I heard a Trump admin official today bragging about all the help Trump is giving to the Latino community. As though those children separated at the border don’t exist. As though the trauma of children terrified now of the ICE raids doesn’t matter. As if we are a nation of fools.

"There’s not one U.S. city or county where someone working a 40-hr wk on min wage of $7.25 can afford to rent a modest 2-bed apartment. Minimum wage workers need to work 3 full time jobs to make modest 2-bed rental home affordable."

About our "housing crisis:" the real crisis is that the average wage earner in America can't afford to live in a suitable home. THAT is the crisis: the unbelievable betrayal of the American worker by an economic system that doesn't care, & a govt. that's been willing to conspire.

The Boyd Trio (Kristiana, Keith and Sacarria) in Chester, South Carolina, serenaded me today at the Metropolitan AME Zion Church built in 1866.

These are the 3 choices before the American people: to vote for someone who IS the oligarchy; vote for someone who ACCOMODATES to the conditions of oligarchy; or vote for someone who challenges & inspires an END to the oligarchy. Which we choose will determine America’s future.
What we call “the issues” aren’t the deeper issue. They are symptoms of a deeper cause: that the U.S. has wandered off course from a functional democracy to a dysfunctional oligarchy. Only the American people awakening to this fact will create a strong enough force to change it.
