Your neighbor saying "I'm loving this warmer weather" when it's 16 degrees is something you will only hear in Minnesota and very few other places.

[A Precarious State @PrecariousState]

The #TwinCities experienced a year unlike any other in 2020: #COVID19, the murder of #GeorgeFloyd, and the rioting that followed. Five years later, recovery remains uneven.

A Precarious State explores WHY, and what it will take to move forward.

Watch the premiere Thursday, Oct 2 at 7 p.m. on ABC stations throughout MN.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 50s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone" Michael Okuda

I love how when Trump goes five days without openly violating the U.S. Constitution we just all assume he passed away

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths.

And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.

Cheryl Reeve on the school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School

“It’s such an indictment of our society, our lack of regard for life. There are things that we can do about it, and we don’t, but for some reason as Americans we value something different. It’s sickening, it’s sad for the kids, it’s sad for the kids that have to grow up like this. It’s sad for the kids to walk through the door and not know what’s going to happen. So hearts go out to the lives lost, kids that are hurt, teachers that have to go through this, families that drop their kids off at schools and don’t have their kid come home. Hearts go out to them. The sad thing is we can’t sit here and tell them that help is on the way, because we’re not going to do a damn thing about it”

One day you’re young and wild; the next, it’s Tuesday, and you’re dialing into a team's call.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.

Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

@sisulu_ka Love you 💚

31 years after the Genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda is a place of resilience, beauty, and hope. I’ve been deeply moved by the warmth of its people and the strength of its spirit. Today, I remember the lives lost and honor a nation that continues to inspire. #Kwibuka31

Here is what killing #USAID funding does--it kills #Basotho who are HIV positive. Pulling funding with no warning to a program that serves 350,000 HIV+ in #Lesotho and leaving them without access to life-saving meds.

Callous.
Uncaring.
Immoral.

Greetings Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, we can't wait to have you in LESOTHO!😎😜🇱🇸❤️

[John Aerni-Flessner @LesothoJohn]

And, no, I don't feel the need to respond to the person who currently occupies the White House in the United States and his fire hose of lies.

As I said on the other platform:

If you don't know #Lesotho, you are the one who is missing out and the character flaws lie within.

“Soft power is all about empathy and proactive investment. If we give in someone’s time of need, they are more likely to assist in ours. These are simple lessons that we all learn as children: but countries practice them, too, on a larger scale.” https://t.co/Ne7VBoD1Nm

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

[Caroline Kupchella @ckupchella]

Foreign assistance is less than 1% of the federal budget.

Cutting USAID funding is not an effective way to balance the federal budget, it threatens lives, undermines global development, and jeopardizes U.S. security and stability.
