This is what happens when capitalism completely disconnects from conscience; it’s like a malignant cell that disconnects from its natural intelligence. Big Pharma cannot be trusted to dominate our health care. In too many instances - insulin is one - it is predatory and tyrannous

In 1776 the proper course of action was to “abolish.” Today, the proper course is to “alter.” Do you want those violent revolutions you mention to happen here?! Any effort to “abolish” our government is a path to unimaginable violence, suppression & authoritarianism - not change.

The way to “institute a new government” is by voting in new people. Those who say things like “burn it down” are only propping it up. If electoral politics wasn’t the key to change, certain forces wouldn’t be trying so hard to suppress the vote. #Vote2020

It rewrites itself with every generation. Our struggle today is with “corporate tyranny,” which is our new aristocracy. The principles of the Declaration give us the basis for the struggle as well as the right to wage it.

3/ Few generations have had so much to think about on July 4. Who will we, in our time, decide to be?

2/ Every generation lives out the American struggle: On one hand we’re based on the most aspirational and enlightened principles ever to inform the founding of a nation & on the other hand we’ve been at times the most violent perpetrators of transgression against those principles

1/ When the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, 41 of the 56 signers were slaveowners. The principles of the Declaration were not descriptions of what we yet embodied, but a statement of the ideals every generation should further. youtube.com/0LyzI81HDdw via @YouTube

Only if someone is deeply ignorant of American history, and in denial about what his administration has been doing. Taking care of Americans first? Do you think that’s what’s been happening with the government’s response to COVID-19?

She wouldn’t say that. And if she did, I would disagree with her vehemently. Freedom means we don’t have to agree with each other, and we certainly don’t have to agree with our president. Teddy Roosevelt, who he so hypocritically celebrated tonight, made that clear.

Listening to the president tonight, it’s clear what his strategy is. He is not simply positing Biden as his opponent; he is positing all those who don’t agree with him as evil people who are enemies of America. This could not be more troubling.

An extremely important article on why domestic police should not be militarized. A critical subject to understand ...and refuse to shut up about.theatlantic.com/national/arc…

No!! They’re standard issue for the military in WAR - not for domestic policing! That’s the point! The militarization of domestic policing is a danger to our democracy.
