Bill Doherty, co-founder of Braver Angels, warns Americans about what happens when we see the other side as our enemy and domestic politics takes on the characteristics of war.

Don't let this happen to our country. We need courage in this moment.

Today is a devastating day for our nation. There are no words for the loss of Charlie Kirk. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.

It’s on each of us to stop this dangerous cycle of mutual destruction. No matter where we stand on the political spectrum, here’s what we must do in the wake of this tragedy. 🧵

Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation?

This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change.

92–97% of experts agreed with the following statements:

1) Adolescent mental health has declined in several Western countries over the past 20 years.
2) Heavy smartphone and social media use can cause sleep problems.
3) Smartphone and social media use correlate with attention problems and behavioural addiction.
4) Among girls, social media use may be associated with body dissatisfaction, perfectionism, exposure to mental disorders, and risk of sexual harassment and predation.
5) Evidence on social deprivation and relational aggression is limited.
6) The evidence for policies like age restrictions and school bans is still preliminary.

These results can help guide future research (e.g., on policies) and informed policy on adolescent technology use.

This was led by @ValerioCapraro @laura_k_globig @steverathje2 and @ZachMRausch and numerous other authors!

@irns53 Outside of Pollard and Donovan Wilson, it was a terrible draft, so you were right. I remember years ago when I told a buddy that I was certain that Ryan Leaf would have a better NFL career than Peyton Manning because of Ryan's better size and arm strength. lol

@DavionTeamRoc Let’s hope all three are absolute dawgs!

[Sean McDowell @Sean_McDowell]

It is a sign of weakness to demonize an opponent. It is a sign of strength to genuinely listen and reconsider one's position.

As important as it is to hold the @DeptofDefense accountable for its use and treatment of taxpayer dollars, let's also hold them accountable for the use and treatment of our sons and daughters.

A good first step would be decriminalizing one's attempt to unionize the military.

Major depression doubled between 2011 and 2019 among American teens. It then continued increasing into 2020 for girls. https://t.co/jHpUWTd0OS @jean_twenge

We are sad to share with you that father of cognitive behavior therapy, Dr. Aaron T. Beck, has passed away at the age of 100. Dr. Beck was a tireless advocate for evidence-based treatments for mental health, and his work touched countless lives. https://t.co/m7tvRYyvxY

@bethmowins I remember that game well, because I watched it with my young daughter and was so glad she could hear a woman do football play-by-play. You were fantastic.

[Cory Wilkin, LMFT @CoryMFT]

@bethmowins @BYUfootball @USFFootball @bethmowins By chance, was BYU the first team you did play-by-play back around 2005?

After you read this you'll think "Aha, now I know why." Extremely important article on digital media & brain chemistry, and why we keep coming back for more even when we know we shouldn't.

Whoa. New study:

"For girls only, at about age 13, if they're starting with 2 to 3 hours of social media use a day and that increases over time, then over the next 10 years, this group has the highest level of suicide risk in emerging adulthood." https://t.co/cB645MM5j8

[BYU @BYU]

BYU researchers just published the longest study to date on the effects of social media on teenagers.

While sm had little effect on boys' suicidality risk, girls who used sm for 2-3 hrs/day & increased their use over time were at a higher risk for suicide
