We have to passionately support candidates at every level - local, state, and federal - who represent an alternative to the undemocratic, authoritarian forces that now threaten. Those candidates are out there! Here’s a beginning. Candidatesummit.com

5/ The establishment ego doesn’t deride, mock, peripheralize & invalidate the notion of love as a broad scale social & political force because it actually thinks it’s ridiculous. It does those things because it subconsciously knows that it’s the one thing that could bring it down

4/ We’re on the earth to love & be loved. Until that’s the guiding principle for all personal and public relationships, humanity will continue to move in the direction of chaos & destruction. But awakening to that realization, we quickly move in the direction of solution & repair

3/ People waking up every morning knowing that those things are true, and/or living at the effect of them, are likely to be unhappy. But their upset is not the problem; it’s a warning. Psychic pain, like physical pain, is a sign that something is wrong and it must be addressed.

2/ Gun manufacturers flood America with guns yet our govt won’t stand up to them. Crony capitalism crushes the economic dreams of a majority of Americans yet it dominates our economic policies. Fossil fuel companies continue to desecrate our earth diminishing chances for survival

1/ A few food companies determine the quality of our food, which is increasingly toxic. The defense industry determines the tenor of our foreign policy, which is driven by weapons sales. A few insurance companies dictate our healthcare policies, which brutally neglect our needs.

Only because of an unholy alliance between political and economic forces currently thwarting the effort. Money in politics is the primary site of the cancer now overwhelming our body politic, obstructing the will of the people to sustain their own existence.

The problem with the current attention given to mental health issues is that it misses the point. A society whose bottom line is competition for wealth is inherently unhealthy, and its citizens will inevitably reflect the brokenness of spirit that derives from such a lack of love

Very true.
"Most major news outlets still present climate change as no more important than a dozen other public issues, when the fact is that if the world doesn’t get it under control, fast, climate change will overwhelm every other issue."
