Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, & he sent his secretary after me, & it's not going to work."

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’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 :

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.

Taking me a while to get through ‘The Last American Road Trip’ by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social because I’m zooming in on Google Maps at every location that the book journeys through. Also had to order ‘Mark Twain’ biography by @ronaldchernow.bsky.social (I was also on a Thai road trip this last week).
