow economics rather than our deep humanity to guide us, someone like him will always be lurking at the door

No amount of private charity can compensate for a lack of social justice. I’ve run a non-denominational church as well as nonprofits. No, churches & nonprofits cannot be left to clean up all the mess created by politicians serving corporate wealth at the expense of our citizens.

Many thousands of what you call “able-bodied adults” are not able to meet the requirements, and $.83 of every dollar of that tax cut went to the richest individuals and corporations.

The Trump administration now cutting food stamps for the poorest of the poor, after having passed a $2T tax cut for the richest of the rich. Is this what we have become as a country? We cannot be great if we are not good.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes…

This country will change when the people wake up, look at some things that are happening and say en masse, “That stops right now.”

The road ahead can be the most extraordinary chapter in American history, but only if we’re willing to take a brutally honest look at ourselves. There are things as a nation we must be willing to look at, atone for, make amends for & change. Anything less, and nothing will change

Thanks to known as well as unsung heroes of the environmental movement, the U.S. is now reaching a consensus that immediate, emergency-basis action is called for to reverse climate change. The next president should boldly ride the wave.marianne2020.com/issues/clim…

Environmental crisis not just political or biological; it’s a moral crisis. Its root was the replacement of an ancient sense of humanity’s partnership with nature, with the idea that nature is here for humanity’s utilitarian purposes. It’s inaccurate, immoral, dangerous & insane.

For every action there’s a reaction - an unalterable law of physics as applicable to behavior as well as to objects. Also, to collective as well as to individual behavior. Deeply irresponsible for a generation to behave in ways that will produce dangerous effects for a later one.

The very idea of “farming” animals is something deeply disconnected from right relationship between humanity & nature. We are here to be proper stewards of both animals & land & we are massively failing at both. Nature will reassert right balance if we do not. #Marianne2020
