Bernie Is Out (as Expected); Damn

I cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign I cannot win and which would interfere the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour, Bernie Sanders.

Today, our movement faces a setback. But every single setback is an opportunity to push for progress. Ilhan Omar

Today, Bernie Sanders dropped out of the Primary race and I am sad, angry, scared, and feeling sort of hopeless. Maybe Biden will be a better candidate than he was in 1988 or 2008, maybe the time is right. Maybe. Right now, all I fedel is loss, all I want to do in mourn.

Strange Times: A Quote (#2)

We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate & lack. We should not return, my friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. A Tweet by Sonya Renee, Social Activist and reTweeted by Rashida Tlaib, Unbossed Congresswoman for Michigan’s 13th district.
