"We are grateful for all those who fought for our freedom," said Cook, in a social media post today. "On Memorial Day, we reflect on the courage and selflessness of the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country."

Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors and mourns U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Due to the holiday, the Apple news cycle is likely to be slower today.

I expect people to not follow and be individuals and stop trying to take sides.
My friend, the actions of an unhinged President are directly impacting millions

There's no "stop taking sides" in this situation

Life is intertwined with politics.
There's no opting out as it impacts you whether you pay attention or not.

Considering what MAGA’s Supreme and Immortal Leader said today in his own Memorial Day greeting, I doubt that Tim was trying to curry favor with MAGA. Or does MAGA not support what the Supreme and Immortal Leader said today (which included nothing about our honored dead)?
