To former @washpost @PostGuild employees: After Matt Murray axed me from the WSJ in 2010 I got good advice. Get and keep EVERYTHING in writing from the union + company: your severance agreement, performance reviews, plaudits, all emails esp from lawyers. **Get a signed recommendation from Murray.

This @nytimes article irked me. It equates #Palestinian protest with campus protest, which always wither. Why not visit neighborhoods that rallied to the cause? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

#NoKings signs #NYC.

Astonishing that this #NYstate AG report on #Cuomo as governor is rarely discussed. As with all political scandals, the problem lies not just in allegations, but the willingness to investigate, address by staff. ag.ny.gov/sites/defaul...

#NYCmayor race shows how a local super PAC can dodge spending limits. Great @thecity.nyc www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/09/c...

When citizens accept the revoked rights of “others”—minorities, “radicals,” migrants, outcasts— know that citizens will eventually be targeted.

Enhanced anything from the US govt tends toward the awful.

Please note that I have a negative attitude about denying US residents, visitors and visa holders their constitutionally protected legal rights to free speech. Not sure it’s hostile but check back. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

It seems #MahmoudKhalil has been arrested not on a public order warrant but for speech that somehow supports a terrorist organization. What is the case law that defines such support? Might his arrest encourage the DOJ to prosecute a new realm of odious or unpopular political views?

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01... Many poor and rural Americans (and Trump voters) smoke nicotine. Does #Kennedy support denying elderly smokers Medicare?

Medicaid is not strictly for the poor. 100K+cancer patients are enrolled. Medicaid expansion improved health, including survival rates. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

@ayhcheung.com was an academic and citizen of #HongKong who noted amid 2014 Umbrella Mvt - yrs before #NSL - how his hometown weaponized bureaucracy and law to attack critics and rivals. His obituary in @globeandmail www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Every action mentioned in this testimony from #JimmyLai’s trial was done months *before* the HK security law. (Buying ads, meetings, calls for sanctions.)In other words, they were all legal. hongkongfp.com/2024/03/21/g...
