3/ The bad news is how dire the situation has become. The good news is how simple the solution is, if we each have the courage to go against the tide and insist - of ourselves as well as our institutions & govt - that doing right by people must become the new bottom line. Period.

1/ We have many different problems & that’s why they seem so overwhelming. But in fact we only have one basic problem & when that gets solved then in time our problems will disappear. The problem is that we’re out of our minds, having lost conscious contact with our deep humanity

Adam Smith, the main architect of free market capitalism, said it “cannot exist outside an ethical context.” Whether capitalism, tech, govt or something else, everything will be dangerous until we replace the question “How much $ will it make?” with “Is it the right thing to do?”

Some people still do. Religious and spiritual practices activate the healing potential within individuals.

The body has an immune system & so does civilization. Both can absorb a significant amount of injury as long as individual immune cells are activated. Each of us is an immune cell in the body politic; we’ll be guided, just like cells in the body, to how & where we can best serve.

A leader who chooses science over fear supports the Green New Deal. Concerned tweets aren’t a substitute for policy.

Conviction is a force multiplier We have far more lovers than haters, but lovers need to love with as much conviction as that which is displayed by the haters.

Because the other guy will. He will take things from terrible to incredibly horribly terrible - even full on fascist -and I feel it’s my responsibility as an American to do everything I can to avoid that.

This massive transfer of wealth should be called what it is: theft. It’s facilitated by politicians who are legally bribed by the thieves to do their bidding. The 2017 $2 Trillion tax cut was a perfect example. We need to get the thieves out of office & the money out of politics.
Since 1975, there has been a h-u-g-e redistribution of income in America, but it has gone in the wrong direction. Over the past 45 years, $50 trillion has been taken out of the pockets of the bottom 90% and into the hands of the top 1%—costing the median worker $42,000 a year.

A history of injustice towards Native Americans now forms its latest iteration at Standing Rock.
"Red Fawn Fallis, an Oglala Lakota woman, is the most severely sentenced water protector from the DAPL protest at #StandingRock, while the real criminals continue to pump oil through the pipeline in violation of the 1851 and 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaties."
