You don’t have “views” about climate change. It’s a fact. It’s like you don’t have views on math. #ClimateChange

In the U.S. you can see the cases explode when we ended the lockdowns, decrease when we mandated masks, but it was not enough, and it’s shooting back up again, worse than when we fist sheltered in place. #COVID19 #Health

"It's important to have [arts] in the curriculum so that the kids that won't normally have any interest in it get exposed to it. They become more well rounded and it teaches them about universal connective tissue that we have as human beings." — @joshgroban #BecauseOfArtsEd

Art and imagination should be at the center of city planning, not tossed in as a token. Every community should be filled with art and creativity. #cities #community #urbanplanning
