The right to protest and criticize the government is inalienable. No matter who you are. No matter what side you’re on. There’s no but.

We hold these truths to be self-evident… that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights… among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness… whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...

We need to try harder to accept the willingness to care beyond our own self-interest. The world need us now more than ever ✊🏼

I’m trying to imagine both of them. In general. Because they’re nowhere to be found. I already forgot what they look like. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

@karaswisher.bsky.social @profgalloway.com The reason he’s doing that is ‘cause he’s an idiot. Nobody cares what he says. Please keep speaking up.

There is a kind of leadership that builds.

And there is a kind that burns everything down just to stand atop the ashes.

It is of existential importance that we pay attention ⬇️ 1/2

Some final thoughts on today’s show… on the free press in America. The free press is only “crumbling” if we the people allow that to happen. Watch:

“Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft, which helps make compassion possible.”

📌 Between now and January, 31, 2025, I will be completing the data collection phase. The survey only takes 15–20 minutes. Your contribution is anonymous, with no risk to privacy.

📌 Objectives:
1. Create a cultural/philosophical time capsule for future generations.
2. Understand how people define/ experience the “best” of being human.
3. Explore how these qualities manifest in life/leadership/business.
4. Identify universal themes/values that transcend cultures and contexts.

Inviting you to participate in my research project. May we never forget: we, humans, are the most sophisticated technology to ever exist. While AI accelerates around us, our shared humanity remains irreplaceable. Link to survey here: forms.gle/We6JkNwsZCYv... 🩵
