@WendellPierce Hear, hear!!!

@WendellPierce you are truly a great actor. I got to see the play today. I don't get to very many plays & I'm so glad I was present. Also, I love what you said on CNN reflecting on Juneteenth and the corruption, greed, racism, etc of our current day. Thank you!

@danamunro2 @washingtonpost A once truly great newspaper lost its soul when Bezos bought it. We only learned this when he decided to kiss the ring of the Presidential candidate in Fall 2024. Journalism can thrive rising out of the ashes of numerous once-great institutions.

This person's father's editorial is so true.

As 2025 comes to a close, I'm continuing a tradition that I started during my time in the White House: sharing my annual lists of favorite books, movies, and music. I hope you find something new to enjoy—and please send any recommendations for me to check out!

"Russians don’t count their dead. But they do count every dollar and every euro they lose."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Together with partners, we are working not only to stop the bloodshed, but to change the situation along Russia’s borders – so that there is no opportunity to start another war. It is also about making Russia finally learn to live by the rule of law. And it will only work if there is true accountability – if the punishment for the aggressor becomes inevitable.

Right now, European leaders have the decision on the table regarding frozen Russian assets. Most of these assets are located in Europe. These Russian assets can and must be fully used to defend against Russia’s own aggression. The aggressor must pay. This is also about restoring justice – and in a way that Russia will truly feel.

Putin does not believe in people. He believes only in power and in money. Russians don’t count their dead. But they do count every dollar and every euro they lose. That is why a strong decision on Russian money is needed. These funds must work to defend against Russia. I urge you to support this. I said this during a speech in the Dutch parliament.

My friend Jane Goodall was the wisest and most compassionate person I've ever met. She could make anybody feel hopeful about the future…no matter the hardships of the present. Just this weekend, she wrote to let me know she was thinking about what she could do to alleviate all of the suffering in Gaza, in Ukraine, in Sudan, and beyond. She was my hero, my inspiration. I will miss her every single day.

@TimLemkeTweets @Joseph_Fasano_ I love taking photos of art I love in museums everywhere. I soak it in then can remember it later. I usually photograph the artist name and title of the painting or sculpture.

This short video statement by Nawal El Saadawi explains the term Middle East quite well. She was a fascinating woman, who died four years ago at age 89 - https://t.co/kDEJ8lK1ox

@DanRodricks Thank you. I almost stopped halfway through but realized I wanted & needed a full Zen minute. 🙂

@WendellPierce What a monster this President is.

@thomaschattwill I just read this article. They said up front "I never understood what 'objectivity' meant. I didn’t consider it a standard for our newsroom. My goals for our journalism were instead accuracy, fairness, nonpartisanship, accountability and the pursuit of truth."

[Skip Auld @RanganathanLib]

Now here is an outstanding example of exceptional leadership. Clear, incisive leadership. Worthy of your attention for 7 minutes:

Listen to the Finnish president—this is what a real leader sounds like, unlike the nonsense Trump says.

[Skip Auld @RanganathanLib]

Wow. Another Nazi salute. I'll betcha fifty bucks the MAGA crowds will be giving these salutes en masse before the year ends.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

@sarahbration great story on typewriters. My part-time job in college was typing term papers for $1.00 an hour. I used a Smith-Corona (not Corona Smith) ;-) :-)

Stephanie is singing at 7:30pm. Richmond friends: hoping to see you!
