My latest newsletter is out! Check out my latest book, and remember that #Empathy is a great gift for the holidays. My next event is with Bryan Alexander's Future Trends Forum on December 11th! lnkd.in/e79HD26Z

Empathy is the perfect holiday gift

You may have heard that empathy is under attack. Apparently some folks think that understanding the feelings of others is bad for us.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

Prosecute Renée Nicole Good’s Murderer

The ICE agent who killed Renée Nicole Good not only can be held accountable for murder—he must be.

Jumaane Williams choked up as he told little Black boys they deserve to be loved.

Zohran spoke of a constituent who said the campaign had made room for softness in people’s hearts.

Three generations sang “Over the Rainbow” and “Bread and Roses.”

Another politics is possible—and it’s here. ❤️

They aren’t learning from what is happening in the UK, either. Starmer is setting things up for a big Labor loss.

“We may hold different identities and experiences and are unsure where to start because of these differences. We may feel like we do not have the power or capacity to contribute to change. There is a place to start and that is Radical Empathy.”

Those of us who study this stuff have been saying it over and over…taking on the policies of the far right further enables them. I was in a discussion yesterday in Bristol and have to agree that Labor is opening the door for Farage.
