LOL paragraph 5, below, directly contradicts the NYT's boot-licking headline:

"However, India’s foreign ministry contradicted Mr. Rubio, saying the cease-fire was worked out directly between India and Pakistan, and that there had been no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any location.

Gulp

What a moment to address new grads

Whatever I plan to say will have to be revised at the last minute so i'm thinking maybe a safe message like 'time to take on the fascists'

They think they can make us feel isolated and scared but homegrowns and new Americans alike DANCE INSTEAD <3
