@KLM Please answer the phone. You canceled my return ticket home so I can't manage it myself online. I can fly out of BRU instead of AMS on Fri but need to reach you! Please!
@DLeeStudio@DavidKorins You've done and built and created so many magical places in the 22+ years I've known you. I can't wait for you to recreate this scene in 23 more.

Here's to #InaugurationDay2021! @JoeBiden@KamalaHarris
Delighted to see my friend @PilarGuzman getting the chance to have this conversation with @JoeBiden and speak for so many like her who are working hard, supporting their community... and making delicious food!
#Impeachment2 with no hope of removing #Trump from office still matters, even beyond the importance of accountability. Why? Because a Senate conviction is needed to pass a subsequent resolution barring him from future office. No #Trump2024!
I applaud the readiness, but seeping all over the floor?! I mean... They haven't invented pop-up cots that fit in a pack? If my kids' daycare can do it, why can't the National Guard?
Just walked into the Capitol to find literally hundreds of troops napping and lining up in the Congressional Visitor Center— as streets around here are largely blocked.
Many are cuddling their firearms, fatigues over their heads to block light, and riot gear in neat piles.
@drcolleenmurphy Reconciliation is vital. But let's not confuse it with appeasement. We know where that train goes. (Thanks, Colleen, for making clear that true reconciliation requires accountability.)
@BrankoMilan But Branko, do you also believe that monopolies have no responsibility to the public good, and that the more important public good is unlimited speech, even if inciting to violence and hate?
