When one government agency is allowed to use armed force to infiltrate and take over a separate government agency, at the request of DOGE, this should be terrifying to everyone. This is not normal.

My theory isn’t that every one of those is a universally accepted idea, only that more of those are held in common than not.
What do we think? 11/11

- Conversely, every person is capable of appraising and learning from errors in our own or others' judgement and action.
- Seeking growth through the mutual examination of those errors is more productive than exercises in debate. 10/11

- Experiencing and acknowledging our errors is vital to our own understanding and growth.
- Refusal to acknowledge any errors in our judgement or action makes growth impossible.
- Refusal to allow for errors in judgement or action from others also makes our own growth impossible. 9/11

- The undervaluing of labor, and overvaluing of capital, leads to the idealization of an unsustainable system, and leads to a focus of power within a small, non-representative minority of capital holders.
- Every sentient, self-aware organism has the capacity to make mistakes. 8/11

- The primary function of systems of healthcare and healthcare providers should not be to obtain profit. 7/11

- Valuing capital or profit over human life is inhumane and cruel.
- Equating financial value with the value of humanity is inaccurate and a false equation. Money and currency are only a symbol of value as comparable to the value of goods or commodities. Humanity has actual, inherent value. 6/11

- Cruelty, however, is never the correct or ethical response to any circumstance.
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) processes and policies do not equal more slices taken from an already small pie. They equal everyone having access to a larger pie. It's a gift, not a threat. 5/11

- Kindness is not weakness. In most instances, when confronted with overwhelming force or aggression, stepping back and practicing kindness can be the bravest, strongest action to take.
- Kindness is not always the correct or ethical response to overwhelming force or aggression. 4/11

- Kindness and support are not finite resources. Kindness and support of others doesn't diminish the kindness and support available for our own. Practicing kindness for wider and wider populations teaches us how to have a greater capacity for both. 3/11

- Firstly, none of those things that I believe is a valid basis on which to predicate the value of any human. Nor are those beliefs of anyone else.
- Facts, on the other hand, matter. Quantifiable, verifiable truth matters. 2/11

I have a theory that, underlying those arguments that are ever more prevalent (not solely political), people actually agree on more than they think.
To dig into that theory, I'm outlining some of those fundamental things that I believe: 1/11

I have always been proud working for eBay. I am proud of their efforts for their global community. From recognizing my partnerships, before any legal obligation to, to prioritizing inclusion/equality, I couldn't be prouder.

"One thing that I would like to get across is that even the most horrible events do have explanations that we can understand. And it's not always comfortable for us to understand, because in order to understand, we have to see how we're not so far away from the people in question."
