Yes, helmets really are important. As busy as your brain cells are, they are also incredibly soft and squishy. In fact, your brain has the consistency of jello. And like jello, it is very vulnerable, especially to physical forces, such as a fall or a sudden jolt.

At this point, it’s undeniable: Donald Trump is unfit to serve as President. I’m done pretending this is normal — and I’m done with leaders who won’t speak up. The question is simple: are you okay with this, or will you stand up and stop it? app.sosha.ai/s/9hwYlYbJ
