Outside the Kremlin walls!! Balls. Of. Steel. Well done those brave Russians. ✊

Most Americans have never experienced it.

The depravity of it all is mind-blowing. On Saturday and Sunday, Russia agreed to open a humanitarian corridor out of Volnovakha and Mariupol but then bombed the egress road just as civilians were in the process of fleeing. It is pure evil. bit.ly/3CnYtLP

Horrifying attack on Mariupol. Children's hospital and maternity hospital targeted by Russian strikes. Many losses. The city is completely surrounded. There’s no electricity, water and gas. Russia refuses to provide green corridor. City is facing humanitarian catastrophe.

Is there an eternal 🇷🇺?

The conductor Valery Gergiev has a long history of supporting Vladimir Putin. For years, hardy groups of protesters showed up at his events, but few audience members paid attention. Then, overnight, the charade ended. nyer.cm/Hj3ze20

👋🏻 I'm a volunteer preschool teacher turned founder / CEO at Series A childcare startup tinycare.co When I first explored the US childcare system in 2016, what baffled me the most was the cost. This is a 🧵 about why daycare is so expensive in the US. 1/20

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place. It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world. Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it? It’s time to turn this pain into action.

This is not rare. Guns are the leading cause of death for kids in the US. The shooting in Buffalo was the worst this year for less than two weeks. This is not rare.

"We are a very pragmatic people. When we saw something like that happen, everyone in our country said..Never again"
