More than half of the posts I am seeing are in French. I took Spanish and German and can recognize but not read French. And they aren't people I am following. Hmm.

Why scissor lifts and 3 hours to install - then it requires scaffolding, harnesses and 24+ hours to take it down? Just curious. Hope those guys are hourly.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

There is a "march for peace" going on. Monks walking from Ft. Worth, TX to Washington DC. They are currently in West Point, Georgia and should pass through our small town today. The crowds coming out to just watch them pass by are amazing. People are getting tired of hate. It's encouraging.✌️☮️

It would seem to me that, rather than filling the ocean with illegal drugs and harming the ecosystem, it would be more helpful to get these boat guys and find out where the drugs are coming from and stop the flow from there. But what do I know?

My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.

It is amazing how quickly they had all the right sized lettering to put up on The Kennedy Center. Less than 24 hours after the “surprise” renaming. Government wheels didn’t work that fast when I worked for them.
