A great critic--one of the greatest of his time. Had the pleasure of attending a Mets game with him some years back. He got mad when I criticized Thomas Jefferson. Still think I was right.

@jasongay @WSJ @andrewlbeaton @bzcohen Worked around the corner at LaMama in 1980. Only heard it called Phoebe’s then and ever since. (We stored our production dry ice in their freezer.)

@jasongay @WSJ @andrewlbeaton @bzcohen I’ve been going since early 1970s. The theater folks who hung out at the bar always called it Phoe-be’s like the Shakespeare character in “As You Like It.”
Looks like the argument is generational now. Ah well indeed.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a mentor, a friend, and a moral compass for me and so many others. A universal spirit, Archbishop Tutu was grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in his own country, but also concerned with injustice everywhere.

Joe Biden: "I'm tired of talking about Donald Trump. I don't want to talk about him anymore."

[Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters]

Yes! We must investigate the security breach at the Capitol today. I warned our Caucus and had an hour long conversation with the Chief of Police 4days ago. He assured me the terrorists would not be allowed on the plaza & Capitol secured. What the hell?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Words have consequences, especially the words of a president and his allies. Today those consequences include violent rioters attacking our Capitol to overthrow the American democratic process. This must end, and democracy must prevail.
