[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is a five alarm fire.

The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.

Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.

This should not be a partisan issue.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

In these difficult times, let us remember the words of one of humanity's keenest observers, Mahatma Gandhi: "𝗣𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲"

Ending poverty in all its forms everywhere remains paramount.

It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years. 🏳️‍🌈💔
Don’t give up the Fight!

For SDG 5: Gender Equality, read "The Body Alone" by Nina Lohman, which critiques gender inequality by revealing systematic biases that dismiss women's pain and limit their access to equitable healthcare. #17BooksFor17SDGs

With over 45,000 U.S. donors contributing $62M, Americans are the second-largest supporters of Notre-Dame's restoration, after the French. Grateful to meet Gayle Benson from the @Saints & @PelicansNBA today, whose generous philanthropy and support of both Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans and Notre Dame in Paris is fostering greater ties in cultural heritage preservation between our two countries. #NotreDame #RebatirNotreDame #NOLA

"There has been an intense and aggressive campaign of disinformation reaching out to donors' capitals to deligitimize the Agency."

Welcome the American University of Paris UNESCO Chair in AI and Human Rights to the UNITWIN network. From developing AI to generate inclusive textbooks to using AI to help us understand our challenging pasts so we can build a better future, you’re already charting a path forward. Technology is going to keep advancing. The question is whether we leverage it to benefit all of humanity.

Someone tell Haruki Murakami - they found a new set of Charlie Parker recordings - from Kansas City... https://t.co/QcxbCdjYXq

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

While we will never stop the work to make our community safer, we know that businesses impacted by burglaries and vandalism need support today.

We’re proposing the Back-to-Business Fund to get relief out to Kansas City businesses who are doing the hard work to keep going.

[Johnathan Duncan @JDuncanKC]

Happy to join the Mayor in this effort to provide some relief to small businesses impacted by what seems like endless property crime.
