🧵I can’t believe my good luck, to have found a magazine-newspaper that is dedicated to words, dedicated to ideas.
A publication that doesn’t give in to lowest-common-denominator triviality.
A publication whose ads treat the viewer with respect & courtesy.
THANK YOU, for your civilization, 👋🏽!

I have known Jonathan for over 3 years. He is a cancer survivor, his dad died in his first year of medical school, he has continued through great adversity and I swear he will make to this Urology residency even if I have to drive a damned U-Haul across the USA. Please support his journey.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
The rest of the world will not trust us again, and they’ll be correct about that.

I don’t know about you at all. So why not be kind to possible new Followers?
I don’t get it, and I don’t like it!
I think poor Li’l Marco is out of his depth in this job.

The Obamas are the epitome of sophistication, class, intelligence, grace, decency and love. I’m so desperately missing presence like this in the White House.
