Following Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, there has been a "400% or 500% increase" in voter registration — between 9,000-10,000 people per hour, according to data firm TargetSmart.

Simone Biles taught a valuable lesson at the Olympics:

Overcoming adversity takes time. Resilience is not about how quickly you bounce back—it’s about how fully you recover.

You can’t judge people’s strength when they fall. Their fortitude is visible when they rise again.

I think I speak on behalf of my colleagues at @france24 in expressing joy and relief at Evan #Gershkovich’s release after 16 months in Russian custody on trumped-up charges. The only crime he committed was Journalism with a capital “J”. This from CNN’s Reliable Sources: #F24
