Rich countries do civil wars with tweets and votes.
Van Jones
Basically, we all just had to live in the Trump reality television show, and now we're kind of stuck there for at least four years. Maybe eight.
Van Jones
There's a lot of things that I think you got to deal with. Hillary Clinton had to put down a rebellion in her own party, then she's going to have to put down the [Donald] Trump rebellion and then try to govern.
Van Jones
There's the God within and the God without, and you have to attend to the alignment of the two of them.
Van Jones
Environmental justice is the movement to ensure that no community suffers disproportionate environmental burdens or goes without enjoying fair environmental benefits.
Van Jones
The Love Army is a growing network of people who want to stick up for the underdogs in the red states and blue states in the era of [Donald] Trump.
Van Jones
We need to think bigger, dream bigger, and get bigger.
Van Jones
Local politics matters a lot.

Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Here's an issue where his concern is this line with public opinion, but the way he deals with it is actually puts him in a super minority in terms of people who are able to somehow bring himself to support his language and demeanor.

People care. Their hearts are open, but people don't know exactly what the Dreamers are going through, or what sanctuary cities are for, or what's positive about the American Muslim community. When you don't know a lot, you can't do a lot.
Van Jones
For me, I think that the struggle around how to deal with Islam in the United States is the defining moral struggle of this half of the new century.
Van Jones
The dirty energy crowd can be offset only by the power of the rising clean energy sector and the American people, aroused across party lines.
Van Jones
You know it's not you have to see it to believe it - sometimes you have to believe it to see it. You have to know what you're looking for when you're seeing signs of an authoritarian takeover of your country.
Van Jones
Businesses will have to lead the charge - demanding uniform, national, predictable rules to govern this transition, so that there is a level and rational playing field on which they can compete to make the next fortunes.
Van Jones
If all we are for is black people and white people who like black people, then I have nothing to say to Trump who is only for white people and black people who like him.
Van Jones
When it gets harder to love, love harder.
Van Jones
A one-sided analysis of anything always leads you into the wrong direction.
Van Jones
The Whitehouse is talking different because we are walking different
Van Jones
I'm not going to let Donald Trump take away from our community, something that Fannie Lou Hamer shed blood to give us. Something that Ella Jo Baker braved conditions in the South and sweatshops in Harlem to give us.
Van Jones
We have gotten to the point where we're more like [Donald] Trump than Trump. Trump is hateful. Now you have liberals hating on love. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. There's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes you have to fight fire with water. I'm happy to fight it either way.
