“When social media posts from the president are aimed at Harvard—because apparently he’s taking a short break from the serious business of maligning Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift.” (Line from @nytimes editorial. Yes, really.) #CommanderInBeef

Another day in the life of: (Picking up theater tickets at a box office) TICKET AGENT: Is your name really Kenneth Cole? ME: It is. TICKET AGENT: I used to wear his stuff when I was cooler.  ME: So did I.  TICKET AGENT: Is he still alive? ME: I believe so.

Decades of acclaim. Beloved by millions… with an Oscar, a Tony, Golden Globe, & countless Grammys… But true validation finally comes for Bruce from the ultimate connoisseur, music critic, and wannabe “Boss”…on Truth Social…

Almost 15 yrs later… so much that we took for granted, we don’t today. (1 step forward 10 back). Paying Taxes is apparently the only privilege we can rely upon. #TaxDay

There’s been rumors about an (unnamed) designer becoming another year older today. I’ve reached out for comment: “No birthday this year. Not feeling it.” Aging—postponed until further notice. #FalseAlarm

Social impact has always been an integral part of the Kenneth Cole brand. I’ve believed that our voice is our greatest accessory, and that it’s vital that we use our platform to serve the community.

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to remember, reflect on, and celebrate the iconic #NelsonMandela. He inspired an entire generation and was a beacon of hope for so many. I had the honor of working with him in our “We All Have AIDS” campaign in 05’. #ForeverInspired

For the 20th year, #Sundance has allowed this unknown young designer to be the official brand for the volunteers…he is the one that is not Kenneth Cole. Calling all volunteers to post your #KennethCole jacket pics and tag the designer.

This Undocumented immigrant shit is crazy. They have a lower % of criminal activity than their Amer counterparts & contribute an Est $400-600B to US economy annually… (including; labor force, payment of taxes, & contrib to SS & Medicare). & most Amer’s dont want 80% of the jobs they do.

Today we bid farewell to Cecile Richards, a tireless champion, for repro rights. The irony of her passing on this Inauguration Day is meaningful. Her legacy stands as both a beacon and a call to action. Rest in power, Cecile - Your work and impact has continued to inspire and will endure…

If you said something on X, and nobody saw it, did you say it? And if yes, is it still offensive?
