As President I will establish a Department of Peace. We will harness the powers of peace building, particularly among women and children, to begin to transform both our domestic and international landscapes.

Reliance on brute force as our primary mode of problem solving is not the way to end violence; it is the way to perpetuate its vicious cycle.

An increase in our military budget doesn’t correlate to an increase in national security. An increase in our police budget doesn’t correlate to increased safety on our streets. 🧵

Something is seriously wrong, on a deeper level than most people are allowing themselves to take in. How, after everything that has happened in this country, did the policeman in this case think he could do this? I will begin the process of fundamental police reform on Day 1.

And this. Do you not see how ridiculous this is? Want to stop now? yahoo.com/lifestyle/biden-re…

Please read my books "Healing the Soul of America" and "The Politics of Love," check out my non-profit and lobbying experience, then get back to me about whether my career as a political commentator and thinker are "extensive." As far as my lack of experience in government, you're right! But we don't need more political car mechanics; we have plenty of those in Washington. The problem is that we're on the wrong road.

No serious political journalist thinks that ballot access in July is an issue. Our ballot access plan is solid, as it was when I ran before. (You got that ridiculous charge from a *tweet*...!)

When have I ever identified as on the right, or as extra-ideological? ("In fairness" and all)

The fact that you don't know that "I identify as a leftist" means you have not looked to my candidacy at all. At 9% in national polls at this point, it''s not true that I have no popular support. That you personally feel I have no "relevant experience" - that therefore you get to determine whether I even exist as a factor in this election - makes your legitimacy as a journalist as questionable in my mind as my legitimacy as a candidate is questionable in yours.

Thank you, Briahna

Millions of American children are set up to fail before the age of ten. This should not be the case in the richest country in the world. #Marianne2024

I did not “follow his example.” This is from January. mariannewilliamson.substack.…

There is much to be commended about the American character: an entrepreneurial spirit, a can-do sense of possibility that has often moved mountains, a rugged individualism that has led to much success. But there has always been a mean streak among us as well, a collective shadow side that has produced horrors of injustice. Individually, too often our rugged individualism has become rugged narcissism, we acquiesce within ourselves to some of the lowest human traits, and we’re willing to normalize in government and society what should be considered intolerable behavior. MLK Jr. said “we need quantitative changes in our circumstances and qualitative shifts in our souls.” Never more so than now. The first place we need to clean up is our own hearts. We need personal transformation as much as transactional political change. Without the former, the latter will not occur on any fundamental basis. And the time to work on both is now.

Plus economic policies, educational policies, criminal justice policies and more.

I suppose it comes as a shock to you, but people lie. No I’m not on a book tour; that disinformation came from someone who knows nothing about book publishing. No there is no ballot access issue here. The staff turnover on this campaign was no different than any other. And no I’m not a raging witch; that came from people on this campaign who could not honestly tell you that they ever had a cross word with me.
