Canada, Australia and the UK are currently working together to launch a coordinated ban on Nazi Musk’s Twitter/X platform. Good, I’m all for it. 👍

1. I never want to hear about “we’re protecting the kids” again from people like Riley Gaines. Nicki Minaj is marred to a registered sex offender who served time in prison for attempted rape of a teenage girl.
Alt text:
Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) from Nicki Minaj’s verified account (@NICKIMINAJ). The tweet is formatted as short lines of text and reads: “Wanting to see more TRANSKIDS NEWSOME,” followed by “GRUESOME,” then “Haha.” It continues with dismissive lines: “Fire victims? Nah,” “Hollywood? Nah,” and “Swatting calls to homes with innocent children? Nah.” The tweet then says in all caps: “GAVIN WANTS ONE THING. TRANSKIDS NEWSOME.” It ends with “this one made me laugh really loud,” “LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” and “Gotta admit I’m funny.” Engagement metrics beneath the tweet show roughly 934 replies, 1.4K reposts, 10K likes, and about 181K views. Below it is a reply from Riley Gaines’ verified account (@Riley_Gaines_), which reads: “why can’t everyone in Hollywood possess this level of common sense 😭 QUEEN.” The screenshot shows the X.com interface with timestamps and icons visible.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

), posted 10 hours ago, featuring a verification badge. The text of the post reads, "Great news," accompanied by an image of a large yellow billboard in an urban setting with tall buildings in the background. The billboard text states, "If you are looking for some good news, Tesla lost $330 billion in market value in 25 days," with the Tesla logo and the text "|tPOSKE$" at the bottom. In front of the billboard, there is a black Tesla car parked on the street, and a few pedestrians are visible walking nearby. The scene appears to highlight a significant financial decline for Tesla with a sarcastic tone.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

The State Department erased LGBTQ victims from its human trafficking report, despite the fact that LGBTQ youth are disproportionately targeted. Ignoring a crisis makes it easier for predators to operate. Once again, their unmistakable message is clear: some people’s lives are disposable.

I truly believe one key difference is that America is deeply hobbled by anti-Black racism. Yet has depended on Black protest and resistance — based in religion and faith groups — to advance democracy for all groups. I don’t know how this iteration of regression will be solved.
