Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment?
Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion?
This is the choice before us.
America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches.
But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.
When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.
Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American.
We are way past political and ideological disagreements.
What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights.
Without it, we cease to be America.
