One year ago, the world lost one of its strongest advocates. Dr. Jane Goodall spent years advocating for animal welfare, for community-led conservation, and for youth environmental leadership. She knew that each one of us had an important role to play, and she made sure that we knew that, too.

To all the people saying: "How can I find time to read to my kid when I have a high-powered full-time job?" I taught high school full time; marked A-level exam papers in my spare time; wrote a bestseller in 4 months and still found time to read to my kid every night. I did give up dusting, though.

​While this is terrible, it is also important to note that the situation in Kyiv is far from the worst. In frontline regions like Kharkiv or Sumy, kids are unable to attend school at all unless it is built underground.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

A GOP candidate is complaining that his father-in-law is being deported. He is here legally, not undocumented and working under a valid work permit. He is not allowed access to the courts to dispute what ICE is doing. He will be deported. It hurts when reality hits home, doesn't it?
