“When you succumb to cynicism you give it power. What we are doing is hard because it is unprecedented. We are trying to be planet Earth's first multiracial, multicultural, and multifaith democratic republic at scale. That hasn't existed before.“ @ericpliu https://t.co/hlpdF4MYJY

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

Addressing loneliness and social isolation can improve health outcomes for individuals and communities. It’s time to refocus on strengthening our connections with one another and rebuilding community.

‘Pluralism is not merely civility or some naïve belief that people can simply overlook their disagreements. Rather, it holds that our differences are a strength. Conflict is a necessary part of social change. Yet it doesn’t have to break us.’ @newpluralists @UmaViswanathan

[Dr. Tania Israel @TaniaIsraelPhD]

The most important frame of mind is intellectual humility, which I think of as being righteous without being self-righteous. In other words, you can hold strong opinions while being curious about and respectful of other views.

Important and practical pointers from @nataliabbogdan on how we shift narratives and culture on immigration in ways that bind, rather than break with broad swaths of the public.@ForBelonging @MPI_Europe @MittelWorld
