« I wish human culture would be on a linear path towards a better society, with higher moral values and more respect toward each other. An optimistic route through history that leads to more equality, individual freedom, support for those who need it, peace, prosperity, and a world where kindness is the norm and not the exception.

But at best, it's a process of two steps forward and one step back. »

I find your text very informative and this paragraph sums it also. Thanks.

I agree that Rosa Parks and other courageous heroic women and men ought to be honored daily...not vacuous billionaires and soulless media personalities. I was approved to join Post today. It feels great to have a backup to my @RealMonkeyCat Twitter account.

Thank you for a perfect remembrance of this heroic woman, Rosa Parks. Imagine the courage of this woman in the years ago era she stood up for herself and her oppressed brothers and sisters.

You can always be trusted to use your voice and pen for honoring the good and righteous among us and not hesitating to call out the worst. We seem to have far too many of the latter in these very worrisome days.

You have apparently become one of Elon Musk’s victims and his petty manipulations prove what a small man he is aligning himself with those who are taking backward steps.

Excellent writing!

It's true. Your tweets are hidden. We've been following each other for 10 years but in the past year or more your tweets are hidden from me. I have to go to your profile to read and retweet and like.

"We shall not be moved. Just like a tree planted by the waters, we shall not be moved." Thank God for Rosa Parks and her immovable grace & strength.

It seems Kanye West has once again been suspended from Twitter for hate speech & inciting violence. I really hope Kanye fades into a nothingness vacuum; his echo chamber silenced by voices such as Rosa Parks & other heros standing for justice & freedom. Good riddance.

Thanks for the reminder Alex that America is so much more than hate speech, division and guns.
