I’ve never been anti-vax, never made an anti-vax statement (I criticized mandatory, as many do), and the only thing that’s batshit crazy is how easily people were duped into thinking I was someone that I’m not.

3/ An awakening among people that societal change is even possible is always prerequisite to political evolution. In the words of Thomas Paine, “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.” Something is wrong; we can make it right.

2/ A system where profit for a few is society’s bottom line is inherently at odds with democracy. The idea of trickle down economics has attached itself like a parasite to our democracy & continues to leech its life force. It’s not 1 thing that’s the problem; it’s the whole thing

1/ Our society is experiencing a whole systems breakdown that demands a whole systems response. We’re stuck in an endless round of whack-a-mole, an exhausting exercise constantly fighting off madness when what democracy should be is the collective pursuit of solutions & progress.

We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act ASAP. brennancenter.org/our-work/r…
Georgia Senate Republicans just introduced sweeping new voter suppression bill that repeals no-excuse absentee voting & requires witness signature + photocopy of voter ID for mail ballots. This is really ugly

What is it about this country that we show so much love for people after they’re gone, and so little for them while they’re here?

No, electing him to begin with will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in American history.

Some extremely good people are lining up to run in the next election. They will not be supported by corporate America; to win, they must be supported by us. Donate now! secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

Gaslighting only works until people see through it. A neoliberal establishment on both left & right has sold itself as the purveyor of our good & guarantor of our security. Now that it's so totally obvious that that's not true, an awakening is happening & the lights are going on.

A system that keeps the majority of its citizens in survival mode is predicated on those citizens not having the bandwidth to challenge it. But people are waking up to all this and that's going to make all the difference.

Businesses doing well don't necessarily create better or more meaningful lives. But people living better and more meaningful lives do create better businesses. We have the whole thing completely upside down.

His not doing $2k/mo, cancelling college loan debt or standing for $15 min wage isn't about the time it takes to clean up a mess, and no one should feel shamed for being very disappointed regarding those three issues. They mean poverty v. not poverty for millions of people.
