California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation.
So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.

Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

Charlie Kirk is upset that Republican women may “undermine their husbands” and secretly vote for Harris while telling their husbands they voted for Trump, even though the husband “works his tail off to make sure that she can have a nice life.”

This gentleman is spot-fucking-on about why MAGA fascists worship a loathsome piece of shit who 99% of the democratic free world thinks is a disgusting bucket of ass vomit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

The crisis of today's men and boys deserves serious attention.
In 1972, the large gender gap in college outcomes spurred Congress to pass Title IX, which banned sex-based discrimination in higher ed. Then, men held a 14% advantage in college enrollment.
Today, women hold an 18% advantage. This gap also demands attention.

Just like women and girls needed support, men and boys need our help now. Spoiler alert: there is no map out -- yet.

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.
