The power of love & compassion to work modern miracles is deeply supported by the furthest reaches of medical and scientific discovery today. Neurosurgeon @jamesrdotymd puts it all together. thriftbooks.com/w/into-the-m…

Great for who? An economy in which 40% of the people could not absorb a $400 unexpected expenditure (even before the pandemic) is not great. It’s a system of entrenched injustice that needs fundamental interruption. 40% of Americans are not lazy; they’re locked out!

What Biden represents is not a fundamental change from the economics of the last 40 yrs - no one thought that - but a pause in the action after a hard brush with neo-fascism. And that’s not nothing. Now it’s time to reimagine, reorient and regroup.

For over 20 I’ve been saying and writing exactly what I’m saying and writing now. Alexander Solzhenitsyn said “a writer is a government in exile.”

My point is that now that we have the neo-fascist exiting the WH (please God) we have to go about the work of repairing this country. I never pretended that a vote for Joe Biden was going to be a vote for fundamental change.That’s something we’re all going to have to make happen.

In order to stave off a Trump phenomenon that will continue to assault our democracy regardless what happens to Trump himself, Biden will need to reverse not only the chaotic & crazy disaster of the last 4 years but also the more polite but no less crazy disaster of the last 40.

I have respect for Hilary and I think she was the victim of deep misogyny. I disagree with her politics about quite a few things (I’m a Bernie fan) but I think she had it in her to have been a great president.

Washington over the last 40 years has perpetrated an insidiously disguised hoax, creating an economy of hopelessness for all but a few while claiming itself the harbinger of hope for masses of people who have no one from whom to seek redress except the perpetrators themselves.

I agree with that. We should remember that after Watergate, Haldeman and Ehrlichman and Mitchell and Dean all served prison time. Ford pre-pardoned Nixon but the rest of them went to jail.

I think state & federal Attorneys General will look closely at that, and if they believe there are indictable offenses than absolutely I hope they will prosecute.

You can’t actually point to buildings that were burned down, nor can you point to murderers like Kyle Rittenhouse among the protesters. Spraying paint on walls does not compare to separating children from parents at the border.
