1/ There are many facets to the social & political awakening occurring now, not the least of which is the #wallofmoms phenomenon in Portland. A wall of moms should defend our kids against all kinds of injustice, and when we do this country will never be the same.
2/ Our economic system was designed before women had a voice in the public realm. But we have a voice now. Sometimes the issue of power is not how much we have so much as how much we’re in the habit of using, how much we’re ready to permit ourselves to express.
3/ Imagine what the country will be like when we advocate for the long term well-being of our children as forcefully as health ins, Big Pharma, NRA, Big Ag, Oil & Gas, defense contractors, banks etc advocate for their short term profits. Nothing could change things more quickly.

In 1776, 56 brave men signed the Declaration of Independence. If the British had won the war, they would’ve all been hanged as traitors against the king of England. /1
The signers audaciously posited that all men are created equal and that all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That ideal was profoundly revolutionary; a step forward for humanity spiritually and morally as well as politically. /2
Thus something beautiful was done and something evil was exposed. For 41 of the 56 signers of the Declaration were slave owners, embodying the essential struggle that has been the story of the U.S. from our very beginning. /3

The idea that there is wisdom within every person, that when we’re educated and well informed we can pool our intelligence and come up with good answers for how to govern ourselves more often than not…1/5
that is the power of democracy. 2/5
Primaries matter for that reason.
To hear the establishment so bent out of shape because they don’t know what to do about Biden - when they themselves did not allow people to work it out among ourselves in a fair democratic primary process - is beyond annoying. 3/5

What has happened to this country that the notion of government existing to serve people has become so suspect? How were we so easily conned by the purveyors of economic oppression? 1/4
When I was growing up, the biggest cliché in politics was to say the goal was “peace and prosperity.” Politicians don’t even use that phrase anymore - but not because it’s a cliché. They don’t use it anymore because that’s no longer their goal. 2/4
Peace and prosperity are not the goal when *big business* is the goal. War is much bigger business than peace, and when an economy works as ours does today then prosperity for the donor class equates with a lack of prosperity for everyone else. 3/4

The DNC is at it again…

We discovered the Massachusetts Democratic Party intends to include only Joe Biden as their primary candidate on the MA ballot. 1/4
@stevekerrigan Dem Chair Steve Kerrigan’s misplaced attempt at protecting Joe Biden robs Massachusetts Democrats of their voice and choice in the upcoming election.

This action is a flagrant violation of DNC rules and process. 2/4
I have actively campaigned in Massachusetts.

@SecretaryofMass has the discretion to include FEC filed candidates who’ve received national media coverage, which I have. We hope Secretary of the Commonwealth will protect Massachusetts voters from the @MassDem’s attempt at circumventing democracy.

The level of chaos happening in the world - including in this country - is not normal. Stress points long pushed to the limit have given way. We are experiencing the eruption of dysfunctional energies now overwhelming levies that for decades have kept them at bay. 1/6
It’s no longer a matter of warning that something is going to blow; things are blowing now. And they are going to land in one way direction or the other. They will either land in the direction of greater democracy, justice and love - or they will fall in the direction of chaos, authoritarianism and violence. 2/6
This is not a moment to simply wait and see; it is a moment to grab hold of history. It is a moment to realize we can and must change. We will either wisely and proactively move in the direction of much greater hope for far more people, or we will be forced to move in whatever direction that forces beyond our control are leading to. 3/6

When I talk about a progressive policy the president ignored or abandoned, someone always jumps in to say, “But he didn’t have the votes to pass it! You have to have Congress!”🧵
True in some cases (Build Back Better)… but let’s be clear:

Manchin and Sinema did not make Biden approve the Willow project, or grant more oil drilling permits than even Trump did.

The parliamentarian had no actual political power to stop Biden from raising the minimum wage… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The president could introduce a Medicare4All bill, use marching rights to lower certain drug prices and unilaterally close some of those 750 military installations around the world * if he wanted to.*
