More than 30,000 troops have died by suicide since 9/11.

40,000 veterans are unhoused on any given night.

This Veteran’s Day, let’s not just thank those who have served. Let’s commit to building a country where our veterans have the support they need to thrive.

NEW: A New York City pilot program to respond to 911 calls for mental health crises with social workers instead of cops appears to be reducing unnecessary hospitalizations, while increasing the percentage of people who accept help when offered. https://t.co/ttsoqPQfq5

Wow. Just... wow. @RepKatiePorter is so unbelievably good at this.

One of capitalism's most brilliant moves is convincing people that our comfort, and even our most basic needs, shouldn't be guaranteed.

[Jessica Hester @HesterJessica]

@MissCirillo Absolutely.

"While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me."

Representative John Lewis wrote this essay shortly before his death. @NYTOpinion is publishing it today, the day of his funeral. https://t.co/kAms0ogrCU

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

At some point our country must meaningfully acknowledge that the killings of

Ahmaud Arbery,
Sean Reed,
Sandra Bland,
Tamir Rice,
Trayvon Martin,
Eric Garner,
Rekia Boyd,
Tanisha Anderson,

and countless others are not isolated incidents or “bad apples.”

It is systemic violence.

The fury of the virus illustrates the folly of war. That is why today, I am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world - @antonioguterres #COVID19

@ArielleKebbel @NBCLincolnRhyme Congrats. You are amazing!!

[Jessica Hester @HesterJessica]

@meaganhester That’s awful. Hopefully those officers are reprimanded.

[Jessica Hester @HesterJessica]

Mental transformation takes time, but it becomes easier with familiarity. Don’t entertain unrealistic expectations; it doesn’t take place quickly. It requires patience and determination over months and years, but if you keep it up, at the end of your life you’ll be content.

#DearProfessorFord,

We want you to know that you are not alone. You are a survivor. Millions of us have your back.

We call on Senators to demand a full, fair and trauma-informed investigation.

Signed,
Your Sisters

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

I asked @TerryCrews why he didn’t use his considerable strength to fight back when he was sexually assaulted. His answer is a powerful reminder of how victims are too often forced into silence to avoid damaging their careers or reputations. We need to hear the truth.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren’t born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit.
