This isn’t a time about learning something you don’t already know. This is a time to own what you already know, and to decide whether or not you’re going to do something about it.

Trump is a symptom rather than a cause of our deeper problems; if all we do is impeach or defeat him then we will simply be waiting around until the next iteration of neofascism arises. There are many more lined up… instagram.com/p/B6NXzcWhyAK/…

We need a politics that addresses cause as well as symptoms. Any unhoused, unfed & uneducated child is a time bomb waiting to explode. Any large group of desperate people is a petri dish out of which there will emerge societal dysfunction. Treat the cause to prevent the effects.

Millions of American children with Adverse Childhood Experiences are facing a statistical probability of a shorter lifespan because of it, but politicians have simply normalized their despair. We must disrupt a heartless economic and political status quo. youtube.com/watch?v=wr3wkt…

Trump will not be defeated by someone raging at Trump. How many more examples do we need of the fact that fighting him with traditional political tools is futile? He will be defeated by someone who inspires people, uplifts people, motivates people to their greatness. Just sayin'.

On this day in 1773, some Americans got seriously fed up and decided they wouldn’t take it anymore. They turned the tide of history - and so can we. google.com/amp/s/www.history…

Until we get the money out of politics -- repudiating the corporate aristocracy now dominating our government -- then government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" will remain frozen as words we no longer even try to embody. Our generation's job is to change that.

Impeaching or defeating Trump will not be enough to correct all wrongs. We need to do more than not go over the cliff; we need to get out of the vicinity of the cliff. Otherwise, the forces he represents will be back in '22 and '24. The deeper corruption is bigger than one man.
