80 years later the New Jersey Department of Education is derelict of its duties | Opinion – Mosaic I I could not have written this without various records I attained through #OPRA It’s unfortunate that there are many other failures I uncovered with #OPRA https://t.co/Y1X6V4Q6o6
Hey @SolomonforJC, the Jersey City Clerk is violating the law by refusing to accept email/faxed OPRA requests. This means Jersey City is also rejecting OPRAmachine requests. See next tweet for the law...1/2
One small example about how NJ government has gotten less transparent: Legislators used to have to disclose the properties they own, including addresses. Now they don't even have to disclose their properties' existence unless they're renting them out.
We honor the life of Dr. #JohannaFernández. From 2007–08, she was a fellow in our Scholars-in-Residence Program. Her book, The #YoungLords, was based on her research here. In 2019, she hosted a program about them. #SchomburgCenter#RIPJohannaFernández https://t.co/WOgnWdDgMg
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”
- Søren Kierkegaard
Søren Kierkegaard wrote these words in an 1847 letter to his ailing sister-in-law, emphasizing that walking was essential not only for physical health but also for mental clarity. The Danish philosopher, who was known for his daily walks through the streets of Copenhagen, believed that constant movement was one of the best remedies for existential anxiety and mental stagnation.
By saying he could walk away from even his heaviest thoughts, Kierkegaard portrayed walking as more than a simple distraction. He saw it as a powerful way to work through grief, anxiety, and life’s most difficult questions. His words remain a timeless reminder that physical movement can inspire emotional and intellectual progress, while remaining still can leave us feeling trapped.
The decision reinforces the fact that confidential research can be a valuable form of intellectual property in its own right, particularly during technology-transfer, licensing and investment discussions where unpublished expertise may prove just as… https://t.co/OMSB4YRvky
أب لم يكن قادرًا على تحمّل تكاليف علاج ابنه، فكان يأخذه كل صباح إلى الشاطئ ويدفنه في الرمال حتى خصره بوضعية الوقوف، على أمل أن تقوى ساقاه ويتعلم الوقوف والمشي. 💔
@TheNJAmistad@DrLRepollet@KeanUniversity Remembering when he was commissioner @NewJerseyDOE and foiled the great plan to have the institute at the 2019 commemoration event centered on the 1619 project so it could be done at Kean. Have they had it there every year since?
It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always

Lots of towns have adopted policies that try to restrict the public's right to pull out their cell phone and record the meeting. So, we're taking one town to court!

These New Jersey rules have worked well in the administration of criminal justice and they have not precluded sentence review even when there was an agreement not to appeal the sentence. https://t.co/xJGLCGU4qj
🚨Lionel Messi on hugging Lamine Yamal after Argentina's World Cup final defeat to Spain:
“That was a moment I'll carry with me forever. Football can be cruel, but it also gives you moments that are bigger than trophies. Hugging Lamine after the final reminded me how beautiful this game really is.”
“I still can't believe I was embracing the same baby I once bathed all those years ago. Life has a funny way of coming full circle, and seeing him become a World Cup champion filled me with pride despite the pain of the defeat.”
“I know he'll continue from where I left off at Barcelona. He has the talent, the personality, and the love for the club to write his own incredible story. I wish him nothing but success because the future of football is in great hands.”
The most unforgettable moment of the 2026 World Cup final.
At just 18, Lamine Yamal has already established himself as one of football’s brightest stars, earning comparisons to Lionel Messi for his dribbling, vision, and creativity. Years before his rise, Yamal appeared in a charity photoshoot with Messi, a moment many fans now view as a symbolic passing of the torch.
But Yamal isn’t following Messi’s path—he’s creating his own. With fearless performances for Barcelona and Spain, he’s writing the first chapters of what could become an extraordinary career.
