1/ Everything that’s happening was inevitable given the basic heartlessness now entrenched within our economic and political system. While that heartlessness reaches an apex in Trump, it has been there for a long time. Republicans promulgated it and Democrats too often went along

2/ Cornell West was right when he said the system has proven “incapable of reforming itself.” We know at this point what to expect from Trump, but Congressional leaders should be listening up and taking heed.

3/ It’s reasonable to expect nothing but a crackdown law-and-order mentality from McConnell, but @SpeakerPelosi and @JoeBiden could at this moment break free of their neo-liberal container, reclaim the soul of the Democratic Party, and actually make a difference. I hope they do.

4/ Trump is already having military units prepared to deploy to Minneapolis. If democratic party leadership doesn’t come up with a plan for bold fundamental changes it will be a huge strategic mistake. The era of politics as usual is over; need for enlightened leadership now here

Wrong. Blaming Trump is cheap and easy and if that is all you have at this point your a loser. The world didn’t start in 2016, if you think the problems are because of him you are lazy & will never fix a problem. They will be there long after he is gone unless u focus on problem

Most of the Democrats are just as bad. They controlled the house under ObombYa, crickets on every issue that hurt our people. They care nothing about justice, just control of wealth and power!

Yes, why don’t you ask for a meeting with democratic house, (have you ever spoken to AOC?)and discuss how you can help in this arena ? Rome was NOT built in a day. Get your foot in that door @marwilliamson OR run for senate??!

You aren’t a young woman. With all the terribel@things Democrat’s have done in your lifetime?, how can you say something like that?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Also, you should be a leader. When you say republicans, you aren’t talking about politicians, you are talking about 1/2 of the country. How does that help you with your message?? This is a perfect example for why you’re influence, unfortunately will remain mediocre.

Please, please contact me by DM. There is important scientific research on how Corona virus is spreading which is not being adopted into public health policy fast enough. Our ambulances, ERs, hospitals, cancer centers are not safe for use by heart, cancer, stroke patients!
