A feminist icon with tits out is divisive. But at least she's depicted as a WOMAN in contrast to 'The Fearless GIRL' (intended to represent women in leadership ... huh?). Easy to cheer on brave little girls, but brave women rarely get the same fanfare. So tits out I say!

This is so embarrassing. Now that the US has delivered a Trump-free govt, maybe we can start to look inward again. Our leader seems to be following in Trump's footsteps when it comes to schooling women about gender culture and scolding the media.

If garment factory workers (WOMEN) were given a living wage, they wouldn’t have had to continue working while sick to support themselves and their families. The onus is on the BIG BRANDS to hold factories accountable for unsafe and unjust working conditions!

[Global Citizen ⭕ @GlblCtzn]

The district where the factory is located now has with more than 7,000 cases — over half the national total.

A lying, deflated Trump is now falsely claiming he has won the election.

From The White House podium.

This is not normal. We can’t allow it to become normal.

If this was any other country we’d be condemning it.

Time for our PM to call out this lying, dangerous fraud.

One thousand women candidates will stand in the #MyanmarElection on Sunday. This staggering increase is the result of sophisticated advocacy and sustained pressure from Myanmar’s #feministmovement.

Some good news amidst the nail-biting!

Serving NY-14 and fighting for working class families in Congress has been the greatest honor, privilege, & responsibility of my life.

Thank you to the Bronx & Queens for re-electing me to the House despite the millions spent against us, & trusting me to represent you once more.

[Méabh Friel @meabhfriel]

Seriously important to remember!

Today is #EarthOvershootDay, a day that no government is willing to discuss. We are currently consuming 90 billion m/t of resources every year and the earth can only replenish 50 billion a year. At current growth rates, we are on track to consume 180 billion by 2050. #movethedate

To all those scared for our future: we can get through this better than we started.

We have the power to triumph over hatred, division, and bigotry.

But decency cannot be taken for granted. It is something we must create, advance, and actively work to build each and every day.

Our planet is sick, and the two major parties are ignoring the fact that immediate and ambitious climate action is the remedy. Tinkering around the edges isn't going to cut it. The Greens are the only party with a plan to completely phase out coal. https://t.co/2K5tXRdpWJ
