Never give up the fight to empower women! #internationalwomensday
“bolstered finances, scholarships and jobs.”
Imagine that!

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
If Sen McCormick is concerned with funding for what is unfolding in the ME, his focus should be on reminding the administration of the need for Congressional approval, not on two separate issues that each have little support.
Why is it always D vs R rather than co-equal branches of government?
As absolutely disturbing, distressing and credibility-killing as this is, any journalist not paying attention or taking this seriously is on their way out.
Adapt or be replaced. 😞
I don’t understand how anyone actually believed this.
Neil Sedaka, the million-selling singer and songwriter, has died. His many hits included “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” “Calendar Girl” and “Oh! Carol,” a lament for his high school sweetheart, Carole King.
Ted Turner was ridiculously wealthy but he was a visionary and built what was once a stalwart of journalistic standards.
Those days are long gone but as Bob said, something that made a difference that no one can take away from us.
RIP CBS. RIP CNN.
I grew up at CNN and produced the flagship primetime show for nearly a decade.
I also spent years at ABC and CBS.
Watching the legacies of those institutions, as well as my own by default, be obliterated by billionaires who don’t care about public trust is heartbreaking.
Mary Walsh/CBS: “We've been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don't know how to do that.”
Bob Schieffer: "We were lucky because we were part of something grand, something that made a difference and no one can take that away from us."
She’s right. It is not her responsibility to try to explain someone else’s behavior and I hope she never responds to a question about it again.
Knight told "SportsCenter" that this is a "good learning point, to really focus on how we talk about women, not only in sport but in industry. Women aren't less than, and their achievements shouldn't be overshadowed by anything else other than how great they are."

Because it’s happened twice already. Absolutely unprecedented. And nothing changed. There were no consequences.
We are watching people in power continually stoke division because it’s easier to mobilize anger than to actually lead.
Their rhetoric is stuck in the past.
Why not focus on moving forward?
Words can be weapons.
Especially when they are used to inflame, not inform.
Language is a choice.
The GoFundMe in honor of Wes Rucker is live, and people's generosity has already been incredible. Lauren, his wife, Hank, their son, and their soon-to-be-born daughter could use any and all support, as Wes was in a job transition and did not have a life insurance policy.

Right?
The rhetoric is not only shameless and dangerous.
It’s just dumb.
Makes zero sense.
This is heartbreaking.
My thoughts are with his family.
@julieroginsky.bsky.social is on the platform.
They aren’t deporting violent criminals. Nor would that make Americans’ wages go up.
What would?
Raising the minimum wage and making healthcare, rent and groceries affordable.
This propaganda isn’t just dangerous, it’s just so dumb. 🤦🏼♀️
👏🏻
“Rear Window” and “Wizard of Oz” — two of my favorite films of all-time!
They think it shows they are not biased and she isn’t likely to sling elementary school insults at them on social media so… makes sense in a not serving the public kind of way. 🤷🏼♀️
@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
With loyalty comes pardons.
Shamelessness is rewarded with zero consequence.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
💯
Inviting reputable journalists rather than accepting invites from unknowns is a good place to start.
CBS News employees were told today that “Independent Americans “want to equip themselves with all the facts,”
They were also informed of all the paid contributors and columnists being brought on board.
You know, people who provide opinions, not facts.
🤷🏼♀️
