Anger as a political motivation is like white sugar; it gives you an adrenaline high but then you crash. Love as a political motivation is genuine nourishment; it’s slower coming on, more time-released, but ultimately provides much greater strength and staying power.

Anger is a natural human feeling when harm occurs. The crucial question is, how do we act when we feel it? If we react with blame and vilification, we will likely make matters worse. The challenge is, can we respond in a way that promotes healing? It may take time and dedication.

Disagree. Not with your sentiment but with the notion of anger itself. My experience of healthy anger is that it IS loving. It’s a loving “no”. An activation that says “I won’t be treated that way.” Or “I won’t agree to this insanity”. Healthy anger and love are the same thing.

We live in a country that feeds it's children Type 2 diabetes, it's infants brain damage, it's poor obesity & congestive heart failure, it's cities lead in a glass, it's down & out homelessness. We know nothing of sustenance, only hunger.

So the next step is to transmute our righteous anger into love, then build a new foundation for the future upon it

I think for people not to be angry some basic needs have to be met. My mom is 80 with 5 conditions that put her at high risk for COVID. No vaccine appointment in sight. Biden is not following science like he promised, not letting people stay home via #UBI either. #genocide
