I’m so PROUD of Democrats! We held off the “red wave” & Biden did something no POTUS since 1934 by gaining seats in the Senate & governors! Record turnout by Black, Gen Z, women, AAPI voters! GOP hates multiracial, multigenerational USA!!! #FreshResists #ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #wtpBlue

That's not intolerance. That's not some kind of paradox. That's not "the limits of tolerance."

It's simply that the point of "tolerance" — or rather affirmation of differences — is to eliminate hatred, not protect it. The only people who feel threatened by an open and diverse society are those who want to impose their views and ideology—whether it's fascism, communism, capitalism, christianity, islam, or anything else—on others. It's about freedom to be, not freedom to make others be something.

All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.

I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

In case you wondered where he disappeared to...

WSJ
The Biden administration warned Friday that military ties between #Russia & #Iran were expanding into “a full-fledged defense partnership” & said the two nations were considering establishing a joint production line to provide lethal drones in Russia
The U.S. said it believed Iran was considering selling hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia, & described the military relationship between the two nations as moving beyond simply Iran supplying drones to Russia for use in the war in #Ukraine

I'm pretty sure this has been reported & posted here already, but i just gotta do it again.

It's too sweet not to repeat. 😆
