They got Claudine Gay out of the Harvard presidency over a footnote.

And, true to form, he had undocumented workers from Poland do the demolition. He eventually paid $1.375 million to settle the workers' case against him. From the Independent, November 28, 2017:

Bonwit Teller 2.0.😡

What an unprecedented POS

I live in Costa Rica most of the time and we had dozens of voting American expats at the U.S. embassy on Saturday. To hit 4% or 11 million people protesting we lets count global voters. @democratsabroadcr.bsky.social

I’m a protesting Gran-Tifa…”There’s a reason that…tyrants have been driven from office not by a violent revolution but by mass protests that became too powerful to resist. The more people see their fellow citizens out protesting, the more they question whether the regime deserves their support.” 💚

Other than an excellent opinion piece by @shteyngart.bsky.social, the @nytimes.com apparently has no follow-up stories on the "No Kings" demonstrations, one of the largest days of political protest in U.S. history. They don't even get a mention in the U.S. News and Politics homepage roundups.

Halla good news #iceland #geothermal #GreenEnergy

I just so angry about the further wrecking the #environment and the cruel names - the new “National Energy Dominance Council” that aims to “boost fossil fuel exports and open more (federal) land up to critical minerals production. What the F is going on with these crazy people? @motherjones.com

Why not… “force a constitutional confrontation over whether the federal government can target states for political punishment while continuing to demand unquestioned fiscal obedience” ? Good reporting work and ideas @eric-reinhart.com

Breathtaking incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Not even one day to enjoy the global #NoKings protest.

@democratsabroadcr.bsky.social and defiance takes courage.

@democratsabroadcr.bsky.social good group in #SanJose #CostaRica #notyrants #DumpTrump

Best No Kings sign #Lisbon

Will be great to know the numbers worldwide. Nice turnout at the U.S. Embassy San Jose, Costa Rica today.

Trump is such an F-ing asshole in every way possible.

Cuomo ranting about protestors ahead of what is likely to be a giant and very popular protest on Saturday is quite a choice

Courage is spreading all over the world, not just in America. I’m a U.S. citizen and will be protesting in San Jose, Costa Rica. #nonviolence can’t miss #nokings @indivisible.org 💚

#NYT gift article, fascinating story involving #FrancescaAlbanese. The author says “This (US) administration does not claim to have a conscience, and seeks to punish any country or person that aspires to have one.” #ICC www.icc-cpi.int #sanctions #InternationalCriminalCourt

The propaganda spewing from Trump's departments and agencies blaming Democrats for the government shutdown is blatantly illegal. We have the Hatch Act for a reason. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trump-regime-is-wildly-violating

secret police are trying to provoke riots in the streets to justify a harsh crackdown on dissent and the Democratic Party. They’re kicking in doors and dragging screaming American citizen children into the cold night. They’re shooting priests in the head with pepperballs.” Read @hartmannreport.com

Oh my god that’s so true! Such an evil pr*ck.

I really hope so @jamellebouie.net. Would be a refreshing change of pace and FU to #Mamdani detractors

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Follow this thread for more background on ‘that dude running for #USSenate in #Maine’ Pay attention people! #Mainers vote #JanetMills she knows how to stand up for #democracy 🌹

THIS!!

I’ll be protesting and demonstrating this Saturday Oct 18 in #CostaRica at the U.S. Embassy. Come and defy tyrants everywhere. I’m bringing my watch dog Glowie! Please say hi 👋

Let’s turn out in force! I’m in Costa Rica and will be protesting in San Jose on Oct. 18. It’s a worldwide protest against tyrants and #NoKings in #America. @newrepublic.com @gregsargent.bsky.social @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com

Say his name. #SilverioVillegasGonzalez How do you tell his innocent children that their only father, their totally innocent father, will never come home?

Yikes… reading is crucial, fun and informative. I love hosting a book club with a good friend. It’s online and so fulfilling. It’s called Regenerative Reads for those interested in groundbreaking ideas and inspiring stories that make a difference in the natural world. 😍

We need more judges eviscerating Trump’s dangerous #BS orders and stopping #ICE with brutal verbal takedowns. 💪🏼 Thanks George @georgetakei.bsky.social

I’m a fangirl for @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @markruffalo.bsky.social a lefty, progressive, pro-Palestine, Avenger 😍 Nice interview

Just so heartening and smart to watch (or listen to). @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social @theatlantic.com #KenBurns #TheAmericanRevolution #PBS @pbs.org #TomHanks

Now this is a great obituary for the one and only Diane Keaton. Rolling Stone always nails it. ❤️‍🩹

Absolute legend. But really, *those* are the movies we're naming? She won an Oscar for ANNIE HALL and more than held her own with an all-star cast in the GODFATHER films.

Good piece: DOGE was the battering ram, but Russ Vought was the one enabling it, and then hiding it's impacts.

Thank you @babsvan.bsky.social for your movie 🍿 insights 🦋💚

The headline itself is clickbait, but really Pope Leo himself is direct telling journalists “I urge you: never sell out your authority”

Wow too bad Porter was such a douchebag, I’m surprised. Maybe she was just tired and frustrated or just over her head. #JulieWatts was great.

Such a great question for a thread with mostly really positive or *Great* responses 🥳

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown. Where are House Republicans? On vacation. Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

I love the intelligent *Chat Banter* and conversations happening on this thread. Read it all the way down for thoughtful comments and ideas.

I appreciate the reporting and POV of @coloradosun.com on this issue and many other topics.

Macron has this right too: ‘The second thing is that in our societies, we must also rediscover a sense of respect, particularly respect between all citizens and towards those who hold democratic office.”

Great thread, paying attention “The EU wants AI to become a ‘strategic asset’ deeply integrated into its institutions, industry, and security policy.”

Isn’t this news from The Onion? “America's Finest News Source.”

Now that looks just like assault with the intent to kill a defenseless protester from behind.

This is how you do it!
