You can have empathy for Palestinian children who are killed amid war AND empathy for Israeli children who were killed on October 7th.

You can express concern for the Israeli hostages being held in Gaza AND for Palestinian civilians who are suffering.

Don't lose your humanity.

Everyone has the right to believe anything they want. And everyone else has the right to believe that those beliefs are fucking ridiculous. Cheers.

A Marine stands guard while a brave young child dies.

Every now and then, in the middle of the constant barrage of crap that’s just pissing us all off these days, we come across a story, a feat, an event that just makes us stop in our tracks. This was one for me.

Cody Green was a 12-year kid in Indiana who was diagnosed with leukemia at 22 months old. He loved the Marines, and his parents said he drew strength and courage from the Marine Corps as ... he bravely fought the battle into remission three times. Although he was cancer-free at the time, the chemotherapy had lowered his immune system and he developed a fungus infection that attacked his brain. Two weeks ago, as he struggled to fend off that infection in the hospital, the Marines wanted to show how much they respected his will to live, his strength, honor and courage. They presented Cody with Marine navigator wings and named him an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps.

For one Marine, that wasn't enough ... so that night, before Cody Green passed away, he took it upon himself to stand guard at Cody's hospital door all night long, 8 hours straight.

Nowhere on the face of this planet is there a country so blessed as we to have men and women such as this.

It would mean a lot to me if you'd read this piece I wrote for @TheFP @bariweiss: https://t.co/AQBYfEglUM Much more personal than ones I normally write! And filled with a bit of mom rage: what are the wealthiest moms getting wrong? Why are so many of them so damn high-strung?

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Hamas and Islamic Republic are terrorists, and they do not talk for the people of Iran or Palestine.
The whole situation in Israel and Gaza is an incredible tragedy.
While this is a proxy war by the Islamic Republic and its terrorist arm Quds Force and should be condemned in strongest terms, it is critical that Israel should do everything in its power to protect Palestinian civilians under the laws of armed conflict.
Let’s us be honest: the crisis today is largely due to Hamas who took over Gaza in 2006 and has not allowed any elections since then. Gaza could have been another Dubai or Singapore. Instead, Hamas diverted funds to build tunnels and obtain rockets and weapons from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism, to wage war.
The vast majority of Iranians don't support the Islamic Republic and are hostage to its soul destroying policies of the regime. The vast majority of Palestinians want peace, they want good jobs and decent education for their kids. They want a better life. That's not possible with Hamas leadership that takes its orders from the Islamist leaders in Tehran who want to export their vile revolution to take the world backwards to the sixth century.
Hamas, like the Islamic Republic, is in the business of terrorism. Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians. Hamas knew exactly how Israel would respond to the brutal attack on its citizens on Oct. 7. Hamas is like ISIS. It must be destroyed.

Last year, my daughter got cut from her 7th grade volleyball team.

She made the first cut, and thought she had a good chance. But on the second and final cut, they called her name, and she put her head down and walked out to the car where her mom and I were waiting.

She opened the car door, sat down, and started bawling. It was so hard to watch. She wanted to be on that team more than anything. I thought she was good enough, but the coach didn't.

My heart went out to her. But we didn't sugarcoat things for her. We told her we understood how much it stings. I've been cut before. Her mom had been cut from sports before, too. It's an ego shot and a gut punch.

We told her to go ask the coach what she could work on for next year. The coach gave her good feedback. And told her she was the "first girl cut". Which sounded promising, but only added to the sting. She said to me, "If only I had been a little bit better and made a few more serves..."

We told her she had a few choices. She could let this be the end. Or she could use this as fuel and fire. And to use it as motivation to work hard to make the team next year.

For a solid year, she practiced 4-5 times per week minimum. She went to every camp, every practice session she could find, found a travel team she could play on, and spent her entire summer at camps, practices, or in our backyard smashing the volleyball against our house (and denting our siding lol).

She had her tryouts this week. In the first tryout, she unleashed her new jump serve and hit 20 straight volleyballs over the net. The coaches were stunned. She said all the coaches came up to her immediately in the first 5 minutes with their clipboards and said, "What's your name?"

They started using her as a demonstrator, saying "Hey, Brooklyn, can you show everyone how to do this?" Even over the returning starters.

I asked her how she did when she got back. "Hey, you've been around a lot of volleyball in the last year. How did you do? Were you in the upper half of the players?"

She's a humble girl. And she proudly said, "I was the best player on the court."

She made the team, obviously. I'm beaming as a father this week.

I told her how proud I was of her. But not just because she made the team, or she's a great player now. But because she didn't give up. She didn't cry about it (after that first day). She didn't ask mom and dad to go lobby for her to be on the team.

She got after it and worked hard for a full year, taking no breaks. Her other volleyball friends were for sure taking it easier. Chilling out and vibing during the summer. She was attending camps and practicing and getting better while they were relaxing.

Sometimes as a parent, you hope you're teaching your kids how to do things.

But this was a case where she taught me how to do things. 100%.

As a proud and grateful GIRL DAD of three beautiful daughters — when you finally meet the beautiful young girl who’s not only your biggest fan, but she’s also battling cancer and fights for her life…

It just has a sobering way of putting everything back into perspective.

Reminds us of all the stuff in life that really matters and all the stuff the don’t.

Luna Perrone is a REAL LIFE HERO and inspires everyone around her - including me.

You stay strong and keep smiling kid…

Glad you enjoyed all your surprises and yes, YOUR FLEX is WAY COOLER than mine 😉😂💪🏾

Six months ago we published an explosive insider account from Jamie Reed, a former employee of Washington University’s pediatric gender clinic.

@jamiewhistle described vulnerable adolescents with multiple mental health problems being rushed into life-altering treatments that included possible sterilization.

We were dismissed. We were accused of running an unverified story. Prominent journalists, instead of following up on this important news, denounced us.

Today @nytimes confirmed much of our whistleblower’s account, citing patients who sought to reverse their transition, and young people with complex mental health problems being put on powerful drugs.
