I thought that way when both of my parents passed. And it will get better. The time will come when you’ll feel him like a constant presence and you’ll know that on some level he never left. 🙏🏻

A status quo doesn’t disrupt itself. If anything it seeks to perpetuate itself, co-opting whatever might otherwise be disruptive ideas in an effort to maintain itself. Oil companies say they’re “green,” food companies say “natural flavors,” military says “be all that you can be.”

This is how activism works...
4 weeks ago a bunch of neighbors in IL-5 got together to ask @RepMikeQuigley to cosponsor #M4A. After being outside of his office everyday, he signed on to Medicare For All for the first time.

The phrase “starvation wages” should not be a thing.
Let's be clear: 70% of tipped workers are women. We will not have equal pay for equal work until we increase the $2.13 sub-minimum wage - which has not gone up in 30 years - to $15 an hour and adopt one fair wage. We must end the crisis of starvation wages in America.

The Capitol police have suffered another terrible blow. Condolences and prayers today for the officer who died in the line of duty.

The root cause of most of our country’s problems lies in the abuse and neglect of children, but not just abuse and neglect on the part of individuals. Rather, the systemic abuse and neglect by a society that does not make paramount the fulfillment of their social & cultural needs

More than 2 million of our children are traumatized by homelessness, further traumatized by policeman breaking up the homeless camp, likely traumatized at school, then called a “mental health crisis” & often end up in jail; yet the system offers little more than more brute force.

LA’s #EchoPark homeless displacement is the new template for a soulless, military style treatment of a symptom by the same crowd that caused the problem. laprogressive.com/echo-park-…

“...a new study finds that at least 55 of America’s largest paid no taxes last year on billions of dollars in profits.” Low corporate tax rate & corporate tax avoidance is the single largest instrument of wealth transfer to the .001%. #StopTheBleed google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes…
