A Fair Housing organization is leaving Twitter/X
We're Leaving X. This is Why.
After a period of reflection and an assessment of our current activity on social media platforms, the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council has decided that it will no longer participate on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The owner of X has made his personal brand synonymous with the platform, giving him outsized power to shape the conversations that happen there. His direct amplification of antisemitic messages and his tacit approval of hate speech on X is in direct conflict with the values of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council. While we hold a dual commitment to free speech and to the fight against hate, we and all others must exercise careful discernment when deciding how we hold those commitments simultaneously. We acknowledge that others may arrive at different conclusions, but in good conscience, we have determined that to participate on a platform that is so clearly out of alignment with our values would be a form of silent complicity with hate.

The Rock says multiple political parties approached him to run for President
https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/the-rock-says-multiple-political-parties-approached-him-to-run-for-presidentThe Rock says attempts have been made to get him to run for President of the United States.
During an appearance on Trevor Noah's new podcast, Dwayne Johnson was asked about a 2021 poll that claimed 46 percent of adults in the United States would support his campaign for president. According to Rock, several political parties approached him in 2022 with more research supporting the idea he would be a real contender in a presidential election.
“That was an interesting poll that happened and I was really moved by that,” Johnson said. “I was really blown away and I was really honored. I’ll share this little bit with you: at the end of the year in 2022, I got a visit from the parties asking me if I was going to run, and if I could run.”
“It was a big deal, and it came out of the blue,” Johnson continued. “It was one after the other, and they brought up that poll, and they also brought up their own deep-dive research that would prove that should I ever go down that road [I’d be a real contender]. It was all very surreal because that’s never been my goal. My goal has never been to be in politics. As a matter of fact, there’s a lot about politics that I hate.”

As my Bubbe would say…”Not so fast with the ‘never again’. They’ll be back for us sooner or later” She was right.

The sad truth about war is
For most, it is immensely devastating.
But for a few, it is incredibly profitable-including the inevitable rebuilding.
We must always do everything we can not to be manipulated into hate by those who live to destroy decency.
A Two State solution with a DMZ zone?
Maybe the DMZ zone could be inhabited by individuals of several nations, as to discourage further war?
Could that work?
