More hope, less despair, we need to help others understand our democracy and not insult others in the way DJT does.

Why are there Jewish Democrats? That’s what I wanna know. The Jews have become antisemitic and yet some of these Jewish folks who should be ahead of the curve are lagging way behind and continuing to be part of the antisemitic party

This provides space for understanding the more immediate steps, calls for action and alarm bell ringings that dominates most online conversations. 🙏

Sisan, I am an art with an Etsy shop. I’d like to use it to fight Trump . How can I join forces with other artists?

That is so true if we turn on each other we will lose. That has what the progressive agenda back forever.

Good question. We need a coalition that exists beyond traditional parties. This is something altogether different. We are creating something new. We are creating power with, not power over. A better world needs an altogether new vision. This is an incredibly creative moment politically and spiritually.

Exactly right. ICE is pissing most normal people off.

We need a spiritual base. That is different from religion.I’m thinking about a values/ethical / integrity -based movement. The. Civil rights movement or any other movement for human freedom and justice cannot rely on policy alone. Your have got to ignite the human spirit.

Take a look at The Beacon and Shine the Light. Exactly what you are suggesting. Also, Moral Mondays.

Thank you. Is The Beacon and Shine the Light on Substack? I love this interview. We need to consolidate our people power. I’m convinced it’s there but it’s scattered ❤️🐿️
