Once a tenor. Once a violinist. Always a reader, liberal, humanist, feminist. Likes Dodgers, Patriots, waltzes, chamber music, silence. Home is where I am.

Why is @Twitter allowing a crazy man to use its platform to organize an authoritarian coup, an overthrow of the elected govt?

Can we just pause to note that all of this was entirely PREVENTABLE? As always, our PM ignored the scientific advice. He allowed the virus to mutate, spread like billy-oh and here we are: many more deaths, job losses, breakdowns etc. It's criminal ineptitude, it really is

COVID-19 cases in our capital are extremely high and continue to rise.

Londoners must stay at home as much as possible. Not only will it slow the transmission of the fast-spreading new variant, but it will also help save countless lives.

Former Defense Secretary William Cohen just said this on @CNN:

"All of us [10 living defense secretaries] came to the same conclusion that we are in danger, that we have a commander-in-chief who is not above trying to use the military in order to achieve a political objective."

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Your vote is your voice. It’s your power. And right now, from the President of the United States on down, we’re seeing and hearing just how desperate some are to take that power away. They want us to believe that their pride is more important than our democracy.

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a multiyear probe.

358,830 died thanks to Trump’s malevolence: They cheer him on, deny his election loss, and try to shred the Constitution.
