Thank you for sharing the good in all of us (or some of us). We all need that little bright spot. Especially when you just heard from someone you love dearly that Putin was treated badly and had to retaliate to defend himself. (Head exploding) . And your story about Anastasiia Yalanskaya absolutely breaks my heart. I am an animal shelter volunteer.

May I ask why you were suspended from Twitter and Substack?

Caroline, there are inherent limits to "following" 400 per day on Twitter, The Retweet Limit Is Not Stated, but all in all, Twitter Rules mean "Limits", A Lot Of People are paranoid about creating lists thinking this tool causes suspensions, I Agree To A Point, But Lots of People Tag Each Other with data points and don't even realize they are doing it, I Hope This Fully Explains!

I'm not sure, Im an avid follower and retweeter, I honestly have no idea why, I don't think I'm Susoended from substack just Twitter, A Lot Of Changes Have Happened on Twitter Regarding Lists and a lot of people had to deactivate their accounts, begin again, I tend to think I Over Followed Or Over Retweeted, Only One Other Twitter Ban, I accidentally got hooked into a Malicious SPAM loop, I downloaded my Twitter Acct Info and MIT analyzed and told me I got hooked into a malicious SPAM circle, This Time, Considering All The Peopke Affected By Suspensions due to Lists, Im Gonna Take This With A Grain Of Salt, Move On, If I were suspended from substack I couldn't Respond To You, I share Mary Trump And E JEAN'S newsletters on Twitter SO RATHER than pollute my suspension, I haven't shared in 3 days, 3 Day Suspensions are minor offenses, UNLIKE having your handle prohibited and have to start again after losing your followers Thanks For Asking

Caroline, A Friend at MIT said I didn't fully explain, Last Part, Since The PEAK of misinformation, Lies And Propaganda on Social Media, Those New Regulations Designed To Stop Malicious Lies, Also Nets Liberals Fighting the Good Fight merely due to language or a report by an opponent, meaning the more activist a person is, the more a target they are, with frequency, even Some Blue Folks Who are very ambitious get caught up in those regulations too, Just A Footnote Thx For Your Question Caroline

I donate as much and as often as I can to Chef Jose Andres. He works tirelessly. President Zelensky is and will go down in history as a true badass hero leader father and husband. Antony Blinkin bravo. If only we had more humans like these people. I still can’t leave out Sean Penn and CORE. Please donate if you are able. He goes about his humanitarian work quietly. That to me means more than anything. Yes he still smokes !!! But the work he and his organization does is brilliant. Mary maybe you can have him on sometime. Thank you Mary you to are a Shero 💕

I like your idea about lauding the week's most deserving people.. We've had much to fear and loathe over the past five or six years and we need glimmers of hope via inspiration.

Many of us are struggling between kumbaya and "fuck those fuckin' fucks"

When l read the names Pompeo and Tillerson together in the same sentence, l immediately wished MTV's "Celebrity Death Match" was still a show.

The Good in Us is a soothing balm.

This true humanitarian sees the work of WCK as God's work. And it is. As I try to process the worst of humanity, I continue to see the best. The Good in Us is the God in us.

Mary, you really made some wonderful choices. I follow Chef Jose and WCK everyday always sharing their twitter videos. Blinken's emotions from witnessing ongoing humanitarian genocide in Ukraine was evident during Biden's State of the Union, just look at his face. side note: I liked his black tennis shoes he wore hoping off a plane arriving for the recent UN Emergency meeting. Lastly, Mary it broke my heart to hear about the savage intentional attack KILLING a beautiful Ukrainian woman who bravely chose to stay behind knowing her support was vital for delivering supplies and food donated for all the abandoned traumatized starving pets and those waiting for adoption. All those stranded dogs caught on daily Ukraine war video, I believe are angels providing blessings to all who feed them, touch them and hold them. Thanks for sharing your picks for The Good in Us.

I have found direction here by discovering something I would have been surprised to know prior to this experience. Regardless of the positive directions any of my work projects might have taken me these discussions and information have been what I needed. Thank you.
