Our political system has played this crisis the same way it played things before the crisis, paving the way for our unpreparedness medically and also our unpreparedness economically. The last thing we need is to go back to business as usual when this is over.

This forced pause is bringing up everything uncomfortable to look at, not only in ourselves but also in our politics. That’s why crisis is both danger and opportunity. We get to look at something and say “Do I really want to go forward with this, or is it time to drop it now?”

What I experienced as a presidential candidate is that the same system which led us into a ditch was very adamant that only they were qualified to let us out of it. Adamant to the point of viciousness towards anyone else, making it very difficult to introduce genuinely new ideas.

This situation is analogous to what happens when your house is destroyed let’s say by fire or by earthquake and you have to rebuild it afterwards. There are all kinds of things you’re free to change now. It starts by changing what we ourselves believe is possible in the the world

Thank you. Your voice is important. You continue to offer something that is unique. If you can, continue to push and refine, make further connections and paint concrete examples

Yes people are dying and suffering from COVID19 and all they care about is the bailing out corporations. It's never been more clear that our lives mean nothing to them. We need change, we need to #VoteThemOut

A! Men!The kicker is that the government would love for things to continue on as usual. But they can’t this time because —for the first time— they will have an entire country let alone, a globe, all on the same page ready for the political system to act up if they want to.

Maybe stop stumping for capitalism then because that's the name of this "system."

Marianne please tweet about Tara Reade. She has accused Biden of rape and MSM is ignoring this.
