I haven’t endorsed anyone because there’s more than one good progressive and everyone has to vote their conscience. But I submit to my supporters that someone with no real agenda and no real vision for our country beyond a vague notion of inclusion is nothing but a corporate tool

This year we have no choice but to do everything possible to defeat the extremist right wing forces now dominating the WH and Senate. We can’t allow ourselves to take our eye off that goal, even for a second. It’s not a hyperbole to say the survival of our democracy depends on it

We can turn the Senate blue in 2020!!! Think Maine! All of us can help retire Susan Collins. We have a great progressive alternative in Betsy Sweet, who has spent her life advocating for the people of Maine & against money in politics. Please chip in here: bit.ly/2FFYK09

The problem with the warmonger class and their enablers is that they’re not always easy to detect. They wear good suits, speak in measured tones, often went to good schools.The only thing that seems to make them flip out is the appearance of someone who mentions love and means it

Between a corporate defense industry, corporate media & corporate politicians, cries for peace & justice have been stifled not only on the streets but even in our hearts. Cry out anyway. At such a soulless time as this, nothing is more important than that we take a stand for love

Proactive peacebuilding is to war what exercise and nutrition are to sickness. It doesn’t necessarily mean you can stop it completely, but it does mean you can prevent a lot of it.

There are four main factors to peacebuilding. When present, statistically there will be a higher incidence of peace and a lower incidence of conflict: Expanded education for children, greater economic opportunity & diminished violence against women and less unnecessary despair.

We’re going to have to do more than love “civilized standards.” We’re going to have to love one another.

I suggest you go see a movie called “Charlie Wilson’s War.” Large groups of desperate people are like a petri dish out of which the emergence of societal pathology is almost inevitable.

Perpetual war won’t end til we challenge the mindset that produces it.This means more than just bringing troops home or challenging the military-industrial complex. It means a proactive effort at peacebuilding, the main element of which is an alleviation of unnecessary suffering

Those who would argue that ending war is a utopian goal unworthy of serious consideration are acquiescing to the idea that allowing an end to our species is somehow acceptable.
