Community is fundamental. Every act of genuine imagination ( social or artistic or scientific) is a triumph of the communal.

The gun lobby's interpretation of the 2nd Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime."

It wasn’t Sandy Hook that normalized children dying from mass shootings. It was Wounded Knee, Dec 29, 1890. — Let’s be honest.

Congratulations to Humza Yousaf, elected leader of the SNP and so to be next First Minister in Scotland. Born in Glasgow in 1985 to parents who came to Scotland from Pakistan and Kenya, Yousaf is the first Muslim politician elected to be a national leader in a western democracy.

I have posted this before but ..

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

Scotland is on track to be the first democratic western European nation with a Muslim leader, after the pro-independence Scottish National Party on Monday elected Humza Yousaf, the country’s 37-year-old health secretary, as its top official. https://t.co/igzplUOULH

@nallivdam @mbaram @Phil_Lewis_ You are clearly not familiar with either Black oral traditions, Black music tradition or the traditions of poetry overall. These kinds of borrowings are very common in all of these traditions. It is not poaching. Marley himself would be guilty of poaching if you were correct.

As America grieves over yet another school shooting, this time in Nashville, Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to prevent the ATF from doing their job.

Common Sense Gun Legislation is necessary. We must do something to protect our children.

The decision to bar Jeremy Corbyn on the grounds he lost the 2019 election is ridiculously flimsy, without logic or precedent. On that basis, many other Labour leaders would also be barred.

Israel has only ever been a democracy for its Jewish citizens. What we are witnessing today is an internal Israeli Jewish struggle over who will administer an apartheid regime over the Palestinians, not a genuine fight for democracy for all. https://t.co/37C8cViux3

@katsndogs @ggreenwald Hmmm.

[A Manager of Time @EcclesiastesSun]

@katsndogs @ggreenwald endlessly advocating for the release of Julian Assange had zero effect in convincing Trump to pardon Assange and Snowden? So it doesn't seem as if being on Carlson's show does anything to get the policy changes that Glenn wants even with a guy like Trump in office.

[A Manager of Time @EcclesiastesSun]

@katsndogs @ggreenwald By the way , how has gaining access to Carlson's show worked for him beyond indirectly contributing presumably to increase in his income through gaining more fans? Greenwald is interested in policy, no? He is interested in having an impact on the world, no? But being on Carlson's

Incredible scenes in Kabul today as Afghanistan's fearless women stood before the Taliban, chanting —

“EDUCATION IS OUR RIGHT.
WOMEN. JUSTICE. FREEDOM."

Their unwavering courage and determination to fight for their freedom is truly heroic 💪🏻
