Changing your mind when evidence warrants it helps you grow, but some are afraid to admit they were wrong. Check out this posting Psychology Today:
psychologytoday.com
Why Changing Your Mind Is a Critical Strength Not a Weakness

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Just saw Stephen Miller outside Tysons Mall getting into a car with his security Told him to his face that he's hurting American families. He didn't look up and his security told me I need to keep moving. I was with my son and holding a Lego bag. These men are weak, cruel cowards.

Maddow is calling what’s happening with non-white anchors at MNSBC a bad mistake, unnerving, worse than bad, and indefensible. And she calls the dozens of producer layoffs “not the right way to treat people, inefficient, and unnecessary.”

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.
