It seems to me that each of us on Twitter has the opportunity to bring a tiny bit of healing energy into our society. Or not. Why would people choose the latter?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@ReallyAmerican1 @mmpadellan I'm curious about the value of this X which seems out to 'get' the president. I long for this Xer to use their space on X as a forum for open dialogue about how best to engage in peace-building rather than spend energy on who is right and who is wrong. How do you see it?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@RealAlexJones I notice this post seems to use apocalyptic language to keep you hooked on high-stakes drama. This post seems designed to trigger high emotions for clicks rather than support reasoned dialogue around global stability.

@FurkanGozukara @piyushmittal It is possible diplomatic negotiations involve complex trade offs rather than hypocrisy. Labeling these moves as buying freedom seems to simplify a difficult reality. I worry that reducing global security to partisan talking points makes finding real solutions harder. Do you?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@OunkaOnX @piyushmittal I would find it even better if at the same time as calling for action, empathy expressed for those who have been told this law is needed to keep them safe. To me, until the fear of insecurity is acknowledged we risk having an 'us' V 'Them' and ongoing disconnection.

@EYakoby I'm curious about what is behind posting this sound bite. To me, the intent seems to be to encourage outrage and division into 'us' and 'them' and 'who is right' and 'who is wrong' which is not something I sense is good for any society. @EYakoby, do you see it differently?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@mehdirhasan @bartov_omer I too feel anger about current suffering and the need to limit Israel's state power. However to me it's vital to first express deep empathy towards Jews who have grown up feeling unsafe and insecure and for whom Zionism has given them a sense of being 'seen' and cared for.

@EricLDaugh I'm curious about the way this X is expressed. To me it's hard to have a sense you are encouraging open dialogue when you X with CAPS LOCK, multiple exclamation marks and a very short sound bite. Aren't we better as a society when we encourage reasoned dialogue not outrage?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@mazemoore I sense a dehumanizing label like 'ghoul' disconnects us. Dismissing a political opponent in this way is polarizing and keeps actual accountability out of reach. If this hostility becomes standard for public discourse, won't institutions to protect citizens erode further?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@marcorandazza @Cernovich As I see it, a free society requires moving past mockery toward respectful, serious civic engagement. Reducing faith and political identity to insults disconnects us from genuine understanding. Even when viewpoints clash, will you treat people of all backgrounds with dignity?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@VeBo1991 @Mayflower_21 As I see it, this X uses a soundbite in just the same way RFK is decrying! I'm in agreement that taking things out of context with soundbites is unhelpful. @VeBee would you be willing to stop posting soundbites yourself?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@liz_churchill10 As I see it, fraud undermines trust in essential care for vulnerable citizens and investigations are necessary. Yet I fear such broad accusations without transparency just risk the peace of mind of families using other hospice services. How do others see it?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@EricLDaugh How does a single ship transit prove agreement exists when no official text supports the president's claim? To me, it is important to value factual accuracy in these matters. Can we focus on how verifiable diplomatic transparency strengthens our standing in the region instead?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@theblaze @repeater_clough I sense this post uses a sharp, polarizing frame to simplify a complex policy debate. It seems to be designed to trigger frustration and engage us in an emotional loop rather than looking at actual data. Don't we deserve policy discussions rooted in facts, not outrage bait?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@CreasonJana @Mayflower_21 @ewarren @SenWarren I respect you feel fearful fluoride may be harmful. It concerns me too, yet this X seems to take a statement out of context. As I see it, we are all humans muddling through life together as best we can. Would it work for you to hold leaders accountable using facts not fiction?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@HawaiiGuy57 @CreasonJana @DameScorpio @ewarren @SenWarren I'm curious why you have posted this meme. Are you concerned about fluoride or simply expressing your anger about life in general? As i see it, this meme expresses a violent response which creates hostility rather than connection in this thread. Do you see it differently?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@CreasonJana @Mayflower_21 As I see it each of us on X has the opportunity to bring a tiny bit of healing energy into our society. Or not. This post seems to reduces complex issues to memes and claims of deception. Do you agree public policy debates require shared facts to function.

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@TONYxTWO I sense you have a specific view on parenting. I guess you were brought up to see the bible as the literal truth and have not yet as an adult shifted your view. I have. Would it work for you to respect I have experience of same sex parents who do a heart-warming job?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@CollinsforTX @AnnCoulter I respect you feeling angry. Fraud is a serious crime that hurts the public, and it should be prosecuted fully. However, as I see it using one criminal act by 2 individuals to castigate an entire group deepens divisions. Isn't the issue how to stop fraud?

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@AnonAgain987 @DragonSword778 I'm curious about your choice of this Fox news segment. Fiscal oversight is a legitimate concern for every citizen, yet your use of the word 'trough' and Hilton's manner disconnects me, turning discussions about public policy into an attack on the dignity of our neighbors.

[Jane #whynotbepeaceable @banfield_jane]

@MJTruthUltra I'm curious about your post. I sense that you feel anxious for the safety of children in gay relationships. I've met very well-grounded young people who have two mums or two dads. To me parenting is about commitment and love. Do you see it differently?
