If I were a member of the House of Representatives yesterday, would I have voted yes to impeach the president? Yes. But I would not have done so with any sense that that’s going to solve the deeper problem. The… instagram.com/p/B6QEwS0B77O/…

I should’ve said not “just” on the outside. We need disruptive leadership both inside and outside establishment walls. Otherwise systems become entrenched.

“Mass protests & strikes that can shut down entire industries” is problem-solving from another century. What we need is disruptive leadership not outside the building but inside it.

Collapse is NOT the only way. We can choose another way right now! Collapse would only intensify fear, throwing us right into the arms of a dictator and creating further collapse. That is NOT the answer! Courage to choose another way right now is the answer.

For every problem, America has the people who know what to do & the genius with which to do it. We need to face the uncomfortable fact that govt has become the biggest obstruction to solving our problems because they’re funded by those who create them. We & we alone can fix that.

We could solve our material problems; lack of ability to do that’s not the problem. The deepest problem is erosion of our values, a complacency with which we face things as morally horrifying as endless wars, unnecessary suffering & continuation of destruction to people & planet.

The mindset that created the world as it is takes umbrage at the introduction of a mindset that would create something different. Do. Not. Go. Along. Marianne2020.com

Transformation requires internal as well as external change. There’s a deep emotional component to processing the crisis we’re in & transitioning to a place where we’re capable of creating something different. These times require a president who knows how to navigate both worlds.

On the other side of this crisis lies the possibility of the most extraordinary chapter in our history - but only if we’re willing to be honest about where we are. Being totally willing to recognize the place we’re in now is prerequisite to creating the world that we prefer.

America is like frogs in hot water, dangerously desensitized to the increasing heat. From encroaching environmental destruction to a rise of authoritarian leaders in places where this “isn’t supposed to happen,” it’s important to admit to ourselves that this is a time of crisis.

US govt was highjacked by a soulless economic system that puts corporate profits before human & planetary well being. We need to put our govt back into alignment with democratic & humanitarian values. It’s not just a political course-correction; it’s emotional & psychological too

The “Militarist Delusion” - as usual, Robert Koehler hits the nail on the head. commonwonders.com/militarism…

We need a Department of Peace to promote and co-ordinate the peace builders domestically and internationally. We need to wage peace at home and abroad. marianne2020.com/issues/us-d…

Our environmental policies violent toward the earth. Our foreign policies violent toward Yemen etc. Our economic policies violent toward the poor. Our criminal justice system in many ways as violent as the violent offenders it seeks to punish. And our hearts are too often violent

I want the same gun safety legislation every progressive Dem wants, but it’s still an area where we’re talking about symptoms and need to talk about cause. As a society, we will continue to have a problem with violence until we look in the mirror and face how violent we are.
