During the day, I am a candidate for Congress.
At night, I wait tables. I know what working class Wisconsinites need and I am tired of us lacking true representation in D.C. That’s why I’m running.
Can you retweet this, give me a follow, and help me defeat Derrick Van Orden?
In the 1980s, musician Daryl Davis set out to understand the Ku Klux Klan. So he started befriending members at Klan rallies and joined an all-white country band.
Then, he met Imperial Wizard Roger Kelly. Davis spent years building a relationship with Kelly, establishing trust and, eventually, a friendship.
They ate meals at each others' homes while Davis listened to Kelly, seeking to see how he could hate a person like Davis without even knowing him.
Eventually, Kelly started listening to Davis and left the Klan altogether, giving Davis his robes and hood. And over the past decades, Davis has now convinced over 200 former Klan members to walk away.
@Ar5ham_@OliviaAmatoNYC Nice article in the link, @Ar5ham_. Although a lot of what is in the article is common sense, as a friend of mine once said, "Common sense isn't all that common."
@OliviaAmatoNYC 😀 have been without a working dishwasher for half a year now, waiting on post-pandemic supply-chain issues to get the right replacement (new one's coming soon). Now, putting away the clean dishes is the easy part! 😉 Sometimes, the change in perspective is worth the discomfort.
If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.
The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.
@FlairBreakfast@OliviaAmatoNYC Sorry? ;-) So, if it's too much effort to say "I am sorry, I sincerely regret ...", you can just say "I'm sorry", or show even less effort with the single-word response "sorry", or, if two whole syllables is still too much effort to respect another human, you can say "soz".
