Why is it so rare that people help other people? Have you experienced a random act of kindness during this holiday season?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

"So I thought it was a good idea to fly by myself with a 2 yr old and a 5 year old 😐 we were standing in line in security, on the verge of tears because Wyatt was screaming and James was exhausted.

Out of the blue, one mom stops the line for security and says “here, jump in front of me! I know how it is!” Wyatt fell asleep and I was trying to carry everyone’s carry-on when another mom jumps out of her place in line and says “hand me everything, I’ve got it”.

When I said thank you to both of them they said “don’t you worry, we’re going to make sure you get on that flight.”

The second woman takes everything and helps me get it through security and, on top of all that, she grabs all of it and walks us to the gate to make sure we get on the flight.

To top it all off, Wyatt starts to scream at take off before he finally falls back to sleep. After about 45 min, this angel 👇🏼
comes to the back and says “you look like you need a break” and holds Wyatt for the rest of the flight AND walks him all the way to baggage claim, hands him to blake, hugs me and says “merry Christmas!!”"

And they call US triggered…

Basically they are angry at whatever the likes of the #DailyMail or people like #Farage tell them to be angry at.

Sadly, deep down, they’re really just angry at themselves and the wrong choices that THEY have made. They are so deeply unhappy, as much as they will tell you they’re not. It oozes out of them.

Until they can fill their hearts with more love, and stop aiming it at others (normally the ones who need the most help), I will keep speaking my mind.
And I’ll continue to laugh at them.

Mostly anonymous, cowardly accounts too…

I’m not racist, but…. I don’t want you in my country…. Go back to where you belong. How many times have I heard that…. Oh, I lost count!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Meet Brianna Pinnix, who the internet is now calling "Train Karen". She has been fired from her job for this clip.

Pinnix, who appears to be intoxicated on a NJ Train, started to berate a German tourist who she thought was talking about her.

"Lets not let immigrants take up our country...how about you get the f**k out of our country' at the group of tourists," she shouted.

Her patient boyfriend chimes in: “Stop this, or I’m never going to talk to you again. You know I’m an immigrant, I’m an immigrant too, you know that, right?”

Capital Rx, the company she worked for, has terminated her work, saying the following:

"Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question. The former employee's actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt."

Clearly she was over the line. Clearly she said some pretty horrible things to the tourists. Do you agree with her firing?

[Jiten Patel @J1ten]

Are you willing to repost this? I was.

[Jiten Patel @J1ten]

@mhdksafa You keep doing what you’re doing @mhdksafa

[Jiten Patel @J1ten]

I hope the medal presenter finds herself in a similar situation that which this little girl found herself in.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Welcome to Ireland where people get away with racism! This little black girl broke my heart. Don’t skip this post without leaving a million heart for her. Make her famous…

People responding to these tweets could easily be a member of your team…. How do consciously inclusive leaders manage it?

[Gary Neville @GNev2]

I have a confession !

Last season @Heineken asked me and @jillscottjs8 to swap Twitter accounts as part of a social experiment to see if men and women are treated differently online . What happened was unfortunately predictable ! An important reminder that gender bias should have no place in our game . #fresherfootball #Ad

[Jiten Patel @J1ten]

Can leaders of, so called, developed countries not be affected by such research?

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

Appalling rise in the number of children living in destitution, with Black and minority ethnic children amongst the hardest hit

The two-child limit increases the risk of poverty amongst low-income families, disproportionately impacting minority ethnic people. It must be scrapped

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

In 1975, women of Iceland went on strike for equal rights. 90% of women walked off their jobs & homes, shutting down the entire country. The men could barely cope. Five years later, Iceland elected first female President. Now Iceland has the highest gender equality in the world.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

“Country singer Dolly Parton wrote the songs "I Will Always Love You" and "Jolene" on the same night.
When the first song was at the top of the charts in 1974, Elvis wanted to record his own version of the song. Dolly was interested until Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' manager, said that it was standard procedure that when the king of rock and roll covered a song - half of the rights to that song would go to him in the future.

She refused it.

"I said, 'I'm really, really sorry' and cried all night. It was terrible for me, on the one hand, it's Elvis. People told me: "You are crazy." It's Elvis Presley...' but I just couldn't do it. Something told me in my heart not to do it and I didn't. I know he would rock with that song. But I couldn't. And then Whitney Houston came along with her version and I made enough money from the rights to buy Dollywood."

She grew up in severe poverty and no one famous has done more for the education of the poor than her.

In 1990, the percentage of students who did not graduate from high school in her hometown was over 30%. She introduced the "Buddy Program", where all high school graduates received a nice sum when they graduated. It wasn't just a waste of money, she personally came and explained the concept to them - everyone should find a buddy, and whoever doesn't succeed she will find one for them. Everyone had to sign that they will graduate and do everything in their power to ensure that their buddy also graduates. She taught young people about friendship and helping.

The number of school dropouts dropped to below 6% and has remained so until today.

When 900 families lost their homes in the 2016 fires, she paid each family $1,000 for the next five months. When she came to the bank to finish the paperwork, she gave each family another $5,000 to find. A total of nine million dollars.

Also, her work - Imagination Library from 1995, was inspired by her realization that young people in rural areas and poor families already fall behind when they start school and that this prevents them from pursuing higher education. The goal of her program was for every child in her district to receive one book, once a month, from birth to school, completely free of charge, without any conditions. It started as an initiative in her hometown and has spread to a huge number of countries around the world.

By 2018, over 100 million books were distributed in this way.

She is also known for her witty statements, at the beginning of her career she said:

“I'm not offended by jokes about stupid blondes because I know I'm not stupid... and I'm not really blonde either.”
