The single most clarifying piece of journalism about Russell Brand that I've encountered is this video from @abbierichards.bsky.social. She charts Russell Brand's political evolution through his video content, and shows just how profitable a right wing grift can be.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

For 20 years Matthew Shepard's ashes had no permanent resting place. But in 2018 Bishop Mariann Budde invited his family to inter Mathew at Washington National Cathedral giving him a safe and forever home where people from all over the world could come and pay their respects

There is no one in my lifetime who has embodied public service more than former President Jimmy Carter.
President Carter broke the mold. He demonstrated that it isn’t a title that defines you, but the work that you do to improve your community and the lives of those in that community.
