On masks and social distancing: In Ethiopia, there is a story of a blind man who would walk at night with a lantern. They asked him why he had a lantern when he was blind. He said he wanted to light the way for those who could see. #doitforothers

Beyond sad to see history repeating itself. Here are refugees from Tigray fleeing in 1984. Even more horrifying today because the Ethiopian army has sealed the borders so millions have nowhere to run from horrific atrocities and another man-made famine. @POTUS @ABlinken @SMGebru

We're so proud of you! You worked hard for this! ❤️ @WinstonCampus @PalatineHS
