Jessica: This backfiring with the gerrymandering is a big deal. Trump asked Abbott to cheat for him. They try, they fail. And a Trump-appointed judge even helped with that. So now it looks like Republicans aren’t going to net any seats. It looks like Democrats could end up with an extra three seats.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

George Takei

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Feel great where UK sits, so enpowering

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Congrats to Maria Corina Machado who is the antithesis to Trump. I am very relieved that the Nobel Committee is sending a very clear message to the world, and won’t be bullied by tyrants www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

My statement on Middle East peace

If Doctors Without Borders (MSF) lose the Nobel Prize for Peace to Trump, the integrity of the award will be forever tarnished.

Gates, Buffett, and likes of Soros, then back to Carnegie and Rockefeller Sr and others. These men have given away 100s Billions, huge percentages of their wealth to good causes. But Musk, bezos and the Meta idiot less than 5%. Before you buy their products and services - just think about that

This is a new low

Dame Goodall talks to us all. Don’t give up, fight the good fight. And in so many words: Trump, Musk and all their ilk can fck off!

The breakdown of basic norms and the eroding of the most minimal expectations for civilized society is more egregious in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. American voters would elect monkeys if given the chance.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

NO MORE LYING AND HIDING!!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

Fellow travellers, time to step. Doesn’t matter how small I encourage you all so supper NPR. Super easy to do via their link, no registration requirement

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

The news is packed full of egomaniac a-holes. The sad news made me read this person’s life and gave me hope that we’re not all bad. I hope Dame Goodall passed the torch onto someone deserving and wonderful, just as she was. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Hang on a minute…?

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Oh #Arsenal how I love and hate you

There was a lot of jeering and obnoxious jeering by USA golf fans. I can’t help to think there’s a fair amount of Trumpianism behind it. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/a...

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

The UN escalators worked for President Obama, just saying.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Ffs I wish Neville would shut the f up. Awful blabbing

There are plenty of reasons to leave Meta, here’s another: They’re using Instagram pictures of children to advertise to men to join Threads. Meta has denied wrongdoing www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A simple summary of the facts

“The FCC decided all by itself that radio and television were the only two parts of American life not protected by the free speech provisions of the first amendment to the constitution.” George Carlin, 1988

STAND WITH COLBERT, KIMMEL AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT! WATCH: Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers rally around Jimmy Kimmel. 📌 Fox spent years spewing absolute lies about Obama and Biden, yet neither of them tried to yank Fox or any other critic off the air.

Ruffalo: I'm reaching out to all of my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to join us...They're coming after celebrities because they know we are the last ones to actually be able to have our freedom to speak. So use your platform wisely, use it generously for this movement. #NoKings

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

Fascism has arrived in America: The seven tactics of an authoritarian. 😳👇

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

They want to shut you up. To crush dissent. To end free speech. This is un-American.

British pride

The UK is preparing for Trump’s visit.

Stay focused.

This is a national disgrace, I’m ashamed of my country when so many thick, idiots, bigots and racists can gather in these number www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Release the Epstein files!!!!

Some family and friends to hand him over. Charlie Kirk shooting latest: Utah governor confirms identity of suspect and says family friend turned him in www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
