Dream on, I’m afraid. A Star Trek model built around exploration is called NASA! Billions of dollars spent expanding NASA at this point might have been an exciting prospect. But the Space Force is not what this is. It’s a new branch of the US military.

Our country should not be run like a business; it should be run like a family. First you take care of your children and your older people, then everything else falls more easily into line. That’s what it means to move from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line.

Kudos to Cong. Ro Khanna & Sen. Bernie Sanders for expressing appropriate outrage at yesterday’s bill. If this is the best we can do with a Democratic House, then we are in really big trouble. Our government is a fully owned subsidiary of the military-industrial-complex.

2) It increases Trump’s ability to support Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, continues presidential permission to wage war without Congressional approval (does nothing to reign in his power to invade Iran), and betrays all of us by refusing to clean up the deadly chemical PFAS.

1) If it passes the Senate, we will now have a sixth branch of the US Military: The Space Force! You know that bit about lovers looking up at the stars? Watch out kids. You’ll never know again what might be pointed at you while you do. We are MILITARIZING SPACE.

Bill that passed the House yesterday is criminally negligent regarding the wellbeing of humanity. It throws one progressive bone: 12 weeks of paid family leave for all civilian federal workers, but it does other things that are horrifying.

People should be aware: THIS is what anti-Semitism is. This is what it looks like. This is how it starts. It always begins with this hateful, ancient anti-Semitic trope: that Jews have too much power. One of Hitler’s favorites.

Kudos to Mayor de Blasio for his meaningful and passionate statements about anti-semitism today. May all of our leaders, and all of our citizens, stand strong in the face of hate.
Our hearts are with our neighbors in Jersey City, the Jewish community and the law enforcement community enduring so much pain today.
Our country is facing a crisis of hate. We CANNOT hide from it. We CANNOT give it permission. We have to confront it and stamp it out.

Seeking asylum in the United States is a statutory right. It is neither a crime nor an invasion.

“Make no mistake: the criminality is not on the part of those seeking asylum in the U.S. after an arduous journey seeking to escape violence in their home countries. The criminality is on the part of a government that so traumatizes them when they arrive.” marianne2020.com/posts/towar…

In our personal lives, I think the average American has a sense of right & wrong & we try to do the right thing in life. Our public policies should simply be driven by the same moral compass, the same dictates of conscience, same intention to do right by other people & the world.

Those who lack appreciation for the deep & transformative power of love, who laugh at its fierceness & diminish its importance, yet long for it in the deep dark night of their souls as much as does anyone else. It is their pain, not their intelligence, which guides their mockery.

Whether it’s integrative medicine folded into our healthcare, more compassion at the border, addressing poverty among millions of our citizens, repairing our earth & regenerating our soil, or restoring moral authority to our foreign policy - the solution to every problem is love.

Simply not true. Seeking asylum is not a crime, it is a statutory right. You are demonizing people who have done nothing wrong and criminalizing actions that are not crimes.

Martin Luther King Jr. said what was needed was “a coalition of conscience.”’That was true in his time and it is true today. Wherever there is the sufferer, there must be our hearts to love them and our hands to help them. It is that which makes our country good.

Nowhere is the moral compass of the United States more broken than on the issue of immigration, and nowhere am I more committed to making it right. Here are my Immigration policies. marianne2020.com/issues/immi…
