1/ One day all of this is going to shift, and when it does we will have a small window of opportunity to begin again on a different foundation. We should be very clear that our priorities will no longer be the same.

2/ We should demand of our government & only elect those who put economic & criminal justice first, care of the earth first, care of children first & waging peace first. Not only in words but in policies and action. The vigor of our own citizenship should drive events from now on

And actually learning from war, literal and figurative wars. We can’t build peace without internalizing the lessons and the horrors. I find that skipping the internalizing and rushing to actualizing keeps us in a loop of symptomatic fixes instead of addressing the root.
