Are you kidding? Tell me what realistic thing either of them are saying that I’m not saying?
Of course we should support any negotiations possible - I have said that repeatedly!! (Denmark offering to host talks, etc) - but someone just saying “I want a ceasefire! I say ceasefire now! I’m pro-peace!!” is saying what, exactly…? Do you think it’s that simple?
Are they saying the U.S. stop all support this minute? If they are, do you think Putin would just stop and say “0kaaaaay”? Are you under the impression that that would be followed by “peace?” That he would say “Great, let’s talk!”
No, he would simply crush Ukraine - and not “peacefully,” I assure you.
The counteroffensive is in process. I support Ukraine having any country left that it is possible to negotiate.

That system will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure the unholy alliance of government and corporate wealth is not disturbed.
We have to be willing to go to any (peaceful) lengths to make sure it is.

The problem is a sclerotic, corrupted political system that does more to obstruct than to facilitate the expression of the will of the people.

Years of experience has led me to believe that the American people are not the problem.
Poll after poll makes clear that the people’s “will” is for a moderate, decent alignment of public policy with the angels of our better nature. 🧵

Anything short of that (and the courage it requires) and we’re acquiescing to a lifeless, unethical institutional machinery that will inevitably lead to civilization’s demise.

We need to stand for humanitarian values in the face of a soulless, merciless insistence that profit matters more than people, animals or even the earth itself.

The reason there’s so much despair around humanity’s most serious challenges is not because we don’t have the genius or creativity with which to solve them, but because their solutions don’t align with our dominant economic paradigm. 🧵

Thank you. If “experience and pragmatism” is placed in the service of a soulless economic perspective, as it is now, then what does it do for us?
Some of the most tyrannous leaders in the world are “experienced and pragmatic.”
The experience we most need now is recognizing the deeper dynamics of a situation - particularly those of an unjust system - and the ability to articulate and transform them.
FDR said “the biggest job of the presidency is not administrative, but rather moral leadership.”

Enough to know that the business/economy/international trade paradigm that dominates our society does so at the expense of the majority of people who live in this country, as well as the planet itself.

Noooooooo.
🚨NEWS: Democrats are considering passing new GOP legislation giving corporations the right to vote.
The bill follows another state that considered legislation that would have allowed corporations to form their own governments. levernews.com/the-city-poise…
