College students fighting political division and creating dialogue on campus. Multipartisan. Retweets ≠ Endorsements

Remember this? This was back when our political discourse included even nominally higher level of respect. We've always loved this clip. Kudos to @SenJohnMcCain. Rest in peace.

(Some) conservatives and liberals in 2026: We do not have a democracy if the other side wins. Bridge builders: We do not have a democracy if we cannot talk to each other.

In case you were wondering how to sound more intelligent in political conversations.

I hate you -> You’re just wrong -> I strongly disagree with you -> I’m curious why you believe that. Tell me more.

1968: Lyndon Johnson and Dwight Eisenhower speaking at Walter Reed after Ike's 7th heart attack. Despite their ideological differences, the two kept in touch regularly and leaned on each other for advice.

This video proves that political stereotypes are just that...stereotypes. They don't always reflect broad reality, but instead a narrow understanding of what few people actually believe and/or look like...

Thank you so much @UCBerkeley and @BerkeleyInspire for this incredible honor. At BridgeUSA, we know that overcoming political polarization is possible because we see it happen every single day, one discussion at a time. To every bridge builder who made this possible, thank you.
Berkeley Inspire@berkeleyinspire

In 2017, first-year pre-med student @ManuMeel_ ’20 was dismayed by a protest on the Berkeley campus that turned violent and disrupted an event with a controversial speaker. Motivated by a desire to strengthen America by overcoming our divisions, Meel pivoted to study political science and, with his friend Ross Irwin and some fellow undergraduates, created a space where students could engage with each other respectfully. What began as BridgeBerkeley soon spread to dozens of colleges and became @BridgeUSA_, a multipartisan nationwide organization that combats political division by cultivating dialogue. The organization has empowered more than 60,000 students in its effort to move past political polarization, honor diverse perspectives, and bridge differences using constructive conversation. Meel is this year's recipient of the Peter E. Haas Public Service Award, which recognizes an alum who has made significant and impactful contributions to society through volunteering. The award will be presented at this year’s Spring Commencement. #UCBerkeley #PublicService #CalGrad

Prank idea for April fools: Convince Americans that people who don't think or vote like them are their enemies. Oh, wait...

What is the one reform that the US political system is most in need of? Wrong answers only.
