I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

I can't stop thinking about how many men read that Snapchat and did nothing. How many men in that house knew a woman was being gang raped and did nothing. This is why we say all men. Bc it's your friends, your besties, your fellow frat bros and you do nothing to stop them.

When you realize your punishments as a child (stay home, take a nap, go to bed early) are now your goals as an adult.

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

My FDNY husband lost 343 brothers and 40% of his lung capacity that day. He still wakes up to the sound of bodies hitting concrete. He didn’t see Trump there, but then again he didn’t see him with the 25th Infantry in Vietnam either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Since 2003, an anonymous "grammar vigilante" in Bristol has been correcting misplaced apostrophes on shop signs and street signs at night. He uses a long-handled tool called the "apostrophiser" to reach high signs and fix errors like "Amy's Nail's" and "Cambridge Motor's". By day, he is a mild-mannered engineer who considers his work a cause worth pursuing.

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

In early August, I contracted listeria, a bacterial infection from food poisoning. It hit me so hard that I ended up in the hospital for four days with severe dehydration and injured kidneys. I’m fine now but be extra careful with what you eat these days. It’s no joke.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
