1/ Everything that’s happening was inevitable given the basic heartlessness now entrenched within our economic and political system. While that heartlessness reaches an apex in Trump, it has been there for a long time. Republicans promulgated it and Democrats too often went along

Derek Chauvin is now in custody. The long journey to justice is beginning to unfold. I was impressed by speeches made by the Mayor of Minneapolis and the Governor of Minnesota. Important to acknowledge all those who are trying to do the right thing. Kudos to those who are.

Today is John F. Kennedy’s birthday. One of his most famous quotes suits the day: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” May he who is in heaven Rest In Peace, and we who are on earth rise up in peace.

2/ In the absence of our recognizing that and admitting it, white supremacists have fed upon the wound and cause it to fester. We need leaders who vow to right the wrong on a systemic level. No more just wringing your hands, guys. Man up, get real & get going with serious action.

1/ Environmental, economic and criminal injustice towards people of color, particularly black Americans, is a modern scourge upon the soul of America.

Dear God,
Be with us
in this moment of our turmoil. Protect the lovers
and heal the haters.
Overshadow the country
with the spirit of Your good.
Lead us through these waters
for they are rough
and we are frightened.
Bless our precious world.
Amen

3/ And no Mr. President those who protest are not thugs. To protest is their Constitutional right. They’re doing all that has been left for them to do. It is America that has failed them & not the other way around. Should they be peaceful? YES! And so should you be. So should you

2/ As with any crisis it’s never just about one thing. This isn’t just about George Floyd. It’s also about thousands of others who preceded him, who got no justice and received no mercy. America needs to fall to its knees now, to apologize, to pay reparations, to commit to change

1/ For years many of us said, “We’ve got to change this guys, or the country is going to blow. People will only take oppression for so long.”Unheeded, the warning went unheard. We’re past containment now; things have blown up, as anyone really looking would have predicted.
