@cmclymer I think it was so shocking and had even more impact because I think it was the first death I learned about from the internet. These stories are all broken this way now- but this was the first for me (and I assume others)

Still waiting- your customer service is vastly inadequate. Can someone please respond to my emails and help me with my issue? @SheerID I literally just need a new link to submit my verification.

[Monica Schneider @MGSchneider76]

@SheerID I’ve been waiting a week for a response to a customer service inquiry. I’ve been without phone service/internet while traveling internationally for more than a week. What do I have to do to get a response so I can fix an issue with my verification?

[Monica Schneider @MGSchneider76]

@cmclymer Charlotte- as I’ve scrolled social media, I think you are the only non-Jewish acquaintance or friend of mine who even mentioned the anniversary of the attacks and the horrors of that day. Thank you for your humanity.

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

@IwriteOK Funny, I just recommended Secretary to my trainer. It holds up. For me, it’s all about anyone in the Gyllenhaal family.

@cmclymer @deanjnorris His was the most realistic depiction of a federal agent (and the office culture) I’ve ever seen.

@alexsteed Starbucks pumpkin cold brew is delightful after a run.

@washingtonpost Sounds delicious- I love Gin cocktails- especially ones with st Germain and anything with grapefruit juice

@youaregoodpod As a person who lost her parents young, I feel so seen by Anderson Cooper’s “all there is.” The interviews and also his personal explorations. He replayed his Colbert interview recently- for good reason- it’s extraordinary.

In a bar in #melbourne with a strong #ginandtonic listening to the strangest acoustic guitar cover of Cher’s “do you believe in life after love,” waiting for the improv show to start. #idonthateit #cher #improv #strangetravelrequestsarelikedancinginstructionsfromgod #vacation

@alexsteed I think the stair sex scene in History of Violence is the only time I’ve ever started gripping the arm rests in a theatre. I was not expecting that.

@youaregoodpod I’ve been talking about rewatching this for weeks

@RottenInDenmark Have you read Patti Smith’s memoir “Just Kids”? It’s just hundreds of pages of this- and beautifully written.
