The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I appreciate that some people genuinely don't like #Shakespeare but I would urge you to watch the 2012 performance of Twelfth Night at Shakespeare's Globe. Mark Rylance as Olivia, Stephen Fry as Malvolio and Roger Lloyd-Pack as Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Here's a clip. youtu.be/RDPT2e26SgY?...

This is a historic moment and such good news. And good news is what we need these days.
The European Parliament has voted today to set up an EU fund to expand access to abortion for women across the bloc, in a historic vote that divided lawmakers.

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket.
Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2
