Everyone is talking about Taiwan. But something is often missing: Facts. Here’s a few fundamental truths that are rarely said by our top officials & media sources. 1. Taiwan is an independent and sovereign country that has never been part of the territory ruled by the PRC.

It seems to me to deserve repeating just how ordinary Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan actually is. Congressional delegations visit frequently. She’s not even the first speaker to visit. The question should be, why is Beijing determined to turn this visit into a crisis?

Uvalde was the 27th school shooting in the US THIS YEAR. Kids here are more likely to die by a gun than on-duty police officers are. But these points will only resonate with the people who don't need to hear them. We all know children are dying—half the country just doesn't care.

The Buffalo shooter acted alone, but wasn't a "lone wolf"—he was supported by an apparatus that provided the ideology and means for the hunt, @juliettekayyem writes: on.theatln.tc/79YLhzr

Do not paint turtles! Do not allow your children to paint turtles. There is nothing fun or cute about painting a turtle.

Dedicated to everyone who complained today about being slightly inconvenienced by peaceful protests blocking the roads.

example: Trump’s calling for the US military to open fire on American protesters, and not one news outlet/newspaper will call for Trump’s resignation in next 48 hrs

One of the most painful lessons of this crisis is the extent to which America cannot or will not identify with Chinese pain. Every horror that is happening here happened first in Wuhan. We covered it. Many people did not care.

I see a lot of people talking about staying home to practice social distancing, but here’s your reminder that you can go out, too—walking, hiking, camping, kayaking, whatever you’ve been meaning to try. It doesn’t have to be big. Nature can keep your spirit healthy, too.
