[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

Make no mistake: Trump will not stop until he is stopped. It's not that he won't; it's that a personality like his can't. He is feral and dangerous, and pretending he has hit bottom is a terrible mistake. There is always a new low to which he can sink.

How many, though, feel confident that this task force, that any convictions, will happen? We have such short attention spans.

[Katie Couric @katiecouric]

.@LindseyGrahamSC "I'm calling for a joint task force to be assembled and spend all the time and money necessary to identify every person who breached the security of the Capitol, who invaded offices and destroyed property."

[Lynne Marie Parson @lmparson]

yes yes yes

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Folks who spent the past year condemning anti-racist & police brutality protests more than fascism have suddenly seen the light & recognize there’s a double standard in policing. Great, but recognize the connection there.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The white elite have a long history of riling up the most virulent elements of white supremacy in a bid to maintain power only to find themselves frightened at what they’ve unleashed

The abject failure of the DC police force needs to be investigated.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam says he’s sending members of the Virginia National Guard and 200 members of the Virginia State Police to Washington, D.C.

Northam said this was at the request of D.C.’s mayor. https://t.co/pOiOTGEgng

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

I want a public response from each and every one of my Republican colleagues: do you think this is ok?

Children are the world’s most important people, and I wish that I have never felt that many have truly acted as such. Thank you, Highlights, for consistently being among the few.

[Highlights @Highlights]

At Highlights, our core belief is that children are the world's most important people. In light of the reports of the living conditions of detained children & threats of further deportation & family separation, here is a statement from our CEO Kent Johnson. #KeepFamiliesTogether

There must have been voices when I was 16, voices that got lost in the blurs of a world without the Internet. Would life be so different if they had had that amplification?

[WTW @WTWcorporate]

What comes to mind when you hear #inclusion and #diversity? Hiring more people of color? Promoting women into leadership? Or a workplace where we're comfortable being ourselves? We believe it's about having the right kind of workplace. https://t.co/ZWO8XEj2yL #WTWLife

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

One of the most encouraging studies I've seen in a long time! @DanielleFLawson and colleagues found that kids can change their parent's minds about climate - with daughters having the strongest influence on conservative fathers. Yea! https://t.co/j22K73Zz6n

In Richmond, we have a great opportunity to plant and care for trees through Richmond Tree Stewards and the city. But I find, even when I offer to pay the application fee of $50, folks don't take the chance. :(

[Fast Company @FastCompany]

The best (and easiest) thing your city can do for itself? Plant more trees https://t.co/jV0VqNbLd5

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

On the train to the EU Parliament, the Italian Senate, the Vatican and House of Parliament during the Easter holiday. And on Friday I’ll participate in the school strike in Rome. I know it’s a holiday but since the climate crisis doesn’t go on vacation nor will we.

[Lynne Marie Parson @lmparson]

A few insights from the conference that focuses a good portion of my life. :)

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Students worldwide are going to walk out of school next Friday March 15 to demand climate action

[Lynne Marie Parson @lmparson]

@WAGSocialCare Thank you. We have opportunities here to be real, to share, to fight but also to realize that not everyone "wins" all the time in this battle. Even if you do, as many people I know celebrate cancer-free anniversaries (and my sis was 7 years "free"), it won't often be pretty.

[Lynne Marie Parson @lmparson]

1) Dear @Walgreens, my sister and I are offended by the new #battlingbeautifully posters in your stores. My sister is dying at the moment from colorectal cancer that came back after 7 years in 2018. This is not a beautiful battle. This battle is real, rough, dirty, angry....
