Thank you @richroll. It was lovely talking to you.
Delighted to share this conversation with force of nature @marwilliamson on the perils of our entrenched government-media-industrial complex; the legacy of 60’s activism; the role of spirituality in politics & more. bit.ly/richroll663

This is who got together in Munich this weekend to discuss what to do about Ukraine. The picture will appear almost inconceivable to future generations.

Absolutely unacceptable.
BREAKING: The sponsor of the "Don't Say Gay" bill in the Florida House, @josephbharding, just introduced an amendment that would REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO OUT LGBTQ STUDENTS even if the school believes THE DISCLOSURE WILL RESULT IN "ABUSE, ABANDONMENT, OR NEGLECT"

Instead of $600B over the next decade for more nukes, plus $780B every year for more military, plus tax cuts for the ultra rich, we could do this…and with a far greater return for our investment.

The US government is stunningly callous towards the needs of our young. From pre-k thru higher ed every American should have a free world class education. And we should #CancelStudentDebt

Bernie Sanders is a real life absolute hero.
"They exploit our work, and then we get to watch them sit in the office and make $4 million a year."
This week, Bernie Sanders hosted striking @mineworkers at a Senate hearing to discuss how vulture capitalists are exploiting workers.
UMWA has been on strike for 300+ days.

Like hell you do. If you want to improve their lives, try saving their lives: stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia.
We want to see Yemeni lives improved and a space for Yemenis to collectively determine their own futures. In my call with @UN @OSE_Yemen Special Envoy Grundberg, I expressed our support for an inclusive political framework for peace and a durable resolution ending the conflict.

It’s called “sportswashing” - authoritarian regimes hosting magnificent sports events to distract us from their horrible human rights abuses.
Phil Mickelson on why he is taking the big money to play the new Saudi golf league: “They’re scary MFers to get involved with. They killed Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights .. (but) this is a once in a lifetime opportunity ..”espn.com/golf/story/_/id/333…

It literally protects the air we breathe, and a soulless monster of a political machine wants to crush it.
This is what we’re dealing with. Get active and get ready for the midterms. dailyposter.com/koch-machine…
