President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.

Dear President Zelensky,
As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.
I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Metacognitive questions to help students cope with everyday stress 👇
1. Wait—what is the source of this feeling?
2. And how is this stress affecting me?
3. Do I need to ask for help? Who can I talk to about this?
4. What advice would I give to a friend with this problem?
