@KellerLiub73211 Wait, I thought you attended your Florida court hearing virtually… not in person from Palm Beach? I’m struggling to keep up with the La Dolce Vita timeline here.

@wilksopinion Ikr? It's crazy.

@detectivemom_ @MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr I believe there’s a difference between anonymizing someone (‘Ms. X’) and using a slur. One is impersonal, the other is dehumanizing. We can disagree without going there.

@detectivemom_ @MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr Sorry, don't understand what you mean.

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr I've watched what’s been shared and I’m not seeing evidence of anyone ‘subverting’ anything, just people from different orgs on a call. no proof of intent or coordination. If there’s a specific clip showing actual wrongdoing, I’m open to it, but association alone isn’t evidence.

@detectivemom_ @MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr This is exactly the kind of tone we’re trying to move away from. You don’t have to agree with anyone, but name-calling shuts down any chance of a real conversation.

When it feels to you as if someone is pushing your button, realize that you are the one with a great big button out there that is just begging to be pushed. If you don’t put it out there, no one will push it. - Abraham Hicks

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr Example: After a UnityFest event sparked backlash on FB, we centered a meeting on it and invited all sides. I’m not religious, my co-chair is very much part of that community, and I learned a lot hearing different perspectives. Many times people fear what they don't understand.

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr I get why you’d be concerned. From my side, alliances really do their own thing. We’re not getting talking points or direction from the to, just the Braver Angels Way guidelines for keeping conversations constructive. Good discussion! Ty for keeping it constructive.

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr face value. I usually wait for more information and let things play out before forming a strong opinion.
And to your earlier point...whether leadership leans left or right may not matter to you, but what I see in practice is a mix of perspectives, not a coordinated agenda. 3/3

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr situations where incomplete or selectively framed information gets amplified online and drives strong reactions before facts are fully known. It happens across the spectrum; different outlets, different narratives, same dynamic.

That’s why I try not to take social media at 2/3

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr I appreciate you asking in good faith.

I can understand why people question partnerships—fair enough. Where I see a gap is assuming that overlap equals coordination or shared intent. In my experience, that just hasn’t been the case.

On “manufactured outrage,” I mean 1/3

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr Im not up on the SPLC piece, but as for leadership, it’s a broad ecosystem with conservatives, liberals, and everything in between. If it were one-sided, I’d understand the concern. That just hasn’t been my experience. (End)

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr What I’ve found far more useful is building real relationships where you can actually talk things through rationally. That’s been a lot more productive than reacting to what’s circulating online.

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr Social media tends to amplify and inflame more than inform. I try not to take anything at face value there. I usually wait for the process to play out and then look at the facts. Otherwise, it’s mostly opinion and noise.

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@MTweetingGreatA @DataRepublican @wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr Hi Tracy, I haven’t updated the page because we haven’t scheduled a new meeting yet, we’re volunteers with day jobs and life’s been busy.

On your bigger point, I get the concern about “manufactured” narratives but that can cut both ways...

[Lisa Wells @LisaWells]

@ImBreckWorsham Completely agree. It’s easy to say “you voted for this,” but it takes real integrity to step back and own it. Going against your own party or candidate is HARD and doing it publicly is even harder. People need to give some grace, ffs.
