😅Beyond the physical gains, movement is a powerful tool for mental health. It’s about boosting mood, reducing stress, and helping our youth feel seen, supported, and strong.

Great job to this incredible group! 👏🏽

Back-to-school in 2026 could look very different in Europe: France proposes banning social media for under-15s and restricting phones in high schools to curb screen time and protect well-being. 🎒

Key questions remain on enforcement, privacy, and open access to information. Safety and accountability must guide any rollout. 📵

✨My new shirt supports LLEGO #Boston!

🤝🏽 For 8 years, this volunteer-led group of Latino law enforcement, public safety officers, and #community leaders has been strengthening trust and partnerships across Boston.

As a first-gen 🇺🇸🇩🇴EMT-B from Dorchester, I’m grateful to support their commitment. Representation matters, and diversity is a strength. This is how we build empowerment.

In none of the discourse do people seem to wonder what these young people's aspirations are, what they might want, whether this has helped them. Their agency has been stripped from them and replaced with an order to conform or go to prison. All that is reported is whether they have reoffended, as though that is what matters (rather than guaging their wellbeing)

It's a racist, harmful approach that is, quite frankly, an expensive performance for the benefit of some very out of touch and entitled wankers.

The UK will let 16 and 17-year-olds vote in general elections.

16- and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in the next UK general election.

The change marks the fulfilment of a Labour manifesto commitment and will bring UK-wide elections in line with those in Scotland and Wales.

The government highlights that young people “already contribute to society by working, paying taxes and serving in the military.”

👉🏽 As Coach Wilder puts it:
“The only way you can protect people is understanding that the Constitution has a role. And we have to rely on that. And we can’t cherry-pick it.”
