I've been getting lovely emails all morning from people of a certain generation who remember what it felt like actually belonging to movements -- Vietnam, civil rights, etc. They say what I said here: We don't have a real pro-democracy movement right now. We need one.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on...

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

People are using my father to ban truths on racism that he himself taught & that he was assassinated for exposing & working to eradicate.

Would those misappropriating him to deter truth & justice today have been among the ones trying to kill him then?

Do you really know King?

Which is why power is so focused on sustaining ignorance through firehosing propaganda that power frames as 'truth' while power bans and calls the actual truth 'indoctrination.'

A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it.

it pains me how the queer community has been turned against Marianne Williamson. her legacy has demonstrated a profound service of care in our community during terrifying times, to which we owe a debt of gratitude, respect & curiosity.

U.S. companies are now spending about 90 percent of their profits on stock buybacks and dividends for shareholders.

That means none of that money is going to workers, and none of it is being reinvested in the company's infrastructure.
