A U.S. Department of Peace is a major step in dismantling America’s systemically entrenched culture of violence.
Health is not the absence of sickness; sickness is the absence of health. And peace is not the absence of war; war is the absence of peace. It takes just as much strategy and sophistication to wage peace as it takes strategy and sophistication to wage war, if war is necessary.
The key to our economic future lies in uncapping the dreams and releasing the spirit of the American people. My interview on PolitiKing:
It’s absurd to think the mindset which wreaked such havoc in the 20th century should be our guidance system in the 21st. The head separated from the heart, and the intellect separated from love, represent a spiritually diseased state from which humanity must heal.
“Not taken seriously by professional politicos” simply means not acknowledged by club members who think membership should be limited. The only thing that ultimately matters to a candidate is being taken seriously by voters.
The days of the tough cowboy leading us into reckless war and then being lauded for his strength are over. What must emerge now is an age of proactive peacebuilding, where we fortify the factors statistically proven to increase peace and reduce conflict. #wagepeace
Love, not economics, should be society’s bottom line. I know there are those who think it’s naïve to say the most important thing is for us to more deeply love each other. But what’s naïve is to think humanity will last another hundred years on this planet if we do not.
“The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, well-being & dignity. It is a decision she must make for herself. When govt controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.” - RBG
“At a time when the leftward drift of the Democratic Party is regularly in the news, she is by any measure the most rigorously progressive candidate in the field of 23.”
My interview with 1a today. Policy, principles, and why my qualifications are as good as anyone’s.

I agree with Booker & Harris: it’s time to up the fight against NRA obstruction towards common sense gun safety legislation. We MUST AND WILL have universal background checks, outlaw bump stocks & ban military assault weapons. Also why I think we should lower the voting age to 16
Tune in to @1a now! Looking forward to discussing our vision for the country with @jejohnson322 https://the1a.org/audio/live
