@USCCB I pray that the New York Archdiocese participates this year. Truly shameful that it has withdrawn support for several years.

@ChrisCuomo Are you suggesting that the First Amendment only applies to citizens? That would be bone-headed.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

There is an aggressor: Russia.

There is a victim: Ukraine.

We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.

By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.

Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

@BCDreyer Such a shame, but understandable. When this was twitter, I first followed @LyleLovett which led me to his wonderful interactions with @duchessgoldblat which led me to her book and and then to you and your entertaining and educational book and posts here.

While it didn’t work out the way I wanted it, I am still thankful that when I was stuck in my house during COVID in ‘20-‘21, I got to watch @KDTrey5 play basketball for the @BrooklynNets every day. Still the best player ever to lace up sneakers in NYC. Thanks!
