@davidfrum This is so beautiful and heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[Ellen van Bever @envanbever]

@davidfrum I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Sending condolences and comfort at this most difficult time.

[Ellen van Bever @envanbever]

@dsallentess I could not agree more. It is so incredibly sad and painful.

[Ellen van Bever @envanbever]

@juliettekayyem @Kennedy_School @Harvard @BostonGlobe Thanks for posting this Juliette. A very important read and way past time for what the author proposes.

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

Wow. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissent.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

At a mall in Allen, TX, kids were getting ice cream or hanging out with their friends. People were shopping. They were exercising their “unalienable rights,” to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

All of our Representatives are supposed to protect those rights. But elected Republicans think it’s their job to protect the 2nd Amendment above all else.

Republicans don’t care if our children live or die. They simply do not care. So, it’s up to us--

We have to get every single Republican out of office. We need to get them out of state legislatures. We need to get them out of Congress. We need to get them out of the judiciary.

Otherwise, they will continue to do nothing—and our children will continue to die.

Pray for 16-year-old #RalphYarl. Shot in the head, twice, for ringing the wrong doorbell.

[Halle Berry @halleberry]

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

BREAKING: President Biden kicks off a historic State of the Union by recognizing Nancy Pelosi as the “greatest Speaker of the House in history.” RT IF YOU THINK SHE WAS!

Both?

Hi, my name is Parker and I am a mass shooting survivor and activist. I am speaking at a Capitol press conference today in support of the assault weapons ban. Will you join me on my mission by retweeting and following? I can’t do my work without your help.

[Jack Cocchiarella @JDCocchiarella]

There have been 606 mass shootings this year alone.

The guns are the problem.

[Callum Edwards @CallumEdwardsOG]

Damn, Luke Bryan 😔
I know I shouldn’t be shocked but as a lifelong fan I can’t help but be utterly disappointed.
As a gay man, it truly hurts seeing him bring out - and effectively campaign for - the governor who introduced the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Heartbreaking 💔

Good morning from Manila! "As soon as you have a language that has a past tense and a future tense you're going to say, 'Where did we come from, what happens next?' The ability to remember the past helps us plan the future." @MargaretAtwood
