We should have universal healthcare. Insulin would be free.

We’ve been trained to expect so little, politicians feel free to brag about throwing us crumbs.

Common Ground is a film I would like elected officials to watch. https://t.co/jrJpbm6kwy @QuintonLucasKC @QuintonLucasKC @RepDavids @andrewdavis @MayorTyrone

It's a follow up to the film Kiss the Ground which you can watch on Netflix. https://t.co/Kobg7pxVks

A major news outlet named Dean Phillips as Biden's only opponent. When another journalist wrote to say, "Actually, Marianne Williamson is also running," she received this reply: GROW UP.

When another political journalist mentioned my name on an Australian news program, saying that both Dean Phillips and I were Biden's opponents, they actually edited out my name!

And, of course, on CNN and MSNBC you wouldn't have any idea I'm running because to them I do not exist.

It's like the old Soviet Union around here. Yeah, you can vote for whomever you want...but the system will make sure your choices are only among those it wishes you to think of as your options. Anyone else they deem "nonviable" or "unserious."

To them, the only people "qualified" to run are those who are qualified to perpetuate and maintain the system as it is. My qualification is not in how to perpetuate the system; my qualification is in how to disrupt it.

The American People have a right to hear what each candidate would do with with the levers of power.

@Gabino_Iglesias I recently read Monsters: a Fans Dilemna by Claire Dederer about what to do with the work we love after we learn it was created by people who have behaved monstrously. It’s something I’ve struggled with.

“Love is really a recognition of truth, a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth in a way that… makes both of you light up when you recognize the quality in the other.”

Poet Robert Graves, born on this day in 1895, on love https://t.co/jLg3ikCykQ

My Dad ordered a double cheeseburger. @Applebees obviously cut single in half and stacked it.
