Through my facilitation and writing, I seek to find common ground on contentious issues.

@JohnHMcWhorter Agreed, John. Now tell us why you capitalize “Black.”

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@WorldBank Typo at beginning of first sentence

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@IRLILaw @AndrewSaysTV @theblaze You’re quoting NBC news here, so I guess the MSM is still capable of truthful reporting.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@TheBTI Good recommendations

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@RobGramlichDC Terrific webinar.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@timelywriter @AP Terrific story, very informative about the challenge of building new generation and how state leaders from both parties are proposing what would have been almost inconceivable just a couple years ago.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@harleyf @bariweiss Gruesome, awful

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@ChristianCent @braverangels Yes, it’s healthy for us personally and for our communities and country when we engage our political “opponents” in real conversation, listening and asking genuinely curious questions

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@PDeniseLong Good point

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@UssamaMakdisi @AhmadFaruqui I do mourn the deaths in Gaza and Lebanon, and I blame Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian leadership—they started the war, they knew how Israel would respond, and they could end it by giving up the hostages and surrendering the perpetrators of Oct 7.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@RebeccaSolnit I mention your book often for what it says about humanity and our capacity/instinct to help one another

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@elonmusk True, alas.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@ncdd @IFTalks This is important work

@GregTSargent @David_J_Bier Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy enforced late spring 2019. At same time, he pressured AMLO to halt CA migrants at Mexico’s southern border. I worked in El Paso and Juarez before and after RIM and saw the change; did not support but it was effective. Biden reversed RIM.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@AhmadFaruqui Hamas knew how Israel would react to Oct 7. They could have ended it at any point by releasing the people they kidnapped and turning the over the masterminds and perpetrators of Oct 7.

@cduhigg Important observation

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@MarkLRuffalo My AA sponsor said he used to tell his lovers, “darling I’m falling in love with you. Will you be my wife?” But what he really meant, he said, was, “Darling I’m falling in fear with you. Will you be my mother?”

@EdLatimore @StartsWithUs There’s an art to doing this well. Usually I get it wrong by being too eager to correct errors or challenge biases. Braver Angels teaches a useful formula for doing this—which I rarely remember at the right times.

@mollyesque Terrific story: hopeful yet realistic. I love the line from the Bridge CEO about the divide in GenZ not being between left and right but extreme and moderate.

[Jim Hight @JimHight1]

@McConaughey Yes. Thank you for reminding us.
