Trump for Pope, a third term, re-opening Alcatraz. These stories all serve a critical purpose. To distract from the story of our age: that the President of the United States is enriching his family with billions by running a corruption racket right out of the Oval Office.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

80 years since liberation. Many of us had family there. Many of us source our values from what happened there. It’s not just ‘history’ for us. We can still see the trauma generations later. Lessons are being forgotten. Minorities are increasing demonised. We must renew the vow - Never again.

Wow, look, they all seem to have a certain look, dont they? Maybe it's cultural. WE NEED A NATIONAL INQUIRY ANYTHING LESS IS A COVER-UP.

I’m worried sick about patient safety as highly trained clinicians are replaced by 2yr-trained associates. Does this make me a “social media rabble”? Or is the “be kind” movement being cynically weaponised? Those monitoring my posts, put this on the agenda for the meeting you’ve asked me to attend.

Good to see piece on footballers and #dementia on #bbcbreakfast! Highlighting hardship for families and high care costs! Not only footballers-affects many many other people and limited help #careissues

When I used to worry about wars I never thought the US would be the protagonist against Greenland or Panama and definitely NOT Canada!!! Its surreal! Trump is a mental case! #aggression #landgrabs

Lovely listening to an abridged “Wuthering Heights” on BBC4-reminds me how good it is to be read to and to use your own imagination to match the story! #brontes #emily #classic #passionate #dark #lovehate

Love it when OH laughs! Its like he is back with us again. The only comedian he laughs at now is Billy Connolly. He really connects and “gets the joke”! Then it passes. 🥲 #bittersweet #funny #dementia #laughs
