There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.

Guess which one they want you to focus on.

For my April donation, I want to support orgs working to return those kidnapped and sent to El Salvador. Is Amnesty the best or is there something more direct?

Just seen someone say if the tiny proportion of women who lie about SA is a reason to cast doubt on all accusations, then why is the amount of men who will lie about having committed SA not a reason to cast massively more doubt on them? And then I had to lie down.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Just so you’re aware, every library in LA is offering free masks right now due to the fires. Another reason to love libraries! Let’s hope they continue after the fires are over. Masks save lives in many ways.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
