Drag Shows don’t kill kids. Books don’t kill kids. Green m&m’s don’t kill kids. Big Bird doesn’t kill kids. AP courses, don’t kill kids. Learning history, doesn’t kill kids. Dolly Parton’s & Miley Cyrus rainbow song, doesn’t kill kids. Fucking guns are the #1 killer of kids.

7 firearms bought from 5 local gun stores. 2 assault weapons used to murder 3 beautiful children, and 3 adults. NOTHING is okay about our country's lack of response. Congress is watching children die, with their hands folded. t.ly/4gDE

I was sad to learn today that my friend & @8VC partner lost his uncle to COVID-19 in India. The pandemic is getting worse there, and they need more vaccines. In honor of his family, I will donate $50 for every re-tweet, up to $125,000 USD, to help with efforts in India. (1/2)

Israel had zero (really. Zero) deaths from COVID yesterday. For the first time in a year. Pandemics end when people get vaccinated. Israel is Exhibit A
Israel - updated status: 💉 (graph) 🤧 * ZERO! (0) Covid deaths yesterday First such day in >1yr! * ~10 infections /M/d (100-fold drop) * Hospital Covid wards closing 😷 Masks off in open areas Schools fully open Green passes (in high-risk indoor setting) Vaccines work! 1/2

1/ Trying to out my finger on why Miami is so perfect right now. It’s partly the weather, sure. And the best big city mayor in the country by a mile, @FrancisSuarez.

All vaccines, and all drugs for that matter, have some side effects. Tylenol and birth control pills kill way way more people than Covid vaccines ever will. And, it seems like COVID had a reasonably large impact on life, and the economy, did you know?

To understand why herd immunity won't save us & the true tools we need to beat Covid-19, read this piece in @WSJ by @larrybrilliant - the visionary man who helped eradicate small pox from the globe in 1980—the first disease to meet this fate. on.wsj.com/3cs1Aac

Those who choose to continue to support his dangerous gambit by objecting to the results of a legitimate, democratic election will forever be seen as being complicit in an unprecedented attack against our democracy.

Joseph Epstein -- loser. @WSJ shame on you for giving his voice power - when will you stop empowering misogynists?
Character matters! Congratulations to Joe Biden & Kamala Harris. Breathing a huge sigh of relief - decency, not to mention respect for science, is coming back to the White House!!
“It’s easier to be a parent this morning. It’s easier to be a dad. It’s easier to tell your kids character matters. It matters. Tell them the truth matters." Van Jones reacts after CNN projected Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election. cnn.it/2Id1pmU
