I hate that the "finding out" phase is hurting the rest of us too.

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, convinces the decades-younger mother of his latest child that he is too vulnerable to legally claim the child as his own

As of this morning: Over 206,000 children have benefitted from our nation-leading Child Tax Credit, with nearly $270 million going into the pockets of hardworking Minnesotans. Let’s keep it going!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Thanks to Warwick’s PPL & UN societies for inviting me to share my journey into politics. It’s not always easy — the condescension, abuse & even death threats take a toll. But I’m determined to break barriers, encourage young people to get involved & organise for real change 💪🏽

The arrest of 50+ politicians & journalists in police raids in Turkey is an outrageous attack on press freedom and democratic rights. The Turkish government must stop its attempts to silence pro-Kurdish and left-wing opposition. www.turkishminute.com/2025/02/18/p...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

My first piece for @zeteo.com is out! I wrote about Elon Musk’s attempt to rebrand himself from a ruthless, calculating billionaire to a down-home family man by using his toddler son.

This piece is spot on. Musk’s pivot to “dadfluencer” isn’t about fatherhood—it’s about optics. A man who abandoned multiple children suddenly rebrands as a doting dad when the cameras are rolling? Care as PR, not practice. 🧵

it's very silly that some people tried to create some guidelines to use language, a tool that we all use, in a way that is more precise and less harmful, and a bunch of people were so offended they decided to burn society to the ground and everyone is like "hmmm maybe they had a point though"

Absolutely this. I’ve been reporting on ASMR for over a decade now. It’s a relaxation tool that is supposed to produce sensations associated with being calm and happy, even lulling people to sleep. The White House invoking it alongside immigrants being shackled w/o due process is social manipulation

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power. This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights. May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

The Trump/Musk plan is to legally target journalists and publications for doing journalism. Even if the legal actions ultimately fail, they’ll bankrupt and smear the journalists and orgs along the way. Years of precedent for this, including Gawker v Hogan, financially backed by Thiel

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

Apparently you cannot say/post, “Free Palestine,” on Tik Tok anymore. The application that aided in people learning about an ongoing ethnic cleansing, genocide, occupation, and was used in courts to showcase Zionism is now somewhere you cannot say a basic for justice phrase of the devastation.

We don't know what Elon Musk meant with that hand gesture but we do know he's reinstated Hitler apologists on X, praised an extreme far-right German political party and endorsed the claim that Jews push "hatred against whites" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Defamation cases don’t always end in favor of the truth. Remember, Amber Heard lost one for saying “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” The response to the trial alone proved the veracity of her statement and she still lost.

One of the surest signs that a woman is facing a smear campaign are the same lines the hyenas biting at her ankles trot out every time: “She’s doing so much damage to the MeToo movement.” “He brought the receipts.” “She can’t convince us. We saw it with our own eyes.” “She’s not helping herself.”

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask. You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system. You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

This is what explains Musk’s recent obsession with backing the far right in Europe and going on about making Europe great again. This and the racism. Everything else is noise.
