1/ When I would talk on the campaign trail about things like a Department of Peace - about proactively waging peace - people would sometimes say to me “Marianne, you’re right but people aren’t ready for this yet.” I would often respond, “How much time do you think we have?”

2/ The horror of Covid could just as easily have been a nuclear catastrophe, conceivably with worse & even permanent results. Naive to think we’re any less vulnerable to that than we were to this. Another area where we must radically re-imagine the future if we’re to survive it.
