Shonda Rhimes has been a pioneer in addressing social issues through her writing.

This scene, the way she address not just Alz, but sexism, gaslighting, & women left out of the conversation about their bodies is masterful &
Ellen Pompeo delivers it flawlessly as Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return!
Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY.

(Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

I'm in the 6. I worked in the US. I travelled to most of the 50 states. I had many American friends I spent the winter with. But I have no plans to go back.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

If you're young
Or old
Or a woman
If you've got a disability
Or, you've a SEND
If you're LGBTQ+
Or you're from an ethnic minority
If you need care
Or you're in the forces
And if you're in Northern Ireland
