What we need is people “experienced” in calling out  unjust systems and mounting a serious challenge to them. Our problem is not that we don’t have enough political car mechanics; our  problem is that we are on the wrong road. 2/2

People “experienced in government” gave us: the Iraq war; 20 years too long in Afghanistan and a spectacular failure at procuring its future; abuse of the planet so great our grandkids might not even be able to survive it; the largest income inequality in 100 years. 1/2

.@marwilliamson founded @ProjAngelFood over 32 years ago to feed Southern California's most vulnerable. They've served over 14 million meals. "It is a shining foundational light in the skies of Los Angeles & a lot of people should feel very proud."

I understand the technology is evolved enough to accomplish this. It’s the state of humanity that I fear is not evolved enough to handle the responsibility. (Plus the precarious nature of climate catastrophes.) If we invest enough in green energy sources, and in the development of new ones, we can do it without nuclear.

A person who approved the Willow project is the one who is “not serious” - about his own professed recognition that climate change is a threat to our existence. A person who won’t mention the public option & says he would veto a Medicare4All bill is the one who is “not serious” - about 1 in 4 Americans living with medical debt and people rationing their insulin. A person who won’t fight for a raise in the middle minimum wage is the one who is “not serious” - when 1/3 of workers live on less than $15 an hour and half of them can’t afford a one bedroom apartment. A person who IS serious is the one pointing out that our elite political establishment is an entrenched alliance of corporate power that guarantees the continuance of an American underclass. (And damn right that would defeat Trump.)

BREAKING: Workers at @McDonalds in LA have walked off the job ON STRIKE due to inside heat of nearly 100 degrees. Workers at this store helped launch a strike wave that spread to over 350 stores statewide in 2020 through 2022. We're reminding our bosses who has the power.

“We are no longer functioning as a democracy. We’re functioning as an oligarchy.” Democratic presidential candidate @marwilliamson says we need to disrupt the status quo from “of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.” More: youtube.com/503lHVhiXsc
