I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

The psychological effect of a constant stream of thumbnails w/ Trump's face in our feeds cannot be good. When it's already hard to stay informed without getting demoralized, it would be helpful if media made other choices. A striking visual closer to the subject is often possible. #NoTrumpThumbnails
