Someone needs to hear this:
When you speak of people, in terms of some gross, ill-defined, or vastly diverse class (e.g. blacks, men, Republicans, liberals, foreigners, Muslims...) you express #prejudice and #bigotry.
People are individuals.
Treat us as such!
Don’t otherize.
When will Tesla navigation update the exit numbers in Massachusetts? We’ve got many new exit numbers over the past two years, but none seem to be updated yet in the onboard navigation.
Is there a place to report this or suggest updates and corrections to mapping?

Weston MA. But it could apply anywhere.
Racial justice means zoning reform. It means equity in school funding. It means more affordable housing, especially in places with little affordable housing.
It doesn’t mean police reform and then status quo for everything else.

There is no one-size-firs-all prescription.
Let’s just listen to each other, articulate concerns & grievances, work together to find resolution.
There often is a middle ground.
Let the radicals hang out in the wings.
The rest of us have work to do.
These words are inscribed on the wall at Auschwitz, where a memorial is maintained so we never forget.
Leaving most monuments in place while stating the inhumanities associated with them is a better lesson for future generations than tearing them down indiscriminately in anger.
You know, most countries celebrate their founding.
July 4th just happens to be the celebration for the USA.
Flaws and all, she is my home and origin.
I will work to make her the best she can be.
@Agelaius15 Your take on this is as reasonable as any.
I can’t fathom the point; it stretches belief that she just incidentally moved both hands into an “ok” sign at the exact moment she refers to “you incredible audience”.
It is really hard to understand that gesture in this context as anything but signaling support? of the most vile meaning to those who embrace it, and attempting to offend anyone else.
Why has pissing people off risen to an aim in itself?
@HarkinsWealth These are mostly wild on the edges of our property. Got two (2) red raspberries from cultivars transplanted from our neighbor’s old bramble.

I don’t live in hashtags.
I live in a world where I seek every day to make it a better place.
You don’t know me. Best not to make assumptions.
Offense is not the best way to describe my reaction to your post; more like disappointment.

You promulgate the prejudice you oppose!

#Democracy only works if there are #diverse voices working together.
