Teaching our sons about consent and respect starts early. We must raise young men who understand that it is not enough to simply do no harm. They must also be willing to speak up when they see others being harmed. Thank you for encouraging other fathers to have these necessary conversations.

1/3 Russia has hit the North Bridge in Kyiv again today. If this was a genuine military target (though it's impossible to even pretend it is), Putin and his horde of war criminals could hit it at night, during the curfew. This again proves Putin's lie they don't target civilians.
