@mark_slapinski And I feel bad about that. I meant to say he is a sadistic, infantile ugly fuck.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

I was the first member of the House to participate in the AIDS/Lifecycle ride back in 2014.

This weekend, I'll become the first U.S. Senator to participate in the ride.

The cause could not be more important.

Fleet Week is not only massively disruptive to children, the elderly, pets, and really anyone walking on the street.

It’s also massively insulting for $100mil military aircraft to be flying above a city with 2,300 homeless children.

Your federal tax dollars at work.

Let's be real: Feinstein didn't bring SF together after the George Moscone & Harvey Milk killings—she dismantled policies on which the progressive duo worked. She also supported the demolition of the I-Hotel, and never once appeared at a Pride Parade.

This is Marion Stokes, a Philadelphia librarian who began taping whatever was on television from 1975 until her death in 2012. She made a total of 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes, which is the most comprehensive collection of television during this era.

She was able to pay for her recordings and storage space by investing early in Apple stock. Although she had never sent a single email, she managed to convince her friends and family to purchase Apple stock. Towards the end of her life, she had made so much money that she was able to store her tapes in nine apartments she had purchased over the years.

According to film director Matt Wolf, Marion Stokes "was interested in access to information, documenting media, making sure people had the information they needed to make good decisions."

Due to her political activism in her early years, Stokes was convinced that the government was keeping surveillance on her every move, and she became extremely cautious about her recordings.

She had every right to be paranoid as she lived through the Philadelphia MOVE bombing in 1985, in which the FBI and Philadelphia police used a helicopter to drop bombs during an armed standoff with MOVE members. The bombs started a fire that eventually destroyed 61 houses and killed 11 people.

Her work is currently being digitized by the Internet Archive, a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.

I endorse this ad.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH: “My daughter was raped. She’s 12. You won’t do anything?”

“I’m a Republican… I won the election… It’s MY decision.”

Brutal new ad from @progressaf3. (Every Tennessee Republican legislator voted not to let raped kids have abortion care) https://t.co/3i8HYoA5GH

On October 24, 1975, 90% of the women in Iceland staged a strike for equal rights and pay. They ceased working, cooking, cleaning, and tending to their children, effectively bringing the nation to a standstill. The men faced significant challenges. Supermarkets quickly sold out of sausages due to their ease of preparation. Fathers resorted to bribing their older children to care for the younger ones, while some were compelled to bring their children to work, resulting in reduced productivity.

Numerous shops and small businesses operated at only half capacity. Schools had to close as a majority of the teachers were women. The printing of newspapers halted since the majority of typesetters were women. Flight cancellations ensued as most flight attendants were women, and bank managers had to assume teller roles due to the preponderance of female tellers.

One year later, Iceland enacted the world's first law guaranteeing equal rights for women. Four years following this legislation, Iceland made history by electing its first female president, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, who served from 1980 to 1996, becoming the world's longest-serving elected female head of state.

According to the World Economic Forum, Iceland currently holds the top rank globally for gender equality, a position it has maintained for the past 11 years.

[Nile Rodgers @nilerodgers]

Following reports that the right wing SVP party in Switzerland has used a #WeAreFamily sound-alike song in a political video without permission, #NileRodgers made the following statement:

“I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People's Party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions!”

@HipgnosisSongs , @SonyMusicPub and @WarnerChappell are all working to have the SVP cease and desist their use of the song.
