There is no substitute for good parenting. But tens of millions of American parents don’t have the economic resources to provide all that. Every public school should be a palace of learning, culture & the arts - no matter what neighborhood; every child should have healthcare etc.

The greatest potential for a repaired country over the next fifty years lies in massively front ending our resources in the direction of children - physically, educationally, socially and culturally. Our greatest hope lies in the brain development of children before the age of 8.

From environmental breakdown to Covid; from the degradation of our topsoil to the corruption of food and water supplies; from racial and economic injustice to a perpetual war machine; it’s incumbent on our generation to imagine, articulate & build a completely different world.

I actually like the Pledge of Allegiance. The fact that I put my hand in front of my heart when I was a little girl & pledged allegiance to "One nation ... with liberty and justice for all" is part of what turned me into a woman who gets really pissed when I see it not happening.

John Adams said he hoped that every July 4 we would "revisit our first principles." I agree we need to revisit them, remember them & teach them to our children. Especially in school! But to me that's different than a "Loyalty Day." If DJT had done this we'd be out of our minds.

“While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years.” - Abraham Lincoln.
But if we had given DJT another four years we might not have made it.

I don't know who in the White House came up with this. I liked Biden's speech the other night but I think this is creepy. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

There was no standing army at the beginning of World War II so of course they had to build one. It was turning the machinery of war into a profit-making venture afterwards that Eisenhower so rightly criticized.

President Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex 60 years ago. His words sound even truer today. Listen: youtube.com/embed/Gg-jvHynP9…

This is such an important case. Chevron’s prosecution of #StevenDonziger is an assault on all environmental activism. And it blocks us from efforts to right the wrongs perpetrated in Latin America by unbridled and unethical corporate power.
Meet us May 10th at the federal courthouse in Manhattan for a peaceful rally on the first day of my trial.
Time to let Judge Preska and Chevron know the world is watching.

2/Whereas economics was the principle by which we organized 20th century Western civilization, our organizing principle in the 21st-century should be humanitarian values. Anything less than that and humanity faces the risk of extinction.
