4/ We have ancestors who murdered & enslaved, and we also have ancestors who were liberators & paved blazing trails for those who came after. We’re at a dangerous choice point & it’s ours to decide now: the path of an authoritarian nightmare or a path of America rebuilt & reborn.

3/ When we’re only serving ourselves we’re not as powerful as when we’re serving something bigger. The journey of the US - a struggle it embodies between the worst & best of human nature - is a continuing ribbon of history that stops at every generation’s door. It’s at ours now

2/ Too many losing sight of that ideal & disconnecting from personal responsibility for furthering it, has left us vulnerable to all the undemocratic forces that abound today. Reclaiming the ideal in our own hearts is fuel for pushing back powerfully against those who threaten it

1/ The radicalism of the American ideal is that here would be a place where anyone could have the chance to manifest their God-given potential. We’ve never fully embodied that ideal, but many at great personal sacrifice have pushed it forward and in various ways we’ve succeeded.

Until the ‘80’s they weren’t allowed to advertise on TV. And it goes far beyond that, from predatory pharmaceutical executives already indicted for the opioid crisis to the intentional creation of other unnecessary profit centers as well. Any challenge met with strategized smear.

Thank you, @POTUS. We needed to hear this from you.
Workers in Alabama – and all across America – are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace. It’s a vitally important choice – one that should be made without intimidation or threats by employers. Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union.

With a Democratic president, a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate, it shouldn’t have to be such a fight.

The sculptor said he’s building a bronze one that will be gold plated and sell for $10 million. Seriously.

Covid relief bill is desperately needed, but tho it saves many from total disaster it doesn’t change the fundamental paradigm by which disaster is almost always too close a prospect for tens of millions of people. #Medicare4All, #cancelstudentdebt, #15minwage, #taxtherich do that

They should look to it to provide opportunities for them to create their own. Yes, they absolutely should.
