1/ Just had a good chat with family members. The question on the table was who will heal the nation after Trump? The answers were predictable: moderate Dems who preach acceptance and love (Pete, Booker, even Biden). But it raises another question: why is up to Dems to heal us?
2/ This president has put children in cages, abandoned our allies, insulted everyone, trafficked in racist dog whistles, defended white supremacists, destroyed the environment, given tax breaks to billionaires. He& #39;s the most divisive public figure in my life. That& #39;s on Democrats?
3/ Everyone thinks that Truth and Reconciliation in South Africa was some watered down, loving thing. It wasn& #39;t. Perpetrators had to come forward and admit every evil act they committed in detail. Who they tortured. How. Who they killed. How. How many. Why. Any gaps meant jail.
4/ (There was originally supposed to be a wealth tax, btw, to punish those who profited from Apartheid. But I digress). Perhaps that& #39;s how we can really heal in the US. Demand justice before we offer forgiveness, not the other way around.
5/ So let& #39;s get a real radical. Give me a Warren or Sanders. I want a Green New Deal. I want a wealth tax. I want to see ICE officials testify before Congress. I want someone who sends the FBI after the KKK and who shuts down racist websites. Let& #39;s have real justice in America.
6/6 Then, and only then, will real healing be possible.
