A child born in the poorest neighborhood has the same God-given potential as a child born in the richest neighborhood. I believe God would have us treat them that way.

I’m a huge fan of space exploration in general! It’s the billionaire boy toy element that is enraging: billionaires who could have done so much, did so little & even reaped such rewards during a time of collective agony now flaunt their fun before us & expect our congratulations.

Ending slavery didn’t end racism, giving women the right to vote didn’t end misogyny & overthrowing the British aristocracy in 1776 didn’t rid the American mind of its sick attraction to an aristocratic economic paradigm. The next stage of our healing is the healing of our minds.

I read an article in the New York Times today by an establishment pundit who says he has a problem with the child tax credit because it doesn’t. come. with. any. work. requirements.

Systemic economic injustice is an invisible prison; it houses many millions of people who are told that they are free yet who know that they are not.
You ain’t living in a free country when you can’t afford healthcare, housing, childcare & have to work until you drop dead because some damn billionaire pays you a starvation wage so he can take a taxpayer funded trip to outer space. That’s a lot of things, but it ain’t freedom.

I cannot understand the lack of urgency around this. It isn’t just about whether Democrats have power; it’s about whether or not we have a democracy.
Dems have until around August 16 to reform redistricting. If they don’t, GOP will lock them out of power for a decade.
Yet, the reform is stalled due to the filibuster, Dems are working on other things, and House and Senate are going on recess next month. dailyposter.com/the-decades-…

Ten people telling deep truth will ultimately have more effect than a hundred people telling shallow lies.

Don’t think in terms of what you think people will hear; think in terms of what you think needs to be said and then say it.

Multi-billionaires seeking to escape a planet that is literally ravaged by systemic greed produces well-deserved cynical laughter. Optimism would be appropriate were they to do more to make things better for those here on earth.
