Really enjoyed this discussion between @pkrugman.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social. Something Paul said that I want to highlight: negativity bias affects both right and left. I discuss this in my book as well. Some thoughts.

For some students, the Brown massacre was the SECOND school shooting they’ve had to endure

That’s heartbreaking

And unacceptable

We are failing our youth. Badly.

We can do better
We MUST do better
Because they DESERVE better

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

All the hawks who led US into the disastrous war in Iraq and Afghanistan fell up in life. They're still on TV and writing columns and advising elected officials. Very few ever apologized. The same people are here now as Trump leads US into another reckless war with Iran.

Bravo👏🏻👏🏻🥹❤️
In 1999 Roberto Benigni won Oscars for his film, Life is Beautiful, in which he starred as an Italian Jewish man who, along with his young son, becomes victim of the Nazi Holocaust. It is beyond gratifying to hear him speak so passionately against Israel's genocide in Gaza. Bravo Roberto! 👏👏👏
