I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but then I turned myself around.

WATCH: John Lewis tearfully accepting National Book Award. He couldn't get a library card in 1956 because the library was "for whites only".

Buttigieg winning Iowa would definitely be the strongest “politics Twitter is not real life” result

Watch the Venn diagram of people who tweet in outrage about Trump's supposedly "anti-Semitic" EO, which actually happens to protect Jews on campus, and the people who tweet in outrage about the anti-Semitic terror attack in Jersey City. There will be almost no overlap.

U.S. trailed "rest of world" in refugee resettlement in 2017 and 2018... It had previously led the world on this measure for decades, admitting more refugees each year than all other countries combined.

There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?

Our country was founded on racism—and is still racist today. In Arkansas, I said why I believe there’s no denying this reality; and why it’s on all of us to change it.

@neiltyson Reacting only to casualty statistics without consideration for societal context or what these mass shootings are emblematic of more broadly doesn’t seem very objective, try as you may to pass it off as so. Go beyond statistics and you may better understand the emotional response

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
