Some people mistakenly conclude that cultivating compassion is all about others’ benefit, whereas the first benefit is to us. Compassion brings us peace of mind. It attracts friends. Friends are based on trust and trust develops when we show concern for others.

2017 was a year of women singing, storytelling, marching, and making history. I’m so excited to see what’s in store for these trailblazers in the new year. cosmopolitan.com/politics/a1439…

"Let me be clear tonight. The people of Haiti have been through more... withstood more -- they've fought back against more injustice than our President ever has." Anderson Cooper choked back tears as he reflected on the devastating quake nearly 8 years ago snpy.tv/2ARyRG4

What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.

Today marks the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since then, there have been numerous attempts to restrict a woman’s access to abortion. We must ensure that women everywhere can make their own choices about their health care. #RoevWade

These official portraits of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are stunning. Congratulations to kehindewiley on becoming the first person of color to paint a presidential portrait that will hang in the @nationalportraitgallery.

dLab noticed only 30% of women were working in data so they started a Women in Data Programme with customised training for eg half days so they can still look after their children in the afternoon #Data4DevFest #GenderData #GenderEquality

News anchors looking into camera and reading a script handed down by a corporate overlord, words meant to obscure the truth not elucidate it, isn't journalism. It's propaganda. It's Orwellian. A slippery slope to how despots wrest power, silence dissent, and oppress the masses.

Democracy works best when politicians are infused with a sense of courage - a high bar for most I concede. The courage to vote your conscience, tackle tough challenges. And the courage to face the voters. I don't think Paul Ryan will be remembered as a profile in courage.
