1/ That so many Americans are left to fend for themselves through this crisis, without proper healthcare and without an adequate bailout - in many cases without even food - does not just speak to how America handles a crisis; it speaks to what America has become.

2/ Yet even here, in the depth of revulsion one feels at our official heartlessness toward health care workers, children and so many of our most vulnerable, there lies the seed of a new American beginning. It’s when we see how off-track we are that we’re most inspired to change.

3/ America has historically responded to our worst deviations from conscience with periods of self-correction. We responded to slavery with abolition, oppression of women with suffrage & institutionalized white supremacy with the civil rights movement. So we will respond to this.

This is not the great awakening we might have hoped for... it may take even more devastation.

So let me get this straight? Women should only be concerned if Rape is done by Republicans only but not if done by democrats. Ok makes sense to me.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. Abolition, suffrage, and civil rights were fought for with human bodies and won with blood.
These snakes are way smarter, wealthier and more connected than they were 20, 60 or 100 years ago. Even this pandemic has shown it can’t shake the establishment. So unless there is a #GeneralMassStrike for an extended period of time (which ppl can’t afford) nothing will change.
