Facts, matter, truth matters, civility matters, intelligent discourse matters. As 2024 approaches we must continue to seek opportunities to bring people out of their echo chambers and return to factual, and truthful discussions at work, and in the public eye. Peace, Love, and Joy to you all

Have you ever wondered about Cyrillic and its origins or what it looks like? Below you can read the story, and see the original symbols and the ones we're using today (FYI the transition between the two happened very early in its creation)
Today is a special public holiday for us in Bulgaria, the birth of our alphabet. The two brothers, Cyril and Methodius, created our alphabet in the IX century. They are both regarded as the country’s patrons of education and culture. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared them co-patron saints of Europe. The Cyrillic alphabet is used today in 12 Slavic countries in Eastern Europe and Northern and Central Asia, as well as in non-Slavic countries, such as Mongolia, which adopted it in the 1940s. Celebrate with us :)

https://lnkd.in/d4ebSMbP Wouldn't it be wonderful to finally have an end to all wars? What can the next US President do to end America's appetite for violence? How can the U.S. divorce itself from a reliance on big corporations for jobs and put an end to financial greed? In what ways can the next President encourage Congressional and state government support for families and communities, end doxing and polarization, and increase respect and appreciation for diversity and pluralism? Will the next President support the passage of H.R. 40 and commit to reparations owed to Black Americans, having suffered under the laws and policies of chattel slavery, Jim Crow, and the War on Drugs? The world needs a better and more honest America. You will make the choice soon. The future of a civilized, free and peaceful world depends on your choice.

What confounds many of us who love #America is why this type of behavior is considered tolerable and even positive by those who support Donald #Trump. This flag, which was marched through our nation's Capitol on January 6th, 2020, represents secession from the United States of America by people who considered Black Americans inferior and suitable only as property rather than as unified in #humanity. Even sadder is the fact that many claimants to #Christianity abided and abetted that horrific #worldview. Sadder still is that so many #Christians today appear to support this brand of #politics and #religion. Calling advocates of #racism and #whitesupremacy "good people" is the opposite of what #Jesus ever taught. But perhaps because some of the Founding Fathers approved of #slavery and #prejudice several hundred years it is okay to abet anachronistic #originalism? What that leads to is #fascism. This photo is not #fakenews. Instead it is evidence of the horrific #reality we're facing today with a #Republican party run by #authoritarian opponents of #democracy and the #republic it supports. Defending the indefensible is how it's all happening.

We can be critical of Kamala Harris positions and how she has addressed certain issues without being anti-Black. The genocide of the Palestinian people is an incredibly important issue to many of us. We want the US to stop funding Israel and giving them weapons. We want children to live. We want families to stay in tact. We want peace. However….. Seeing some of the replies to a post that I wrote, they feel anti-Black and racist. African-American men and women have supported the plight of nearly every people that has immigrated here (due to the policies we fought for) and nearly every people who has fought discrimination and bigotry across the world. Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Panthers are examples of this. Many African-American men and women on LinkedIn are examples of this. To write anti-Black rhetoric is to spit in our faces. Anti-Blackness is never the answer. Please do better. #kamalaharris #race #palestine #blackpeople #unity
