87% of Americans think polarization is a threat to our country, and 59% are dissatisfied with our current political climate. H.B. 6843, the Building Civic Bridges Act introduced by @RepDerekKilmer, prioritizes building civic bridges for our future #ListenFirst

That’s right! 👇

@BridgeUSA_ Listen with the intend to understand what the person is trying to tell you. Don’t focus just on the exact meaning of the spoken word. Try to imagine the bigger/whole image based on their expression. Not everyone is able to express themselves perfectly.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.

It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

Agree to disagree 👇

[Tom Suozzi @RepTomSuozzi]

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is not only a good person, she is a Member of the United States Congress. She & I don’t agree on certain issues, but the attack on her by Rep. Gosar is reprehensible! I stand by Rep. Ocasio Cortez & other members of Congress & vote to censure Rep. Gosar.

Political divides so entrenched they touch every aspect of our lives: "A new poll shows a 25-point margin between those who identify as Republican and Democrat who are fully or partially vaccinated."

Like the #LehighValley, many other places in America suffer from deep polarization. Local newspapers want to help turn the tide by focusing on local news @DesertSunNews https://t.co/NFqiNFh8oA

It is difficult for people empathize with one another past a certain point. It's especially difficult when our disagreements are not merely academic but threaten to have consequences in the world.

Master understanding anyway. There is difficulty. But there is no down side.
