Nothing speaks better to how crazy air travel was back in the 1950s and 1960s. Would you like carton of cigarettes to go with your beer, Sir?

Fortunately, history does not work as Hegseth seems to believe. It is never "settled" and the government cannot (at least for now!) impose its interpretation of events on the rest of us--especially an interpretation so at odds with the historical record. 6/

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

As I was saying…

Op Ed by President of the AAUP chapter at UT Austin. Let teachers teach, let students learn. #AcademicFreedom #DefendHigherEd

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

A delightful moment of joy amid unending difficult days.

Guy in front of me in Ashe is actually eating the infamous $100 chicken-nuggets-with-caviar, which I thought was more of a parody than an actual menu item which people bought. We could almost certainly be taxing the rich more. #USOpen

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.” Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.

One more Sinner-Alcaraz grand slam final this year. I can’t wait to see more greatness. #USOpen

“Oh, and jobs are growing, prices are dropping, and the economy is booming, Emperor.”

Unprecedented: Nine former directors of the CDC (with a collective 100 years at the helm) warning that the HHS Sec. is endangering the lives of all Americans. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

"Museums are not stages for loyalty. They are civic laboratories. They are places where we wrestle with contradictions, encounter the unfamiliar and widen our circle of empathy."

The CEO for Starbucks made $95.8 million last year while the average worker for the company earned $14,674.

I'm proud of the OAH @oah.org for this statement. (OAH member)

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.

Smithsonian exhibits "are the product of a lot of hard work by dedicated and honorable people who want to present the most accurate picture of American history as possible. That includes the triumphs and the tragedies.” --Annette Gordon-Reed, president of the Organization of American Historians

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees: ✔️ due process for all ✔️ birthright citizenship ✔️ equal protection under the law Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

SCOTUS's recent Planned Parenthood decision "reveals something about the current majority’s pursuit of a long-term goal: ridding American law of the notion that if a right is violated, there must be a remedy." Thanks, Linda Greenhouse. Well said! www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/o...

Imagine being so fragile that inclusion feels like a threat, but authoritarianism—just another Sunday.

Wow, more than twice as many 18-24 voters as the reliable 70-74 voters (retired with plenty of free time to vote). Young voters can see how all of the rest of us (their elders) have really screwed things up. What does this portend for the general election? Or elections outside NYC?

“What’s at stake is far more than one presidency or one institution: it’s the role of our public universities as bastions of intellectual freedom, diversity of thought, and innovation in a democratic society.”

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

"We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into." -- Donald Trump inaugural address, Jan. 20, 2025 The biggest lie ever from the biggest liar in American history

That's right--Congress Do Your Job!

"And when the radical priest comes to get me released, we was all on the cover of Newsweek..."

Proud of the many Angelenos, including Buried Under the Blue, for standing up and speaking out, proud of Neeza's bold choice, proud of my native city. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/u...

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

Never forget: They took away 104 days of his freedom, prevented him from being at the birth of his child, for no other reason than they didn't like what he had to say. Happy that Mahmoud is out. May justice prevail.

An apt metaphor for Elon’s time as a “government employee”

“a joyfully defiant dance party of pissed off people” !! -No Kings Day

No better way to build morale in the military than forcing troops to march down largely empty streets in a thunderstorm to celebrate a draft dodger’s birthday

Upon reflection, I’m glad I live in a nation where the military isn’t great at marching for rulers. Let’s try to keep it that way

"A tyrant is unfit to be a ruler of the free people" - The Declaration of Independence

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Yes! Go Philly! (Wait, that's me. You can tell, right? 😉)

I'm pretty sure that more people showed up to my last birthday than they did to this presidential military parade, and I didn't even promise them tanks

Love this -- fired-up seniors! 👇

Proud of the Love City today! No Kings! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfOi...
