1/ The way to fundamentally disrupt an entrenched, disastrous political status quo is thru a 2-pronged approach: peaceful protest in the streets & protest at the ballot box. One without the other & the old order- thru police brutality & voter suppression – will be able to hold on

2/ We shouldn’t confuse disease with its symptoms. The disease is a sociopathic economic system, beholden to nothing but its financial bottom line, that has infected every organ of our society - including & especially the govt. The symptoms will be there until we heal the disease

3/ $ out of politics. Appropriate regulation of economy. Repeal ‘17 tax bill. End corporate subsidies. Defund & demilitarize police. Med4All. Free tuition. UBI. End of corporate rule by health ins/Big Pharma; private prisons; NRA; oil & gas, Big Ag, chem, food & defense industry.

4/ We either have a govt “of the people, by the people & for the people” - or a govt “of the corporations, by the corporations & for the corporations.” This generation will decide. We’ll either descend into neo-fascist darkness, or have “a new birth of freedom” - #LikeLincolnSaid

Don’t kid yourself. A lot of people older than that are in this too. The younger you are the more you know certain things but the older you are the more you know certain other things. Separating ourselves by generations limits us at this point. We’re all one generation of adults.

Good try. Are you under the impression that Trump is doing anything for those 3.6 million black children living in poverty? (and it’s a much bigger number than that, by the way)
