We should lower voting age to 17. People with small chance of even being here in 30 yrs shouldn't dominate decisions that affect those who will then be in their prime. Kids in high school are more at risk, have more at stake, and should have more power in determining the future.

I think about it too, and I wasn’t even one of those children. Tens of millions of American children are growing up with that trauma and even worse. Then we wonder where all the depression, suicide, addiction and rage come from…

The prophetic voice is fierce when it has to be. Love includes radical truth-telling, even - and perhaps especially - when it’s inconvenient for the status quo.
We voted for folks because they said, “Elect me and I am going to deal with systemic racism and I am going to pass a living wage of $15 an hour,” which is a compromise in and of itself. We have to hold people to what they said.
