One of my favorite places and one of my favorite people. Enjoy!
Before reconnecting with our Galaxy family and diving into conversations on ending mass incarceration and building safer communities, we made a quick detour to Luquillo. 🌴🇵🇷 Sometimes the work begins by grounding yourself in the beauty of the place that welcomes you.

How can RFK Jr figure out new ways to be horrible and torture people? Please go back to cutting the penises off raccoons. Maybe that will bring you enuf joy to leave the rest of us alone. Less measles, please.

Hey @SouthwestAir . Now that you assign seats and stuff and are closer in style to other airlines (tempted to say more like a "real" airline), how about upgrading your wifi so the connection speeds are (when not intermittent) a step above glacial? Seriously, it would help . . .

After the war, what do we do with the collaborators? Been watching a lot about the Nuremberg trials and how far does responsibility go . . .
NEW: @tim_cook responds to ICE killing in Minneapolis in internal memo to employees, saying it’s “time for deescalation” and that he had a “good conversation” with Trump about the situation this week where he shared his views. Story on @TheTerminal.

To @SashaReneePerez : saw you on Saturday night at the vigil at the Federal building. So heartening to see a political figure with courage to speak frankly and who is remembering to stay close to the people. I’m a big fan . . .

I used to think it was good to have Scott Jennings on @CNN — not my perspective but good to have many views. But he has devolved to an apologist and collaborator — and his dishonor will be remembered and any legacy tarnished. There are moral lines — and standards of truth.
