Sculpted and striped for days, by the one-and-only #RobertoCapucci. "I have never let myself be influenced by the idea of 'but when will I wear this, where will I go?'", said Capucci. After all, everywhere is somewhere! #frockingfabulous #fashionhistory via Odescalchi Castle.

Imagine God giving you a second chance and you spending it with criminals and perverts

Be clear, the person Episcopal Church has not and will not stop resettling refugees. But we refuse the White House directive to reset racists preferentially while real refugees languish. https://t.co/ZNh2bw5Oqp

Had an absolutely lovely time at @SMVOxford giving the first two Bampton lectures and touring @UniofOxford.

It’s #Balmain’s birthday, so let’s have a themed day!: By #ErikMortensen for #Balmain, this #frockingfabulous 1985 creation is so 1980s, it's off for a perm and a cheeky snowball. Via Artcurial. #fashionhistory

I know there is a rebellion on. But I need him to take a shower sometime. #Andor.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

All packed up and ready to go. London, Oxford, I'll see you Monday morning. I look forward to our conversations on Tuesday (and on the next Tuesday).

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

Republicans are now coming after Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood does more than reproductive care –– they provide everything from clinic services to diabetes and hypertension medications.

I’m lacing up my pink gloves and fighting back. 🥊

I'd wear this.

This is an important thread.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

100 Days ago I was elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC with 298 votes well above the 201.5 threshold to win.

David Hogg received only 214.5

Today the DNC credentials committee heard a (complex challenge) to this election and voted for a new one to be held.

I have thoughts:

Just had quite the block party. When I can weed them out of my followers (20,000 is a lot to manage and I'm not here much) I block all locked accounts as well of those that do not tweet and as many of the fake ones as I can find. For real conversation meet me on #BlueSky.

Dear graduates,
Soon, you too will be able to panic about where your academic gown is the night before you need to wear it. Congratulations!

Literacy puts people in a position manage their lives and their homelessness. The ability to fill out, file and follow applications for supporting programs homes, jobs. Literacy is required to manage a bank account and bills. Literacy is not expendable or a luxury.

Khallet al-Dabaa is a pastoral village in the occupied West Bank community of Masafer Yatta — established old homes built around a series of ancient water cisterns, nestled in a hamlet where Palestinians have raised livestock and lived for generations.

Now, activists say the Israeli military’s demolitions left over 120 people without a home and only four structures left standing.
