Such terrific news -- something good to come out of the horrific experience Lesley Hu went through, which @McGrawCenter Fellow @ericpape chronicled in a story for @TheAtavist last year.
Wow, Lesley Hu just met with President Biden to try to prevent others from going through what she did. I wrote her haunting story, which is so much about her son Pierce, last year for @theAtavist magazine. Read it here. @seywarddarby @janesasseen magazine.atavist.com/sins-of…

Wow, this story. After seeing the photo of Lesley Hu and President Biden I wanted to understand the context of who she is. This story by @ericpape is packed with humanity and stunning chronology of events. The ending is beyond heartbreaking

These photos made me tear up then I read the article by @ericpape OMG. The hell she went through…whether it was mental illness, cult like groups, conspiracy theories or a combination, it’s all just heartbreaking 💔

.@JDVance owner Peter Thiel, says America is like Weimar Germany in the 1920s:
“Liberalism is exhausted… Democracy whatever that is, is exhausted… so we have to start talking far outside the Overton Window.”
Holy shit. He is literally taking Hitler’s side to justify himself.
This was precisely what the Nazis tried to sell to Germans, that Weimar was “too liberal” and needed “strong leadership” to save it from degeneracy. To make this super clear, Thiel’s doing this at a talk to promote German philosopher Carl Schmitt, who was a prominent member of the Nazi Party.

I cannot emphasize enough that this psychopath will be running the country if we don’t protect this election.

In the words of Ted Williams: "If there was a guy born to play baseball, it was Willie Mays." Mays wasn't just a legendary figure in baseball; he was a testament to the power of talent and dedication. His contributions to baseball and society will be remembered for years to come.

I’m a longtime reader and admirer of @LATACO, and I recently became a member to try to help L.A. avoid the loss of one of its most vital local media sources. Please consider doing the same if you care about journalism in this city and have a few bucks a month to throw their way!

I have found so much of the discourse around this war to be deeply disturbing, betraying a profound inhumanity, a retreat to one’s in-group & an indifference to those outside it, an instinct to only believe that which comports with one’s biases, and a setting-aside of principle.

My father died on July 22 of this year. It was unexpected. The sense of loss was staggering. After the initial shock, I began to be able to process the grief. Until @BankofAmerica turned the grieving process into an absolute nightmare 1/14

I can’t quite put into words how frustrating it is that so many people express so much (seemingly genuine) concern about the dangers of disinformation, but then continue to amplify the most egregiously unreliable narrators — as if those two things are totally unrelated.

No matter what the other side does, no one has the right to target civilians.
Deliberately killing civilians is a war crime, as is hostage-taking. All parties to the conflict are obliged to respect the laws of war. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza

Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.
We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.
We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

October 10 marks the birthday of my late son, Danny, who would have been 60 today. A diehard humanist who wanted to believe that man is not a predator to other men. We hoped that his brutal murder would mark a turning point in the history of man inhumanity to man. Saturday's massacre in Israel negates any such hopes. Today my heart goes to the families of so many Israeli families who are still waiting for information about their missing love ones. I know what they are going through.
