Enlightenment is easy when everybody around you is being nice to you and everything is basically going well. Times like these are what make it real.

The most powerful thing we can to provide even the slightest possibility for a sustainable, peaceful future is to empower women and girls and to do so quickly.
Women land rights matter. This is a carbon capturing technique I know. How do we restore our ecosystems when women land rights only account for 24% globally with limited rights over the use and control of resources?

“Ban the bomb” shouldn't just be a nostalgic slogan from the past; it should be a passionate cry from the heart today.

Poitier winning the Oscar was so huge at the time. He was a racial trailblazer as well as a great actor. He touched the world in a lot of ways. May he Rest In Peace. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/01/07/e…

Damn.
BREAKING: Shocking that the public prosecutor who jailed protestors at Line 3 sought funds from pipeline owner @Enbridge. Enbridge also paid wages of local police who arrested the protestors.
The U.S. is becoming a full-on corporate state. They don't even try to hide it.

2/ No legislator who takes money from Big Pharma or Insurance companies; gun manufacturers, Big Chem or Big Ag; Big Oil or the MIC has any right to call themselves a defender of our democracy. mariannewilliamson.substack.…

1/ Many of the people who so sanctimoniously sang democracy’s praises today, standing on the Capitol steps with those stupid fake candles in their hands, are for all practical purposes but handmaidens to democracy’s enemies.

The real “attack on our democracy” wasn’t just one event that took place a year ago; it’s the larger pattern of legalized bribery destroying our democracy from the inside. mariannewilliamson.substack.…

Let's not romanticize Jan 6 as a single event; it's a pattern. Every time resources of hope & opportunity are transferred from the many to the few, our democracy is attacked. The main point of attack is the systemic corruption that goes on in the Capitol building every single day

It used to be true here as well. But today? Whether prez was Obama, Trump or Biden, the economic fundamentals for the average American haven't changed. They've remained essentially unjust under all 3: low min wage, no universal healthcare, huge college loan debt & no free college

The real divide in this country isn't between Right & Left, it's between the powerful & the powerless. The Left-Right dichotomy is a veil of illusion created by the powerful, making the powerless hate each other rather than recognizing they're being oppressed by the same people.

All these politicians wringing their hands wondering what could possible bring Americans together, might consider doing things that a majority agree on: raise the min. wage, universal healthcare, cancel college debt, free college. Quell the despair, and you'll quell the violence.
