One of the identical Roberts twins is a MAGA Republican, the other is a liberal Democrat. But they love one another and never let politics come between them. I encourage everyone to model civility and love despite any political differences. 🇺🇸 ❤️ yahoo.com/news/articles/gen-…

Gen-Z identical twins model civility as political foes

One is MAGA, one is liberal. Both say they love each other.

Contempt got us here; only dignity can get us out — Dignity.Us

Once you put a dehumanizing label on someone, it can become not only okay to kill him, but also virtuous. We must turn away from this attitude and instead treat others with dignity.

. @TimShriver Opinion: Contempt got us here; only dignity can get us out deseret.com/opinion/2025/09/…

Opinion: We must treat our fellow Americans with dignity, not dehumanization

Contempt is the cause of our divisions and our violence. The remedy is clear: we must address our own contempt and treat others with dignity.

Political contempt isn’t just divisive, it’s dangerous. In this powerful @Deseret op-ed, Tom Rosshirt breaks down the language that leads to violence, and the steps we can all take to change course. deseret.com/opinion/2025/06/…

Opinion: How respect and dignity can slow the spread of political violence

. @TimShriver warns that dehumanizing language leads to violence. The targeted attacks in Minnesota show what’s at stake when we normalize contempt. And it’s devastating. But we are not bound to that path. We can choose another way-a way lit by courage, integrity, and the commitment to seeing the dignity in all. 💙
