@chrisricewriter My condolences. Your mother Anne was one of my favorite novelists. Her books line my shelves. I cannot begin to recount the hours of pleasure her novels gave me. What a loss for lovers of great literature everywhere!
@EmilyGould Hi Emily, just finished Perfect Tunes. Want to send you an email about how much I enjoyed it. Can I have your email address? I'm at [email protected] --Thanks.
Know why @realDonaldTrump shrugs at breaking the law? "Trump did not see the law as impediment, a mind-set forged as a real estate developer [who] could always just sue, battle it out in court, and negotiate some middle ground." “A Very Stable Genius,” Rucker & Leoning, p.307
More pizza & fries, less fruits & veggies for school kids. That's @realDonaldTrump 's #USDA plan, now being proposed for our #schools. No end to this man's outrages. https://t.co/c3QMqJJduW
Bet you never thought that the super rich would be more content, if not downright happy, with their lives than everyone else. Go figure. https://t.co/PK0mvSvF1k
"A new YouGov survey found Germans consider President Trump more dangerous to world peace than North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Un or Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the German broadcaster DW." Read the excerpt from George Orwell: https://t.co/LDpOU08HUQ
Remember when @realDonaldTrump admin said it was only against "illegal" immigrants? Bull: the new #Trump policy penalizing green card applicants who LEGALLY use public benefits affects LEGAL, documented immigrants. In other words: #Make America white again.
I never thought I'd find myself in support of #Walmart; by all means, the mega-retailer deserves praise for its decision to ban violent video game displays. (Screw the right wing laissez-faire boycott!) Now let's push #Walmart to stop selling firearms and ammo!
#Americans realize that the @realDonaldTrump's racist invective is deeply responsible for the slaughter of people--think El Paso, #Dayton, #TreeofLife, etc. But killing people is apparently not enough: now they're unleashing an animal slaughter plan. https://t.co/ISb8i4Tbr6
Think NYC's offer of nearly $3 billion to Amazon for the promise of future jobs (most for techies who could work anywhere) was outrageous? How about the granting of $6 BILLION to Hudson Yards for luxury housing and retail? https://t.co/xa9qW0OdG7
More on @realDonaldTrump's hypocrisy: Before promoting his crackpot "wall" to keep out undocumented workers, he hired many of those same workers. When this practice is exposed, he rushes to fire them. https://t.co/p04pbCPgty
So-called "free market" think tanks "provide a powerful voice of support to #cigarette manufacturers in battles against tougher regulations." Tobacco, btw, kills more than 7 million people a year, according to WHO. https://t.co/ulfm4adnwE
Spoiler alert: In the age of @realDonaldTrump and Putin, we have to be super-careful about voting for spoilers like Jill Stein, Green candidate for #POTUS, even if we agree with their positions. https://t.co/ZlXNoUvIFS
The only thing that works against the #FossilFuels polluters: #divestment. Best headline in a long time: "At last, #divestment is hitting the fossil fuel industry where it hurts" https://t.co/7wBnnqYEDA
Nothing about @realDonaldTrump's administration shocks anymore. "The Department of Agriculture announced its plans to lower nutritional standards for grains, flavored milks and sodium in school cafeterias." https://t.co/dJP3z8c7xA
