Imagine looking at the federal budget and thinking to yourself: Let's gut Medicare, slash Social Security, and defund the Special Olympics so we can buy more tanks we don't need and make the rich even richer.
Yet these are the people now in charge of our government.
The President defended Neo-Nazis who murdered a woman in Charlottesville.
The Dept of Justice sued him for not renting to Black tenants.
He launched his campaign by calling Mexicans “rapists.”
He banned Muslims.
The President is racist. And that should make you uncomfortable.
We do not need to waste billions on an unneeded wall so that Trump can appease right-wing extremists.
We need to create millions of good-paying jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure — roads, bridges, water systems, rail and affordable housing.
We must forcefully reject hatred and violence by reaffirming the democratic principles that have guided America through dark times before. It starts with exercising the right to vote, the most powerful nonviolent expression of our resolve.
A #FreePress is the red beating heart of American democracy. Today this clarion call rings forth from all corners of our nation -in defiance of those who would stifle it- thanks to an effort led by the @BostonGlobe. I lend my voice courtesy of @TheAtlantictheatlantic.com/politics/arc…
People inflict pain on others in their selfish pursuit of happiness and satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a sense of universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.
50 years ago today, I learned the painful news that my friend, my mentor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis, TN. He was my brother, my leader--that day it felt like something died in all of us.
News anchors looking into camera and reading a script handed down by a corporate overlord, words meant to obscure the truth not elucidate it, isn't journalism. It's propaganda. It's Orwellian. A slippery slope to how despots wrest power, silence dissent, and oppress the masses.
Tomorrow night: a discussion on one of the biggest issues facing our country—the likes of which you'd never see in the mainstream media. I hope you will tune in. facebook.com/events/19717182…
The real way to make our workforce more competitive and boost wages is to invest more in the education and skills of American workers, not massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations.
Karma means action and action motivated by compassion is good. To complain that what happens to you is just the result of your karma is lazy. Instead, confidently recalling the advice that, "You are your own master," you can change what happens by taking action.
Upton Sinclair said "The rich people not only had all the money, they had all the chance to get more; they had all the knowledge and the power, and so the poor man was down, and he had to stay down."
Times don't change much.

Need further proof that the Republican tax bill is a massive giveaway to the largest corporations? The Republican tax bill hands 15 corporations a $236 billion tax break. sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/…
