I only remember a handful of Tweets from over the years. But one that will stick with me forever is when someone once said: We have enough money in this world to feed every man, woman, and child. But we'll never have enough money on this planet to satiate the insatiable appetite of billionaires.

Our message to the media: We are either pushing back on the slide into authoritarianism, or we are enabling it. There is no third option. Both sides-ism is how we got here. As Christian Amanpour said: “Be truthful, not neutral.”
