We lead with kindness because it’s our baseline, not a liability. And even with this loud war on empathy, we’re not buying the lie that caring is optional.
World Kindness Day is about refusing to let cruelty set the tone. We’re staying human on purpose.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.
