So glad the @NewYorker shared this magnificent gut-wrenching chronicle of how 6 ordinary people experienced the #AtomicBomb in #Hiroshima as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of that atrocity. www.newyorker.com/magazine/194...

Hiroshima
A hundred thousand people were killed by the atomic bomb. Survivors wonder why they lived when so many others died.

World leaders - stand together against this war and all wars. Diplomacy is hard, dialogue with your adversaries is hard, peace making is hard. But that’s why you were elected — to do the hard thing. The right thing. Do your duty!

Trump says he’s fired the chairman of the Kennedy Center and named himself chairman.
Trump: At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to
immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!
Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP. The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
