I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot.
Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence — no matter who is hurt — will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

Naomi Osaka says she’s not sad after losing to Anisimova at U.S. Open:
“I don’t feel sad. I just feel like I did the best that I could. It’s honestly kind of inspiring for me. It makes me want to train and try to get better.”
Great outlook. ❤️

If not morally shocked, are you not at least insulted?
Israel bombs a hospital. Kills several people, including a journalist.
Rescuers & journalists rush to the scene. And then Israel bombs them. On live TV.
And then Israel tells you they never target civilians, and were just trying to hit a camera.

Vicky is the future! I loved that in her speech she started by thanking ball kids. I also thought her speech was raw and real and brief yet reflecting depth and maturity. So glad to see her rise. #mboko #nationalnbankopen

The beauty of #fiction is not just the freedom to say or read things that ring true and may be controversial, but also the elegance with which some people articulate those things that we all feel or sense but can’t quite put into words. This is from #Orbital - a beautifully written novel.

This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.
