is to challenge their very humanity.”

Charter for Compassion
Today (yesterday) Thanksgiving is celebrated in the USA
"Gratitude doesn't ask us to look away from injustice.
It asks us to keep our eyes open long enough
to see the whole table and help make sure
that everyone has a seat at it."
~Cheryl Melody Baskin

Marine Le Pen’s conviction and ban from seeking public office is more than just a legal ruling, it is a wake-up call. It proves that strong, enforceable laws can safeguard democracy. It’s no surprise that autocrats across the globe have expressed outrage: after all, the law is a simple but effective mechanism to protect democracy from bad actors. Yet, here in the UK, we still lack the protections
Very, very, interesting abstract here👇
A Brief Compassion Focused Therapy Intervention Can Increase Moral Expansiveness: A Randomized Controlled Trial
#MoralExpansiveness refers to the number of different & varied entities we consider worthy of our moral concern and treatment.

Objectives This study investigated whether training in compassion can broaden individuals’ moral circles. In total, 102 participants, including 87 females, took part in a brief seminar on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), which is a psychological intervention aimed at cultivating greater levels of compassion. Method Participants were randomized to either the CFT intervention (n = 48) or waitlist control group (n = 54). Participant levels of moral expansiveness (moral concern for human, non-human animals, and environmental entities) were measured at pre-intervention, 2 weeks post-intervention, and the CFT group again at 3-month follow-up. Results At 2 weeks post-intervention, participants in the CFT group compared to control had significantly increased total moral expansiveness, as well as increases specifically for family and revered sub-groups. At 3-month follow-up, these outcomes improved, with reported moral concern for all sub-groups significantly increasing, including out-groups, stigmatized members of society, animals, plants, and the environment. Conclusions The results show promise for how we can expand the boundaries of our moral concern through compassion focused interventions. Preregistration The study was preregistered on the Open Science Framework ( https://osf.io/z3c9f ).
