#ChiefsKingdom can we help make some 🎄magic happen? Our friends’ kid John asked for a @MecoleHardman4 jersey from 🎅🏼 but none are available. John is my @Chiefs buddy here in Long Island and it would make him SO happy to open it up on Christmas. Look at his sweet little list 🥹

Thanks We Can Do Hard Things with @GlennonDoyle @AbbyWambach & Sister for being my top podcast on @Spotify this year. I loved all 3,162 minutes of it. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/8HReEOwx1T

@Statica_Shockur Ma'am I LIVE for a $12.95 3-wick candle sale at @bathbodyworks. Currently burning all my fall scents (Harvest Gathering and Fall in Bloom are favs ATM) but have a full seasonal rotation (looking at you Cozy Cashmere and Perfect Christmas Morning for ❄️)

YOU DO YOU IS NOT PUBLIC HEALTH

[Kate Dodson @katesdodson]

Staggering 18M kids have not received a single #vaccine - a huge dent in what was decades of progress. One consequence: a 400% ⬆️ in #measles in Africa.
Pandemic recovery must center on enhancing vax access through #primarycare.

I don’t understand how COVID is still spiking after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

Today is the 144th day of 2022.

The Uvalde shooting is the 212th mass shooting of 2022.

Gun violence is a public health crisis.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

School shootings are not fucking acts of nature, like hurricanes and tornadoes. They're man-made acts of inaction, of cowardice, of corruption by all lawmakers who refuse to pass laws PROVEN BY DATA to stop preventable, senseless shootings like in Uvalde.

[Judith DeFoor @jhdefoor]

14 children and 1 teacher woke up this morning and went to school and were shot to death. This place is hell. #GunControlNow

@katesdodson @WHO Bravo! Such important work @katesdodson + team @unfoundation! 👏👏👏

[Rachel Bridges @bethechange8614]

@themollytrolley Lol it’s just missing the tagline of “Today’s moment of joy brought to you by ISIS”

[Kate Dodson @katesdodson]

Want to know the key issues for #WHA75? My colleague @NDauterive has you covered.

One thing I'm focused on: securing @WHO's financial future. At #WHA75 Member States can build a #StrongWHO supported by flexible, sufficient, predictable funding.

@jhdefoor It’s the same thing we do with every big problem (Covid, climate, you name it)🤦🏻‍♀️ Pretend it’s not a problem, are shocked when it becomes a crisis again, thoughts and prayers, and back to “normal.” It’s the American way.

[Kate Dodson @katesdodson]

Phenomenally sobering new data by @WHO & @UNDESA on the toll of this #pandemic.

I can't imagine more compelling evidence for why world leaders need to step up & ensure a more resilient future, expand access to #primarycare and protect the 🌍against future health threats.

[Rebecca Traister @rtraister]

Also obviously: everything is on the table and clearly has been. Voting rights were gutted in 2013. Marriage equality. Griswold. Loving. Don’t ever listen to anyone who tells you such fears are silly or overblown.
