Toxic polarization is not a sudden fire that can be extinguished by simply "defeating the other side." It is a slow, decades-long blaze that we all fuel with contempt, stereotypes, and narratives that portray fellow Americans as ignorant or evil. https://t.co/xLvlXKnBiS

Jonathan Haidt has spent his career studying polarization and the forces pulling Americans apart. That’s why his praise for Jesters and Fools is so powerful. This film shows how comedy can do what politics often can’t—help us laugh with one another and see our shared humanity.
Just watched the hilarious film Jesters and Fools. It’s a reminder why comedy matters in a divided country. The film is touring campuses with @HdxAcademy and Sway AI, showing how humor bridges divides. Bring it to your school by hosting a screening: https://t.co/F5rQnWP3Ic

Civility is not a sign of weakness. It is the bravery to reject dehumanization. It is the choice to act rather than react. Ultimately, it is this work that will determine whether we descend further into darkness or choose to pursue the light together. https://t.co/rbs3XDyAad

Today’s shooting of Charlie Kirk is a painful reminder of a truth we must not ignore: political violence is inexcusable, immoral, and beneath our nation. Leaders across the political spectrum have rightly condemned this attack, reinforcing a vital principle: violence has no place
