The World Cup is the joy, camaraderie, and humanity I definitely knew I needed in my life. But this shootout between Germany🇩🇪and Paraguay🇵🇾is the drama I had no clue I needed in my life⚽️

The Knicks last won an NBA championship in 1973. Here’s what NYC looked like 53 years ago.
Cheap rent, cheap subways, the birth of hip-hop and the opening of the World Trade Center.

If you’re running for office at any level and want my vote, start talking about action you will take to protect and expand voting rights, voting access…our democracy! I care about many other policies but none of those happen if the votes of our neighbors are blocked and our democracy dies.

Sexual harassment is about power and control. Eric Swalwell abused power. This disqualifies him from a position of power. Whispers, rumors, delayed allegations that are ignored, dismissed, or refuted as lies or conspiracy is how abuse of power succeeds. Don’t be complicit.

My entire feed that’s usually nastiness and nonsense is now filled with pics of communities coming together to participate in No Kings — people engaging in civic life and standing up to a wannabe king, literally what our country was founded on. Almost like that’s the point🤔

Jesse Jackson was the first person I ever voted for—in the 1988 Pennsylvania presidential primary days after I turned 18. I voted for him because of the hope, inclusion & possibility core to his message & campaign. May Jesse Jackson rest in power & may hope, inclusion & possibility guide us on.

Nonsense outrage over Bad Bunny performing the Super Bowl halftime show and U.S. Olympic athletes exercising their constitutional right to free speech underscores maga’s total and willful misunderstanding of our Constitution, culture, and commerce. Bad-faith outrage from bad-faith patriots.

Two great films about The Washington Post and the role of journalism are 2017’s “The Post” and, of course, “All the President’s Men” but if you want to see a terrifying (and exceptionally well made) film about media, see “Network” Made in 1976 and fiction, this film lays out how we got here.

Yesterday, tens of thousands of people exercised this right to shut down Minneapolis, and religious leaders engaged in civil disobedience with moral courage and dignity. These Americans are not the enemy, they are patriots standing up for our rights and for what is right. 2/

One bleak year on from the presidential inauguration, I still feel sadness, anger, fear…and a glimmer of elusive hope. The inauguration of the first woman Governor of Virginia Abigail Spanberger on Saturday and of new New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill today helps with the hope.

Greenland should not become part of the U.S. but looking at the protest pictures, I would really like to visit Greenland and Copenhagen. In general, I’d like to think about countries as places I want to travel to and not as places my country wants to take over.

I remember reading, rereading, then reading out loud “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”. Witty, clever, lyrical, rhythmic, of “Hamlet” but totally original to Hamlet. A testament to Shakespeare, yes — and the brilliance of Tom Stoppard. RIP.

This was before the federal food stamp act of 1964. My point is this: my Mom’s family depended on the kindness of a ghostly stranger because there was no safety net. Today, we have one — and it’s our president’s job to protect it not use it for political leverage. 3/*
