Thank you @SachaBaronCohen for using your platform to convey this message and trying to stop the runaway train of fake news through irresponsible social media. Future generations will look back at us in horror at how we have let us get this far to begin with.
Thank you, @ADL, for your International Leadership Award. My message: if we want to stop hate, we have to regulate Facebook and social media - the greatest propaganda machine in history. My full speech here: https://t.co/WD23rHVLMY
Interesting that the Government is prepared to get MPs to vote on the same deal three maybe four times until it gets the answer it wants..but asking the people to vote again would appear to be a definite no....
I don’t think of myself just as a Tibetan or a Buddhist, but as a human being. We have to think of the whole of humanity. Being human is the common ground in our efforts to create a better world. Remember, we all survive in dependence on others.

One year ago today this ex-KKK member was marching in #Charlottesville – now he’s renounced his extremist views. A journey which started after he met Muslim filmmaker @Deeyah_Khan. See the Emmy-nominated film featuring Ken on #Netflix - https://t.co/U43CKfcoQs
Great to hear this...@Deeyah_Khan is an inspiration for our daughters. She shows in this documentary how to change perceptions, one person at a time. Gutsy & thought provoking #WhiteRightMeetingTheEnemy should be a must watch in every school. Watch it with your family today!
Wow this is quite the birthday surprise! I was just informed that our documentary #WhiteRightMeetingTheEnemy has been nominated for an Emmy award.
🙏🏽❤️
