1/ I can’t bear to tweet about one more person killed by the police or one more group of people killed by a madman with a gun. Not tonight. I’m at a stage of simply integrating what it means that our country has sunk so very, very low.

2/ The overwhelming evidence that things are completely out of control is a naked truth we need to face right now. It’s in facing it - & feeling it - that we’ll be led to realizations of what it will take to get this country back on track. It will not be a quick or easy journey.

We have a violent culture with a lack of respect for human life and if we don’t acknowledge that we won’t have change. As a nation we are pathological. We have white men with guns shooting ppl because they are ill equipped to deal with feelings yet when I ask ppl to advocate..1/2

Yes. One cannot bypass the internalization and rush off to actualize. The truth of who we choose to be as a nation is not good. Time for each and every person to face the 🪞, if they so desire. 😉

I do believe this too. The hate is lashing about trying in vain. However, we will overcome this and be a more kind civilization. 🦋🙏🏼

I hope enough people see what you see with the understanding that you have to energize the change.

Try living as a Palestinian. 60 years in a prison and watching home after home destroyed. Life after life taken. Your past wiped away, your present a living hell, and your future a certain disaster.
