Kfir may not even be alive, we don’t know. Mohammad is very much alive, because Israel does not execute convicted terrorists. No words.

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak. The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership. We can do this. More:

For two years layoffs have been hanging over my head. Finally they issued a layoff schedule and this year was going to be the year. Will I go down end of Q1? End of Q3? Will I make it to Q4? All are possible. I had my peace with it. Then new boss decides to get creative with performance reviews.

We now know UnitedHealth—under Brian Thompson—illegally overcharged cancer patients for meds by more than 1000%. What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result? What we demand to know is why that act isn't deemed corporate murder & where are the arrests?

Current manager is making me reflect on previous manager, and how some advice sets you up to fail. Previous manager: This is your lane. Stay firmly in it. I will be extremely annoyed if you leave it. Also previous manager: where is the evidence that you have developed enough to exit your lane?

When we are motivated by love & compassion fear cannot control us. Compassion is a strength not a weakness. By pulling others up we all become stronger, by tearing others down we all become weaker. Obedience is for the mindless, unable to connect to their heart. When the heart rules love rules.
