"Nature does not negotiate." — @kuminaidoo, then Secretary General of @amnesty, said at #MSC2019. Today, thousands of #climate activists have taken to the streets of Glasgow to demand change from politicians attending #COP26.
The vaccine was developed and authorized under a Republican Administration, and it’s been distributed and administered under a Democratic one.
The vaccines are safe, they are highly effective, and there’s nothing political about them.

A must read letter from Officer Michael Fanone to Congress on his firsthand experience protecting the Capitol Complex on January 6, 2021. The attack on the Capitol happened. It cannot be ignored or denied. And the officers on the front lines are heroes.
I'm Mari, a 13-year old from Flint, Michigan where we are 7 years without clean water.
I decided to tackle the water crisis nationally head-on by getting my own water filter to give to those in need of clean water immediately.

Watch the amazing @KaiShappley a huge fan of @DollyParton, 4th grader and a transgender girl, school the Texas Senate and especially @SenBryanHughes once again on how bad their anti-trans bills will be for #TransYouth if passed. Of course those #txlege will ignore her plea!
We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

This is not a partisan issue — it’s an American issue that will save lives. Congress needs to act.
To the people of Boulder, we are with you.
We are sending you all the strength and love in the world.
To the people of America, we don’t have to live like this. We don’t have to die like this.
It’s our choice.
A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.
