It’s not just guns on our streets that’s the problem. Violence begins with violence in our hearts, violence in our speech, even violence in our thoughts. 2/4

Anything any of us can do on any given day to be gentler and more peaceful than we were the day before, is a step in the right direction. 3/4

Public policies - from environmental regulations to foreign affairs to animal protection - are examples of collective decision-making in the direction of either violence or peace. 4/4 marianne2024.com/issues/anim…

It’s an ideology. Look at all the violent cities we have. They all share the same idealogy 💁‍♂️

You can’t force every individual to not be violent. People have free will, we can’t stop people from doing drugs, you can’t just legislate harmony.

you should make the conscious decision to be nonviolent by calling israel what it is, a colonial apartheid state. maybe then you'll win my vote.
