Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 2 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 6.2K interactions against 2.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.269%. Posts are seen about 407K times each, and 1.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 17.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 50% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 16K interactions, about 2.5x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

My hero Jimmy Carter was a peacemaker, a public servant, a man of faith, a devoted partner to Rosalynn—and a Guinea worm’s worst nightmare. I knew him best as a global health advocate and deeply admired his dedication to taking on diseases that impact the world’s poorest people, like Guinea worm disease. When President Carter left office, there were more than 3.5 million cases of this painful, debilitating disease around the world each year. This year, thanks in no small part to the work of the Carter Center, that number was down to single digits. He dreamed of outliving the last Guinea worm—and came incredibly close. As he traveled around the world meeting with heads of state, monitoring elections, visiting clinics, and building homes, he took time to connect to the people he met. He believed in removing the barriers that separated a man like him—a former President and Nobel Prize winner—from people living with the realities of poverty and disease. One of my favorite teachings says: “To know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived, this is to have succeeded.” We honor President Carter by remembering that because of him, life is healthier, better, and safer not just for one life, but for millions.

Vaccines save lives. Doctors know it. Scientists know it. Decades of research has proven it. And millions more children are alive and healthy as a result. When public health guidance strays from scientific evidence, it creates confusion, erodes trust in life-saving innovations, and makes it harder for families to access the care they need. We should never let politics stand in the way of medical care. Especially when it comes to our kids.

By naming himself for the patron saint of the poor, Pope Francis placed poverty at the center of the Gospel. With grace & love, with faith in action, His Holiness used a healing hand to lift up the most vulnerable among us. Spending time with him was one of the honors of my life. https://t.co/JhaCJewzWi

The deaths of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti are unconscionable and weighing heavily on so many of our hearts. Over recent weeks, in Minneapolis and other communities across the country, we have seen neighbors standing up for each other with courage, compassion, and solidarity. No one in the United States should ever have to fear losing their life for taking peaceful, principled action in support of their beliefs. Our country is not our government—our country is us, we the people. For 250 years, we have been bound together by bedrock values, the rule of law, and inalienable rights. There is nothing more American than exercising our rights and holding our government accountable. Our democracy depends on it.

Mifepristone is a safe, essential medicine that so many women depend on in some of the hardest moments of their lives. When access to this care is taken away, the need doesn’t vanish. It just becomes harder to meet—and far more dangerous. Last year, while visiting Louisiana to understand how the shifting landscape is affecting our communities, I heard heartbreaking stories from mothers denied treatment during grave crises in their pregnancies and doctors forced to delay care when every minute counts. Friday’s ruling is a blow to families across the country, who suffer when women are stripped of the ability to make decisions about their own health and futures. Everyone deserves health care that’s guided by science, not politics. https://t.co/Wd420CgZKN

This is a discouraging day for so many people across our country and around the world. But make no mistake: Nothing ends here. While many of us hoped for a different outcome, we knew that this was a possibility. Advocates, activists, and champions for Americans of all backgrounds and identities have prepared for this moment, and they are ready to work at all levels using every tool at their disposal to ensure that progress keeps moving forward. Over the next four years, we will see heroic work across our country—in our state legislatures, in our court system, in community organizations distributing frontline services, and everywhere in between. I am committed to being part of those efforts and know that I will be just one of tens of millions of people who are ready to work together to prove that no matter who holds the office of the president, the United States will continue its march to a more equal future.

As a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist who spent more than 65 years studying wild chimpanzees, Dr. Jane Goodall fundamentally changed the way we understand the world—and our place in it. She was also an extraordinarily powerful advocate, inspiring young people all over the world to stay curious, compassionate, and committed to building a brighter future for people, animals, and the environment. What a force she was.

Contraceptives are a life-changing, life-saving tool that women around the world depend on to safeguard their health, their families, and their futures. But today the Trump Administration acted to reinstate dangerous global health funding restrictions that will limit access to contraceptives and other essential reproductive health services—which evidence shows will cost women and children their lives. I have heard from women firsthand about what happens when they lose the right to decide if and when to get pregnant, and it is why I am so steadfastly committed to putting more power in the hands of more women all over the world.

Women know what’s right for themselves and their families. Protecting women’s reproductive rights is top of mind for me as I prepare to vote this election. With only 6 days to go, I hope you make a plan to vote if you haven’t already. Your voice matters. https://t.co/X7CxtgQZvN
