I've seen hundreds of tweets about telling women to stop having sex if they don't want to get pregnant but I've seen zero calls for men to become celibate. It will never cease to amaze me how little men are blamed for getting someone pregnant. This is about control and patriarchy

We are vehemently against @poetrymagazine's decision to publish & defend work by a convicted pedophile.
Your claim of "widening access to publication for writers inside prison" and "expressing human experience" does not mean publishing a pedophile.
You could have checked.

How about, instead of saying that he refuses to condemn white supremacists, we say Trump ordered his white supremacist troops to stand by

President Trump today at the White House said to me: “Be nice. Don't be threatening.”
I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.
My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.

I am issuing this challenge to the President: in the next 48 hours, direct the production and distribution of respirator masks, gloves, protective face shields and gowns to fill every supply request made by a governor to the federal government.
Lives are at stake.

Raise your hand if there is someone in your immediate circle of friends and family who would be extremely vulnerable if exposed to COVID-19 due to existing health challenges.
I have three off the top of my head.

If you’re worried about putting on a few pounds during this time I have a GREAT tip for you. Ready? Okay:
Stop worrying about that, you’re living through a pandemic. You can have a cookie.

The coronavirus is not Donald Trump's fault, but his inept response is.
He ignored the warnings for months, downplayed the threat it posed, and failed to take the action needed to combat the outbreak.
It's one of the greatest failures of presidential leadership in our history.

For those not keeping track, so far President @rihanna has:
- covered the cost of ventilators in her home country of Barbados
- donated $5 million to fight #COVID19 in Haiti, Malawi, Barbados & the U.S.
- donated personal protective equipment for the state of New York
I want to thank @rihanna and the Rihanna Foundation for donating Personal Protective Equipment to New York State.
We're so appreciative of your help and that of so many others who have stepped up.
5/5

Time of worry reminds of these words from Audre Lorde. May your work be uninterrupted, despite these days:
"I am often afraid to this day, but even more so angry at having to be afraid, of having to spend so much of my energies, interrupting my work, simply upon fear and worry"
