A hugely important day in parliament in #Finland as MPs finally vote on the Sámi Parliament Act. This has been left neglected by 3 administrations and even now surprisingly many MPs won't be persuaded to vote in favour of human rights for Indigenous Sámi people. But 🤞

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

Robert Plant: "I just wrote a song about a girl"

Jimmy Page (relieved): "Cool! A love song?"

RP: "Yes, about finding my true love"

JP: "Great, a classic love song"

RP: "Well it does take place in the darkest depths of Mordor. And there's a weird little guy"

I enjoyed and appreciated it for several reasons: 1. You know the Republicans were having a meltdown watching it. 2. I think it was the absolute right time, place and artist to do the half time show. 3. Samuel L Jackson aka black Uncle Sam…perfection!

This is illegal. Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to eliminate USAID; only an act of Congress can do that.

Lawsuits are underway and we are doing oversight to try to stop this.

The year I turned ten, my mother and stepfather joined Amway. Our lives spiraled into unreality, and we lost everything. I never got my mother back. Our experience prefigured the Trump era, with characters from my childhood later showing up in the White House. My story for the @theatlantic.com.

Amway sold my family a life built on delusion.

I’ve said “right” about 10 separate times this morning in a bid to get myself going. It’s the British person version of repeatedly yanking the starter cord on an old lawnmower.

Now that we've normalized posting each other's texts on the internet I talk to everyone like a cautious politician just in case. Do I want to hang out this weekend? Well let me say first of all how much I appreciate our friendship and I look forward to partnering with you on our shared priorities.
