Going back to Facebook after a while to catch up with friends, and it's amazing the number of random moon landing deniers commenting on Artemis II stories in my feed. I thought Nolan was exaggerating in Interstellar but now I'm not so sure.

Cette année je n'ai pas vu un seul film en nomination pour Meilleur Film aux Oscars... Je suis un peu déçu de moi-même. Haven't seen a single movie among those nominated for Best Picture this year... A bit disappointed in myself.

There’s absolutely no excuse for antisemitism. At the same time, lumping all left-wing criticism of Israel or the war into antisemitism shuts down real discussion. We can oppose hate and still allow debate.

Trump administration tries to deprive poor Minnesotans of health care because brave Minnesotans stood up to them.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

Thank you for asking! No, this isn’t AI. Our campaign teamed up with local artist and comic book publisher Josh Blaylock and his team to bring this to life. Check out the video about the project here: www.youtube.com/shorts/PikVP...

Supporter here. Just curious, as I know someone will eventually ask— is the comic AI or no?

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

one of the lessons i learned from the bush years is the right loves for the left to think they are on the fringe, that our voices dont matter, and that we are drowned out. it leads to the left being quiet and the right dominating the conversation. but we arent fringe and we should always be loud.

Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: “Nearly a year after we won, the same Israeli settler who attacked me after I returned from LA again led an attack against my family. 4 of my family members are currently arrested, one in the hospital… we call the police, they do nothing.”

This odious white supremacist needs to learn some history. Not so long ago, it was common to see "Irish need not apply" in job listings in the United States. You know, the same type of pernicious prejudice that Elon exhibits regularly.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
