Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that weโ€™d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanityโ€ฆ to remove that designationโ€ฆ indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamalโ€™s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Should I tell my family I stayed up late to clean the washing machine of a hellscape of gunk, snaked the bathroom sinks and bathtubs, among other gross tasks? Or should I try my best to be the saint I am not?

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Flu season could be nasty this winter With a new flu virus variant circulating, scientists fear more sickness this winter. The vaccine may be slightly less effective but doctors still urge getting one ASAP.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggiโ€™s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernstโ€™s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

An index card with handwriting in blue ink that says, "'I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller.'" Below is the source, "The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller" by Will J. Darling (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1932).

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

"I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller."
