The results are striking. Denmark now has the lowest bullying rates in Europe and is consistently ranked among the happiest countries in the world. Empathy education clearly proves that emotional intelligence is not a soft extra, but a core pillar of a healthy and well-functioning society.

👇 Many Congress members are too old to have children exposed to lockdown drills and shootings. We must vote out anyone unwilling to value our children over our guns.
"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

I don't know how anyone can deny or downplay the rise in antisemitic violence when 15 people are murdered + dozens more wounded in a terrorist attack that targeted the Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah. To deny the rise in violent antisemitism is to be entirely untethered from reality.
