@ZimbabwePete TY for sharing this.

Among the many things I thought I'd never see, the resurgence of blatant antisemitism shocks and confounds me. This piece cuts right to the heart of it — and of the most intractable feature of perpetual Middle East conflict — with brutal precision.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

@MarcoFoster_ Thank you @ScottPelley. Too few people in
positions of influence are acting with integrity and courage. We need more like you in these perilous times.

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

@ChrisCuomo @megynkelly has shown herself a shameless opportunista. I’m sure she fancies herself on the “new” 60 Minutes. Too bad about your little anti-Israel kerfuffles Meg. @bariweiss no likey.

[Heather Lee @calcottager]

@HowardKurtz I agree that @bariweiss is often unfairly criticized, but this business with 60 Minutes seems indefensible.

I really like that animal well-being is an issue that many on the right and left agree on.

[Heather Lee @calcottager]

@SteveSchmidtSES Well said. Kudos to @ScottPelley

[Heather Lee @calcottager]

@Variety @bariweiss Trust or fealty?

[Heather Lee @calcottager]

@RollingStone Thank you @ScottPelley for speaking up for integrity in journalism! 🙏❤️🗽🗞️

@Dalbodog Obviously!

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

@ZimbabwePete Brilliant. Intelligent, insightful, cogent, and genuinely entertaining. Pres. Stubb seems both scholar and pragmatist, with a deep grasp of "Peace and Conflict" dynamics. How I wish we saw more leadership of this caliber—especially here at home. Let's all "be more Finnish!"

[Heather Lee @calcottager]

@InspGadgetBlogs That is the only correct answer.

[Heather Lee @calcottager]

@ZimbabwePete Awful. The internet captures these isolated souls and fuels victimhood with hatred, rage, grievance, and toxic memes.

Indeed, no one can win if the only answer they feel society gives them is to meme up, arm up, and tear it all down.

Can’t stop believing … #LoveIsTheAnswer

@Martina Yes!!
