🌍🎶🏏 #BridgeTheDivide #HumanConnection These cultural & sporting connections, though fragile, are incredibly invaluable. They *must* be nurtured, esp during times of animosity, to foster peace & mutual respect.

Cenk is not normalizing it, he is telling the truth. Once we all come together and realize Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative are all just labels used to separate us. We learn we actually have a lot more in common than we think. Israel is our enemy. #BridgeTheDivide

Fusion voting softens the sharp edges of partisanship. 🤝 @donhineman.bsky.social @unitedkansas.bsky.social

When parties can align on shared goals, candidates build coalitions—instead of burning bridges. More unity, less division. #FusionVoting #BridgeTheDivide #MoreVoicesMoreChoices

No it would help #BridgeTheDivide and bring us closer together by moving on toward things we agree on. Surely Democrats want collaboration for finding common ground! How can they lose? #DropTheSuit #Solutions

And you find, you're still an ass
There's more work to do

I’m thinking about how the most powerful thing humans ever built wasn’t weapons—it was cooperation. What new stories can we tell that make us partners, not opponents? #PartnershipCulture #BridgeTheDivide”

Parties and dogma
Set them down for this moment
Beyond the darkness

I dont seek glory
I hope to see you all well
We can still be friends

Peace ✌️

Somedays this heaven feels like hell
We feel desperate and all so alone
Get outside, start helping your neighbors.
It may be that heaven is home.

Peace ✌️

Change can be slow and painful
And the process daunting and long.
Sometimes we need to feel shameful.
To see our errors and wrongs.

Peace ✌️

#bridgethedivide #peace #love #egalitarian #CommunityUnity #dailypractice #dailypoetry

If we can not change, we are destined for defeat
We need to see our neighbors as our lovers
Or the same mistakes will repeat.

Peace ✌️

Helping those in need
Is where our attention should go.
You'll forget about your worries,
That live inside your head.
Please find a compassionate spirit,
Before your soul is dead.

Peace ✌️

There's enough to go around.

Mediate for those that pray.
Pray for those that meditate.
We're not so different after all.
