Brooke Baldwin says facts alone won’t save us—but empathy might. Brooke Baldwin spent years witnessing history unfold firsthand as an anchor on CNN. After her departure, she began to rethink not only what we report, but how we understand the world around us. She says we’re unraveling—not just politically divided, but divided over what’s real. We no longer share the same facts, and that divide runs deeper than anything we’ve seen before. At the center of this moment is grief—the loss of shared truths, trust, and the bonds that once held us together. To move forward, we must confront that grief head-on. We need to accept that what feels like self-destruction might be the only path to real change. We may never fully agree—but if we can at least acknowledge each other’s reality, that’s a critical first step. #Politics #News #CNN #Democrat #Republican #Empathy #Humanity
