@Elex_Michaelson FYI, Trump
never had a casino in Las Vegas, in a hotel or otherwise. He is part owner of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas; it does not have a casino.
You do understand, @realDonaldTrump, that ‘Denali’—the peak which you so insensitively & without cause ordered once again be named Mount McMcKinley—is the name by which the INDIGENOUS Koyukon people, who inhabit the area around the mountain, have referred to it for centuries, or don’t you?! Let’s be honest here; sports teams (and I am a true sports fan) were NOT given Native American names to honor indigenous heritage! Why not revert to the indigenous, Native American name of the mountain, Denali, to restore the honor that you have taken from the people who have lived on that land more more than 1,000 years and see it as sacred, an embodiment of their ancestors and life itself. You yourself are systematically taking away indigenous peoples’ “heritage and prestige.” #NativeAmerican #NativeAmericans #Denali #Indigenous #Truth
On #WorldCommunicationsDay, I would like to repeat Pope Francis’ invitation to tell stories of hope and disarm communication of all prejudice, resentment, and fanaticism. Let us share a different outlook on the world through communication that is disarmed and disarming. #HopeTelling https://t.co/MmGT2ZZFQ4
This is a travesty. Dr. Hayden has accomplished so much in her role as Librarian of Congress because of her knowledge, experience, insight, intellect, and enthusiasm. This president is not qualified—nor is anyone in his administration—to take this action. As a taxpaying American—and librarian—I resent and protest Dr. Hayden’s firing.

@JimSichko May the Lord grant you a swift and full recovery, @JimSichko!

yours is the life of my spirit.

Exactly! I was appalled, dismayed, & insulted—especially as a 37-year educator—by @realDonaldTrump’s comment—as I was by the response of those on the right. I was disgusted by @VP Vance’s & @SpeakerJohnson’s ‘supportive’ smiles & laughter. The president might as well have said, ‘C’mon, kids—& adults, too: Let’s make fun of others together!’ How very sad for our country.
Since I’m 12 years beyond my 50th birthday, I would imagine that @berniemoreno would suggest that I absolutely, positively have no interest in or right to care about women’s reproductive rights and our—yes, OUR—gender-specific healthcare. I would like to point out to Mr. Moreno that the need for and right to such healthcare does not expire when women turn 50! @maddow

Mr. @realDonaldTrump: Your appearance on @Gutfeldfox was an absolute disgrace. I guess, though, as "Gutfeld!" Is supposed to be a comedic talk show (which it fails to be, markedly), your statements and comments were somehow appropriate—because they were, as you are, laughable. Please stop lying; you’re setting a bad example for your grandchildren and all American children.
