After my recent expedition to #Antarctica, I'm thankful such a pristine, beautiful continent still exists on Earth. Such raw beauty. My it remain forever free of the stain of human pollution. It is truly a treasure. #Thanksgiving

At the #nokings protest in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. today, joining millions around the country. Heartwarming to know we’re not alone in our unwillingness to live under a dictator.

We joined millions of others around the country yesterday to march and protest the trump cult tyranny. We attended the rally in tiny Warrensburg in upstate NY. It was a great, reaffirming day. #nokings

The trump stock market, since January. I guess past performance, bankruptcies, etc., is indicative of future performance. #trumptariffs

The resistance has begun. My wife and I joined millions across the country at the anti-trump, anti-musk hands off rallies, in Saratoga Springs, NY. We won't give up without a fight! #handsoff

Another grand day on the stock market, brought to you by the razor-sharp business minds in the White House. But the folks who voted for this dumpster fire will never admit how wrong they were to elect a felon and multi bankruptcy business guy. #stockmarket

A "hot take" that falls flat. I'm glad fiery abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison ignored pleas from his anti-slavery allies to "cool it" in the 1800s.The parallels between today and 1930s Germany are stark. We ignore them at our peril.

Ukraine President Zelensky criticized for not wearing a suit to the Oval Office (by a strange conservative reporter named Glenn). He's a wartime leader. There are other wartime leaders who often didn't wear a suit to the White House, such as a guy named Churchill.

Well done Time Magazine. Apparently this has really triggered the guy in the Oval Office, who now claims to not know that the magazine was still in business.

I’ll take this roster of selfless, talented music stars before I even look at the sycophantic group of has-beens playing at the Orange-man’s whatever next Monday.

Yeah, like I'll ever read or subscribe to Time Magazine ... ever. And the trouble they went through to make the current autocrat look better than his actual appearance? As far as I'm considered most of the national news media organization we grew up with have become irrelevant. #timepersonofyear
