Why Innovation Needs Space—And Why It Can’t Be Accidental. Seriously, the gap is too big https://t.co/lUruyzBbkx

[Angela Wyan @AngelaWyan]

I came back to the U.S. last year excited and hopeful, then I grew quietly uneasy.

So, this 4th of July, I’m thinking less about fireworks and more about what keeps a country stable, fair, and free.

Here's why ⬇️

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

@chrismaurice Ha! The whole time I was leaving abroad were 8 years where I couldn’t fund an account b/c my only option was bringing a check and my ID to the branch … & that was the best/easiest … who uses checks anymore?! 🤦‍♀️😭😂

[Angela Wyan @AngelaWyan]

@chrismaurice @Sheipshei @johntcolson woooow! The fact that you’re doing this… 👌 Merry Christmas! 🥳

[Angela Wyan @AngelaWyan]

@evernote so many new releases, but basics such as writing words in a note do not work. What is happening with the platform? Cannot save as much as 1 letter? I mean @googledrive is one click away peeps

It's insane that we're doing this in the middle of Europe in 2022, but here we are.
Take a look at @WFP's work on the ground to help those in need from the Ukraine

[Becky Anderson @BeckyCNN]

"I'm begging everyone to cooperate with us."

Head of the @WFP, @WFPChief, spoke to me from the frontlines of the organization's emergency operation to provide food assistance to those in Ukraine and those fleeing:

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Wheels down in Poland for this cargo plane full of emergency @WFP food assistance for families in #Ukraine. Our teams doing all we can to make sure people have the support they need.

[ShareTheMeal - UN World Food Programme @ShareTheMealorg]

🆘Emergency #Ukraine goal

The outbreak of conflict in Ukraine could have a devastating impact on food security as conflict is the biggest driver of hunger.

@WFP is preparing to provide humanitarian aid (food packages + cash transfers) for people fleeing conflict.

Hard to believe, and yet it's true

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Our @RefugeesCE representative is in Moldova, at the border with Ukraine.

"The situation is absolutely heartbreaking." Watch ⬇️

AidWorkers = #NotATarget

[Matthew Hollingworth @mfjhollingworth]

- Conflict, mobilization & targeting of aidworkers & facilities prevents humanitarian deliveries, distributions & services.
- Losses of aid due to theft, looting, burning are unlikely to be replaced. Resources just cannot meet the enormity of needs.
- Aidworkers = #NotATarget
