Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

Appalling by @royalsociety.org to continue to give credibility and stroke the ego of Musk….
More useful material for the @royalsociety.org’s bio of their esteemed fellow. Though I’m still struggling to understand how a society that claims to value scientific rigour continues to honour someone who spreads so much disinformation.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.
My friends, they have lost the flag.

She so eloquently & fiercely expressed why she came: to stand up for democracy, reject extremism, and reclaim the America she loves.

“So it looks like you’re flying a fighter jet and wearing a crown, but it turns out it’s really a bomber and the bombs are poops. You’re up there pooping on all the cities in America because you’re the king of America, and so of course you shit on it when it doesn’t behave. It’s high concept, sir.”
