No it sure isn’t. That’s of you that just erases Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. from the history books.

Believe me I understand that. I just know that violent opposition to the current system would turn America very quickly into a permanent police state. And there is another way.

The Indian independence movement led by Gandhi, the Civil Rights Movement led by MLKJr. The most successful political revolutions of the 20th century were non-violent. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” - JFK

As I’ve said before, there should be a public works WPA type project providing those kinds of trainings for free now. The people who would need those jobs most likely don’t have the $4000 to shell out for it. Our lawmakers don’t recognize the desperation that’s building up now.

There’s never been a time when this much pressure has built up & it hasn’t spilled over into revolutionary change. We have to be very careful to make sure it’s peaceful, & you’re 100% needed to make that happen. You’re the last person in the world we can afford to have sit down.

.@HeidiBriones you did a great job. You said things that needed to be said and contributed to the coming of a better day. Some progressives will get elected now and some won’t, but every one who runs participates in a bigger win that‘s on the way. I hope you’ll stay in the game💗

Even under the best of circumstances job training programs have unfortunately proven not to be very successful.. People are trained to do jobs but that of itself doesn’t need more jobs are available. Especially now, it’s pretty nuts given that people need money just to survive.

Skills training credit for jobs that don’t exist! I can’t help but think people would rather have the cash. cnbc.com/2020/05/20/coronavi…

The Abolitionist movement emerged from Quakers & early evangelicals in NH; many leading Women Suffragettes were Quakers; & the Civil Rights movement was led by a Baptist preacher. The greatest social justice movements in our history have always emerged from spiritual conviction.

There are three pillars to a more sustainable world: A new relationship to each other, to the planet, and to animals. We need to rethink them all and place humanitarian concern before an obsolete economic perspective. This is an example: harvardpolitics.com/united-s…

There is only one reasonable response to this: that we stand up to it, stand up to it strongly & stand up to it now. They're trying to funnel their support? Well, you can funnel yours. The presidential primary fight is over; this one has only just begun. secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

Progressive Democrat @Nate_McMurray is an independent-minded Democrat whose special election in Western NY is June 23. We need him in Congress to work for the interests of the people, not corporate donors. Please support him.secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…
