Trump is demonstrating once again the depth of his own corruption. It is long overdue for honorable Republicans to stand up for integrity against this felon. Former President of Honduras Is Freed From Prison After Trump Pardon https://t.co/uPbwIt0S0Y

Nothing reveals so clearly Trump's mocking of the poor who voted for him than his "Great Gatsby" themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Logo. Shameful. https://t.co/8yUsXf3jFJ

If Donald Trump follows through on his threat to resume nuclear testing, it will be his ultimate crime against humanity and should be treated accordingly by Congress, the courts, and the American people.

I have been avoiding Tweet since Elon took it over, turned it into X, and made it a propaganda machine for his personal interests. But I miss all my followers. So have decided to try to revive that connection. Hope to hear from you. David Korten

Our consumer financial watchdog -- which has returned more than $21 billion to Americans -- is under attack by some in Congress and the Administration. Urge your members to stand up for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. https://t.co/pzSMTfNjDM

If the goal is to reduce government spending, I suggest we start by terminating govt contracts with Musk companies. That will save many billions for mostly useless projects.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

@KamalaHarris 😀Go Pamala!

@kenklippenstein The arrogance of Tim Burner's comments is breathtaking & aligned with current business thinking. The resulting outrage is appropriate and encouraging. It is also encouraging that Tim has apologized and acknowledged his error. May other execs do the same.

@KateRaworth @BBCRadio4 @bethsawin Donella was one of the great breakthrough thinkers of her time. This is a beautiful and timely remembrance. It was my privilege to have been a close friend and colleague. Her real passion was her farm. Her computer modeling was a sideline.

The brilliant Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - is a hero to me, so it was an unmissable opportunity to talk about her life and work on @BBCRadio4 Great Lives. You can catch it here. https://t.co/iEN31myek4 #ecologicaleconomics #systemsthinking @bethsawin

I've been avoiding this social media site since it changed management. But find I miss it. So have decided to give it another try and see how it goes.
