If you consider yourself someone with a strong humanitarian spirit, let's collaborate.

Indeed. The flow of information through journalism is crucial for learning about what's happening in the world. Having a press that is free from government or corporate control is key to that being a reality, and something we should not take for granted. #WorldPressFreedomDay thehumanfamily.org/i/space/intern…

Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

Our world's information ecosystem is often dominated by conflict and calamity. Yet learning about crisis is also a call for response. In places of immense suffering, the right to education is something which often gets overlooked. Yet education is a fundamental motivational force for stabilization within places the need peace. All children have the right to have a safe place to learn. Here's my article on @TheHumanFamily about @EduCannotWait that I hope you will take a moment to read: thehumanfamily.org/i/space/educat…

Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay, and I think that the concept of having a free press is something we can often take for granted. It's true that much of our current landscape is dominated by corporate interests over the interest of truly informing the people, but there are also incredible news outlets who remain independent and dedicated to factual principle of journalism. If people do not have accurate and important information, it makes it far more difficult to make the choices we need to make to create a better world, and a better life for ourselves. The independence of journalism and the free press is something I believe should be celebrated, supported, and protected.

@UN @UNESCO When we think historically, we have come along way in having a free press. Yet history can repeat, and the press should become and remain truly independent. #WorldPressFreedomDay thehumanfamily.org/i/space/intern…

Attacks on journalists are attacks on freedom of expression. More than ever, we need reliable sources of information and press freedom. On Sunday's #WorldPressFreedomDay and every day, join @UNESCO in defending journalism and standing up for democracy. unesco.org/en/days/press-…

@RoxyFoxy3865 @danyay @sama I am a big semicolon fan; I never waste a good opportunity to use one.

@danyay @dylanbranes @sama I'm a geriatric millennial, but I'm still going to capitalize my sentences. I am also going to use two spaces after a period. Don't get me started on my comma usage. You can pry them from my cold, dead hands!😂

man its good to be back on twitter there is comfort in the skills of a wasted youth

@asi_hart @UNDP Mostly by turning on a faucet.

@dylanbranes @UNDP It flows to me from the mountains. You get it some other way?

Water is a basic human right. Yet across the 🌍, women still don’t have an equal say in how it's collected and managed, and they consistently bear the highest cost to obtain it. Here's how we're working to ensure fair water access for all: go.undp.org/SNV

@sama And the young one sitting in a @LittleTikes automobile is perfect.

never thought id be watching F1 via the kids broadcast cannot imagine being happier

@GovEvers Ending this war would be a good idea.

Since President Trump started a war with Iran, gas prices have skyrocketed in Wisconsin, going up 37.5 percent between February and April. Wisconsin families cannot afford the continued recklessness and chaos out in D.C.

@asi_hart @UNDP I don’t know. Hence why I asked.

@dylanbranes @UNDP How do you think?

@elonmusk Imagine a world in which every human being has access to the internet. Game changer.

Starlink now in Papua New Guinea! 🇵🇬

@UNDP It is right that everyone should have access to safe water.

@asi_hart @UNDP How do you get the water you use?

@UNDP No, water is a commodity that people have to get themselves.

@UNOCHA How can we help?

Humanitarians delivered vital support to more than 12 million people in early 2026. But to help save #87MillionLives, we need more global solidarity - and it must come faster. From Sudan to Ukraine and Bangladesh, see how aid workers made a difference this week.

@IAmSteveHarvey The most important things in life are those which are present, here now: Peace, happiness, contentment, wisdom, inner-freedom. They are accessible to us all now. As long as we are chasing something, we are also pushing it away.

What’s something people chase that isn’t worth it?

@dieworkwear @Libuse_Carodej Looking for honest answers here.

@Libuse_Carodej since you joined twitter on dec 2022, you've tweeted 195,700 times. assuming you sleep 8 hours a day, that's about 162 times per day. or roughly a new tweet every four mins, every day, for the last four years. how do you have time to be a writer?

Why do people write tweets like this? Where every sentence gets a new line. Sometimes a line might have two sentences. Like this one. But generally speaking, every sentence has a new line, making a tweet look like a long block of text that no one reads. Worse still, such tweets are often repetitive and winding, hammering on the same point over and over again. The writing is often very bad.

@UNOCHA @UNReliefChief Money is a tool for expressing value. Our values as members of @TheHumanFamily need to be guided foremost by meeting the needs of the most vulnerable. We need an awakening of compassion.

"Let’s not pretend the money isn’t there. I hope the world can make better choices", says @UNReliefChief The #87MillionLives campaign is gaining momentum, but funding still falls short. The gap is not about resources. It is about global priorities.

The suffering in this world is unimaginable. If you have a safe place to live, it should fill us with gratitude. And gratitude should lead to compassion, that all may have a safe place to call home.

@danyay @sama It does seem to be the age demographic I see it being utilized most.

@dylanbranes @sama it’s a trend pretty much exclusive to us millennials

@realgoattalk1 @sama I think this is the correct answer.

@dylanbranes @sama Some just want to watch the world burn.
