Targeted verbal attacks, attempts to control information and press credentials, financial pressure : media outlets in the United States have been facing an uphill battle since the start of Donald Trump's second term.

How much should you help your college applicant?

Warm and involved parenting is great for kids’ well-being and helps them flourish, says @BrigidSchulte.

Research shows it can lead to higher academic achievement, motivation at school and a greater sense of safety.

But, Schulte stresses, overparenting can have negative and potentially long-lasting consequences.

Children can feel suffocated, especially during the critical teen years when they’re seeking to establish their own identity and independence.

For too long, women's leisure has been treated as a luxury, something we only "earn" if the to-do list is empty (spoiler: it never is) or something we have to monetize to justify. In her piece for @ThePersistent_ , @BrigidSchulte explores the radical shift in how we view our free time.

She breaks down why reclaiming "me-time" is more than just a break; it's a radical act of resistance against a culture that demands constant output.

As Brigid beautifully puts it: Leisure isn't a "waste" of time; it's a reclamation of your humanity. https://t.co/0Hu9w0SHhY

Radical feminist resistance=Leisure time

In today’s always-on world, leisure and personal passions can feel like luxuries—especially for women, who are still expected to juggle work and caregiving without pause, writes @BrigidSchulte, in @ThePersistent_ .

Men become more caring when they become girldads.

Data on >12k CEOs: After having a firstborn daughter, men spend 10% more on social responsibility initiatives—especially culture, inclusion, and the environment. They also pay female employees better.

Daughters activate empathy.
