@JesseBWatters “Betrayed the party” is such an Orwellian sounding term.

Political representatives should represent the people they serve, not any party. That’s one example of how broken our politics are.

@AlexAndBooks_ The “modern day billionaire” who is not a billionaire that has done this is @jimmy_wales.

Support public libraries, enjoy public libraries.

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Just a friendly reminder that libraries are free.

Not “free trial” free.
Not “free with ads” free.
Not “free if you give us all of your data” free.

But free free.

I’m old enough to remember when @pulte was the twitter Philanthropy guy giving away money to people a this bird app. Now, Bill Pulte is Acting Director for the U.S. Department of National Intelligence. Seems giving money away to people has worked out.

The results of humanitarian aid cannot be minimized. It is some of the most important work to be done for the overall well-being of the human family.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Latest figures: in face of huge challenges, our tireless humanitarian community reached 16.4m people facing most severe needs with life-saving help in Q1. Results.

So much more to do. Let’s keep delivering.

@LetterGold794 @DeepBlueCrypto @SpaceX @SpaceXStarship @XFreeze @grok @elonmusk @nikitabier @MarioNawfal It’s literally just the ability to understand the feelings or perspectives of someone other than yourself. That’s evil?

@DRNICOLASDipz @UN @WHO My guess is habitual use of most things is likely unhealthy. Good question though 😀

[Dylan B. Raines @dylanbraines]

@UN_News_Centre You can join our platform @TheHumanFamily. It’s safe and all about humanitarian action :)

@RepThomasMassie @Jim_Jordan Netanyahu’s approval ratings in Israel are around 40%-45%. Is Israel an anti-Netanyahu group?

I think many progressives look at Finland, Denmark, and Norway, and think they have shown some good ideas for creating a society where people thrive.

How do you believe enlightenment principles are what has held up our economic stability? Wealth inequality has drastically grown in recent decades.

I’ve started a @Substack. Each week (day, maybe?) I’ll publish a wisdom quote with commentary reflecting upon its meaning.

@seanfeucht Do they spank them with a rod?

Or is it a metaphor for loving discipline, which doesn't necessarily have to be physical violence?

@realannapaulina For whom would it be catastrophic?

[Dylan B. Raines @dylanbraines]

I just want balanced messaging. As in, I think civilization has grown quite detached from nature. We need to regain that connection for our own well-being, and to have greater care for life.

Like many things, it seems people believe there to be two sides:

1. #ClimateChange will destroy us. Be afraid and sad.
2. Climate Change isn’t real, everything is fine environmentally. Do what you want. Don’t stop industry.

I think the truth is found in the middle, in simply learning to live in better harmony with nature. That requires love and compassion.

@EDub56 @dgorgan @neeratanden He doesn't understand nonsense? Makes sense.
