“Disillusionment” isn’t bad; it means you were stripped of your illusions! Knowing now what an illusion it was to think the US govt is committed above all else to taking care of the American people, we can start a more serious conversation about what we’ll need to do to fix that.

When a caterpillar disintegrates it turns into what’s called an “imaginal soup.” “Imaginal cells” then form what is ultimately a butterfly. That’s where we are in many ways right now, an entire way of being disintegrating while we imagine where we want to go next.

I’m re-tweeting this thread so you can see a bit of a breakdown of the NDAA that was passed today.
1/ Sometimes it feels like people have just thrown up their hands and given up when it comes to American militarism. The Pentagon spends $2 billion a day or $1 million a minute. That’s not for garden parties.

I would do it again. I think the reelection of Trump would’ve been the end of the American experiment.

For desperate families to get $2K/mo - or even one time – that’s too much to ask of this Congress. But when the defense industry says to cough up $760B right away, right NOW, they’re like “Yes Sir! Right away Sir!” “Bipartisan support for our defense policy” my ass...

Defense spending in that bill has very little to do with anything that would provide defense against China.

And that money is from the defense industry!

The one thing, the only thing that made Republicans willing to stand up to Trump was their allegiance to the defense industry. “Bipartisan support” of the NDAA just means that MIC is a bigger cult than he is. DT will be gone but they’ll still be here. google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com…

Today and every day this year, try closing your eyes for two minutes and sending love to all living things. It will subtly change you - and it will change the world. 💐

I’m a bit ahead of myself, but if Ossoff and Warnock win on January 5 then I suggest a statue of Stacey Abrams be erected in Atlanta where the statue of a confederate leader used to be.

This is outrageous.
Banks should not have the power to decide whether overdrawn customers can gain access to COVID survival money being deposited into their accounts. Appallingly, they do.
