A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

[LateNighter @latenightercom]

Jimmy Kimmel dug up a video of Stephen Miller in high school and... well, let's just say some things clearly never changed.

"No new wars... I am the candidate of peace."

Nothing but LIES.

Is McCarthy’s witch hunt back? 🧹

As a reminder: 90% of the European Parliament — our democratically elected body — and all 27 Member States unanimously voted the DSA 🇪🇺

To our American friends: “Censorship isn’t where you think it is.”

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Yes, I know. Nothing I can do about it. YouTube refuses to take these deep fakes down. And even if they do, they spring up faster than I can shut them down. I suppose we must all learn to doubt all we see and hear. Perhaps this is the beginning of social media's self-immolation...

This is the best ever true news BBC ever made about Israel, 4 minutes but every minute is extremely important

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow!! This whole speech is INCREDIBLE:

Richard Gere, "We have a bully and a thug who is President of the United States…

But it's not just in the US, it's everywhere"

"Authoritarianism takes us all over"

"We have to be vigilant. We have to be alert. We have to be energetic. We have to be brave. We have to be courageous"

"And everyone who is watching this.. We have to be willing to stand up, tell the truth, be honest"

"There's a place in all of our lives for basic kindness, for basic love, and understanding"

DAMN RIGHT.

RT so every single American sees this.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating.
Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell

X/Twitter will no longer remain my primary social media platform. I will be migrating my posts to Bluesky. Happy to meet most of my contacts on the brighter side. https://t.co/U1Va8apQ3g

Source: trust me bro. You might not care about people drowning, but you sure love watching Twitter sink.

[Iva Nenadic @IvaLitre]

Big tech is seriously damaging democracy. Instead of asking them to assess the systemic risk stemming from the design and use of their services (the DSA), we should acknowledge that big tech, including genAI developers, is a high systemic risk in itself-and deal with it as such.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

“Making America white”

Neo-Nazis join Trump Boat Parade, hosted by Eric and Lara Trump.

[Herman Grech @Earthling70]

This takes it to a new level.

[The Good Liars @TheGoodLiars]

Talked to a woman who believes the US government is controlling hurricanes to hurt Donald Trump’s chances in the 2024 Election.

[Tom Gibson @at_tgibson]

We gather in solidarity ⁦@IFJGlobal⁩. The EU is failing to unequivocally condemn Israel’s flouting of international law by killing journalists in #Gaza. Suspend the EU Israel Association Agreement now. Please: use your leverage. ⁦@JosepBorrellF⁩ ⁦@vonderleyen⁩

Just back from #Chad border with #Sudan with Angelina Jolie, where she met refugees fleeing from untold atrocities and local responders helping them. This is one of the photos I took of her at a refugee settlement camp. Read her important message to UNGA:
