Dad 110th bday today!
Trying to imagine him working in these times. Think he would be talking about his family’s loss in the Depression, friends who died in the War, Catholic social teaching & values he learned from his Mom & Dad. He created Peace Corps, Job Corps, & Head Start. @sargentshriver.org

So many beautiful memories of him: his amazing family (here with niece Roberta), support of @specialolympicstn.bsky.social & (RED), and laughs. A superstar at life itself. Will miss him. @armani.

Many will die. Hope American voters reject this murderous incompetence.

Details of the Veterans home disgrace here. More than 5000 vets lived there. Then the feds moved them off the 388 acre “soldiers home”. Two successful lawsuits vs the Veterans administration have now caused some housing to open. More, and more
Community assets, are needed. Urgent.Ty @latimes.com

A heartbreaking day to be on social media! Folks are posting photos of young Americans killed in wars. We’ll never get to meet them or their children. Hard to imagine the sorrow behind these posts. Respect to all these families & friends.

Always great to see a crowd at the #Annenberg Beach house. It was a ruin for so long. Grateful to Mrs Annenberg & the late Len Aube who saw the site’s potential and paid for its creation as a public beach club.

Smart to make enemies of the most talented young people from around the world? Harvard !

“the world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children,” says Bill Gates about Elon Musk’s cuts in todays NYTimes. A truly unreal, devastating reality. @onecampaign.bsky.social

Very brilliant Buffett comments on using trade/tarrifs “as a weapon” at the Berkshire meeting this morning. “It’s a mistake”. Crowd cheers! Hooray.

Because some have questioned the effectiveness of @save-pepfar-ldn.bsky.social and @globalfundcf.bsky.social , please take a look at this woman. First foto before she received anti AIDS medicines. Second, 90 days thereafter. Medicines work. They’re cheap. Folks know that America sent them.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear...”

Musk starved these people to death. I do not and can not bekieve Americans will supprt this once they learn of it Our values do not allow us to promote or condone starvation. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/w...
As Famine Rages in Sudan, U.S. Aid Remains Scarce
The stark consequences of the rollback are evident in few places as clearly as in Sudan, where a brutal civil war has combined with a staggering humanitarian catastrophe.

And yet Mr Musk says “well, no one has died”. Please folks, sell or do not buy @tesla cars/stuff. He only understands money.

“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative
class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court.” Hope “the government” obeys. About as blunt as “the law” can be.

Clarifying that this is the same woman before and then after she received the ARV medicines that keep HIV positive people alive. Musk has cancelled these programs. Please vote him out of power. Ty.
April 9, 2025 at 10:57 PM
Hope the new profile photo shows why America’s programs for HIV positive people reflects our values. Abrupt cancellation of these
medicines will (and has) killed many people. Musk is responsible. Please remember this when you vote in 2026.

In his letter to shareholders today, Jamie Dimon wrote: “America will be first – but not if it is alone.”

Don’t we all grasp this fundamental truth? From sports, volunteering, community work? Teamwork makes the dream work.

Voters, hope you will vote for teamwork in 2026.

Hooray for the brave lawyers at Munger. Remember however, that many wealthy firms did not sign. Despite their riches & fanatic education/opportunities, they are afraid. A daunting precedent. Alas.
We are so grateful to our friends at Munger, Tolles & Olson for their herculean efforts getting the law firms amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie filed today. To the more than 500 law firms that signed on, thank you for defending the rule of law. www.mto.com/wp-content/u...

Amen.
This is indeed a moment of truth for Harvard — and for American higher education as well as science, medicine, technology, and the humanities.

If the richest university in the world submits to lawless extortion by the Cult of Trump, we are truly sunk.

We must be clear: Veritas is not for sale.
“Harvard now faces one of the most consequential choices in its history: Submit to extortion and make itself complicit in the most profound assault on academic freedom and constitutional governance of our time—or go to court. The stakes are high, but the choice should not be difficult.” (Fixed link)

Miss my brave cousin Chris Lawford on his birthday today. A wise, strong advocate for sobriety, he saved many lives Gone too soon.

@newyorktimeshaiku.bsky.social story: GAVI cuts “mean 75 million children do not receive routine vaccinations in the next five years, with more than 1.2 million children dying as a result.” Trump voters (Christians in particular) this reflects your values? Save money here?

Asking for a friend.
