It’s very clear now what a politics of hate looks like; our task is to create a politics of love.

Having grown up in Texas and later lived in Michigan, I know Texans aren’t accustomed to serious winter weather & don’t know how to deal with it even under normal circumstances. This is a desperate situation. Please pray for Texas 💜

“I’m excited to endorse @CallForCongress’s campaign for WA-02. “Justice is what love looks like in public.” Jason, a dedicated father and former public school teacher, has a progressive platform embracing that love by putting humanity first. callforcongress.com

We’ve so normalized an economically tyrannous situation that moves which should be considered moderate and commonsensical are deemed far left and fringe. They are not.
A $15 minimum wage is not a radical idea. What's radical is the fact that millions of Americans are forced to work for starvation wages, while 650 billionaires became over $1 trillion richer during a global pandemic. Yes. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

It’s amazing how people who enabled him could have ever thought they would escape his wrath, should they deviate later from the path of full obedience to Dear Leader.

Some say it’s naïve to think we can make love our guiding principle for organizing human civilization. What’s actually naïve is to think we’ll last another hundred years on this planet if we don’t at least try.

Rugged individualism balanced with concern for the common good is a good combination. But over the last few decades we have lost all balance, even codified the imbalance into law.

Go Stephanie!
Paperback edition—with a new Introduction written to situate the book in the post-COVID moment—comes out in 3 weeks. Strong pre-orders could put us back on the NYT bestseller list.

Rugged individualism is an upside of the American character, but over the last few decades we’ve allowed to become rugged narcissism - at the expense of peace, justice, and people’s lives.

Born and raised in Houston, I know well the economic call to “Deregulate! Privatize! Deregulate! Privatize!” that came upon the state like a perverse new religion in the 70’s & 80’s and led directly to what’s happening now. Beware, America.

Surely “big” would include $2000 a month retroactively and until the end of the pandemic, possibly for three months afterwards as well.
