Aspiring. Grateful. Father. Working to nourish empathy & transform broken humanity away from the worst of who we can be. Escape plan is art and ethnobotany.

Whatever your politics, it’s refreshing to see a politician willing to support the ideas that he or she stands for carried forward by others, rather than push forward for their own personal recognition. The individual should be second to the principles.

A Sharon Olds poem from 1983, as ripe and relevant today as 40 years ago.

@bernstein_ariel @BurbridgeDuke Reminds me of people pouring out water in the desert crossing between Mexico and the US. Another video of this shows young children with flags destroying aid. The dehumanization, violence, and indoctrination of hate all around promises generations - generations - of death.

“On social media you have the illusion of social contact without having to perform the gestures that actually build trust, care, and affection. On social media, simulation replaces intimacy. There is judgment everywhere and understanding nowhere.” David Brooks

Grateful to #EmiratesScholar and #UAE #MinistryofTolerance for the invitation to speak at the Dialogue of Civilization and Tolerance. As the Minister of Tolerance HE Sheikh Al Nayahan said, “Common ground is possible when we become both astute communicators and careful listeners”

The difficulty of getting people, groups, or nations to adhere to collective agreements when conflict arises is that the “rightness of principles” dissolves under the pressure of the “righteousness of grievance”.

I will be in Ukraine one week from today
NEXTA@nexta_tv

Zelenskyy commented on the death of two foreign volunteers today in Donetsk region: "Today, near the city of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk region, Russian terrorists attacked a volunteer vehicle. A direct hit from an anti-tank missile system. As of this time, we know for sure that Anthony Ignat of Canada was killed. Unfortunately, Emma Igual of Spain is also likely to have been killed. My condolences to their families. Two other volunteers were taken to Dnipro hospitals - German citizen Mawick Ruben and Swedish citizen Johan Mathias - and they are being provided with the necessary assistance. This Russian shelling once again confirms how close the war against Ukraine is to everyone in the world who truly values human life and who believes it is the common moral duty of humanity to stop terror and defeat evil. Glory to all our warriors! Glory to all our people! I thank everyone in the world who helps Ukraine survive and protect lives! We will definitely prevail! Glory to Ukraine!"

@MeidasTouch My politics aside. We live in an era where journalism has become political. The parties "own" their media outlets. That's broken journalism. He's a political candidate. That's our system. Neither celebrate nor denigrate, but let him speak and let his speech prove his character.

@TizzyEnt Always appreciate your tweets. Focused on awareness raising of intolerance. Balanced. Intimidation and rejecting other people's identity rights is NOT our "way of life". Keep up the good work.

@AmandaTylerBJC Legitimate establishment clause concerns. Heard King Abdullah give passionate call for peace at the NPB this morning, though. While NPB advances unabashed Christian message, it pushes attendees to embrace pluralism as religious conviction. A message desperately needed by some!

What are we to make of the #NationalPrayerBreakfast and the signals it sends? Holly and I discussed the decades-old tradition and explored the questions it raises on last week’s Respecting Religion #podcast.

Caring for a harmful person = understanding their motives and seeking to shift a broken relationship to a less broken one. Aiming harm at them often reinforces/justifies their own destructiveness. End results are either a deepened mutual empathy or enmity. Consider the impact.

Does your opinion - political, social, religious, etc. - inspire you to care for people or harm them? Caring for those with whom you disagree is not = to supporting their ideas. This includes those who are doing real damage and might best be removed from interacting with others.

@elonmusk And there’s the punch line. Could have done so much with that money, changed lives in real ways, but this is the “injustice” you tackled w/ your billions…as one user used to say …sad

The path to civil violence: the ‘other’ is defined in simple, homogenous terms; ‘their’ thinking is wrong; ‘their’ beliefs are dangerous; ‘our’ beliefs and ‘their’ beliefs cannot coexist; ‘they’ are an imminent threat to ‘our’ very survival…the same language precedes genocides
Republican Accountability@AccountableGOP

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I am not going to mince words with you all. Democrats want Republicans dead and they have already started the killings." This rhetoric is dangerous and unacceptable.
