@nytimes.com I think it is pretty dastardly by your subscription department to be told, as a subscriber of probably 20+ years, that UNLESS I upgrade to all accounts access you will continue to pester me repeatedly with "validate your identity" tasks anytime I try to read an article online.

Many in the U.S. who really have no vested interest in whether Spain or Argentina wins the World Cup are avidly cheering for Spain because Argentina & Trump are so chummy, and they would love to see Trump have to hand the trophy to Spain on worldwide TV! If so though, he'll probably cry "rigged."

I pledge allegiance to the flag, because of the country for which it once stood, not one now divisible by those in oligarchal power, not one honoring only a white Christian nationalist God, not one granting liberty for the crimes of January 6th, and not one perverting justice for Trump’s revenge.

Thank goodness we no longer have to require young school students to memorize and learn the functions of the three branches of U.S. government. The Judicial and Legislative branches can be dispensed with as they are now subsumed under the Executive branch. Thank you judges and members of Congress!

It is incomprehensible to me how Trump and his minions can be so despicable and hateful as human beings. Whatever is in their brains and in their souls is so toxic and evil that they need to change their MAGA hats to CAUTION HAZARDOUS MATERIAL hats.

@lastword.msnbc.com The first 28 minutes of Monday's June 2 show should be mandatory viewing for every citizen in the U.S. It was a searing indictment of how Trump's insanity is often met with just shrugs! Also, please have more from Evan Osnos! I asked our public library to order his newest book.

Just got my first ever BLOCk in BSKY from an alleged woman with an MPH who didn't learn any human relation skills getting her degree unless they taught her to call people a hoe if they disagree with her tacky remarks about Biden's health. ‪Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH‬ ‪@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social‬

What a heartbreak it would have been for these young kids! I'm happy Gov. Pritzer metaphorically poked a needle in Trump's eye for acting with such malevolent cruelty. I wish the concert could be livestreamed all over the USA in a gesture saying "this is America" !

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show. But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

"He has erected a New Office called DOGE and sent hither a swarm of tech youth to harrass our people and eat out their substance." With apologies to Thomas Jefferson.

If a crook named Putin broke into your HOME, raped your wife, stole your children, killed your dog, burned your furniture, smashed everything & pissed all over the whole house, would you let the U.S. tell you to first give THEM 25% of your paycheck forever & let Putin keep two rooms in your home.

Term used in the Economist: Carthaginian Peace. Wikipedia: "The imposition of a very brutal peace intended to permanently cripple losing side. The term derives from peace terms imposed on the Carthaginian Empire by the Roman Republic following the Punic Wars." Trump trying to say Ukraine is losing.

Feeling so bad that after his attempt to shame and chastise Zelensky, Trump will now have to settle for only getting a third presidential term and having his head carved onto Mt. Rushmore instead of getting the Nobel Peace Prize medal he is lusting and salivating over.
