The Moral Rot of Modern Corporate Leadership: When Principles Become Performance Art

These values should be non-negotiable baseline #standards for human interaction, not #political positions:

- Treating all people with dignity and respect
- Showing compassion for those who suffer
- Promoting peace and understanding
- Protecting the vulnerable
- Seeking truth and justice

Our nation was founded on cultural, religious, and political diversity - not division. To demonize liberalism, or any good-faith viewpoint, weakens us all. We embrace our differences, work side by side to build a stronger, united future. Celebrate what unites us, don’t weaponize what divides us. 🇺🇸

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?”

“That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

Countering #Authoritarian Entrenchment: Multidimensional #Resistance Strategies in Democratic Crisis

For 50+ years, the SPLC has been at the forefront of combating hate and extremism – and we won't stop now.

Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever you can do to show courage right now — it matters more than you know. That’s especially true when leaders who are supposed to represent you aren’t living up to that responsibility.

Just as anticipatory obedience can snowball once the capitulation to authoritarian pressure begins, so too does courage inspire more courage. We cover the surprising trend giving us hope in the latest edition of our weekly briefing: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/when-leade...

Tackling climate crisis will increase economic growth, OECD research finds Third of global GDP could be lost this century if climate crisis runs unchecked, says report

If leaders focus on actively tackling the #ClimateCrisis it could improve living standards for everyone in the coming years.

And if they don’t act, climate impacts will decrease the living standards of people instead.

It’s that simple.

At least 95% vaccine coverage of 2 doses is needed to stop measles outbreaks.

At least 95% measles vaccine coverage is needed in all communities to prevent #measles and stop outbreaks.

The only way to prevent measles? Two doses of measles vaccine.

Let’s close the gap and keep measles away!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re taking everything they can get their hands on and claiming anything standing in their way is illegal.

We MUST fight back. Join our mass call for mobilizing this Tuesday:

Republicans' Social Security attacks disproportionately hurt retirees of color Trump and Musk's fake fraud stories are doing real harm—especially if you're not white and wealthy.

It's difficult to overstate how devastating these changes will be for older adults and people with disabilities.

“When Social Security is your sole source of income, losing even one month of benefits can lead to hunger, poor health, and housing precarity.”

Privilege isn’t simply the presence of perks and benefits. It’s the absence of obstacles and barriers.

Funding cuts mean essential and lifesaving healthcare services and vaccinations, among other critical health issues, have shut down, leaving thousands without treatment worldwide.

This isn’t just a policy change - it’s a death sentence.

You can’t win an argument against someone who lies, cheats, and steals. If you stoop to their level, even once, everyone loses. Stay rooted in civility, honesty, and the evidence—it’s the only way to preserve integrity and create real, lasting change. #StayStrong #CivilityMatters

We can do better. Being #civil doesn’t mean letting yourself be trampled upon. Being #kind doesn’t mean letting lies go unanswered. Non-violence doesn’t mean you don’t defend yourself (self-defense is not a violence). These require #strength.

#Cycles #Hatred #Anger #Violence

Where did I say to stay silent or bow down? The only option is civility, honesty, truth, and evidence. They do not act in good faith so we must never give them anything else, which forces them to continue lying about everything.
