Hey
@UPS
- this cannot happen. Your truck is parked inside a cement curb-protected bike lane. Bike traffic was forced out into the car lanes.
It’s unsafe and violates Chicago ordinance.

Or, it’s like some of us value a president who led a careful process of weighing all the circumstances and broader national security needs. We might prefer a more dramatic response, but I respect the President’s process here.
I also believe the response isn’t over yet.

I just learned that my high school French 🇫🇷 teacher died. One of the things he did in class one year was to play all of Jules Massenet’s Manon (must have been in 30- or 40-minute chunks), the Beverly Sills recording. It was a seed to my love of opera to this day.

My father once told me love is half an emotion and half a decision. You won’t “feel” in love all the time. Your feelings are affected by sleep, food, work, all sorts of irrelevant things. At low times, remember that you made a decision to love this person, and stick to it.

Trump’s defenders are accomplices. It becomes obvious why they can’t be “won over,” because they are actively keeping the corruption from getting fully uncovered, in the belief that they, too, benefit from it, and that they, too, lose out if it’s exposed.

Good thread!
5/ Trump’s critics conclude that Trump is losing his marbles, melting down, and that his lawyers are asleep at the switch.
I believe there’s method to the madness (can happen at the same time as actual madness)
