This is so intelligent, I want to cry: The 140 seats won by the student opposition against Serbia's nationalist government party will be taken up not by students, but by academics, professors & public figures from pre-chosen pool of 250 experts, selected by student plenums.

Hasan Piker: “Trans people are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. Muslims are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. It’s not a Guatemalan migrant that made your housing more expensive. It’s your landlord, it’s hedge funds buying out all of these homes and rising up their prices. A transgender person is not the reason your energy costs are skyrocketing. It’s the wars we’re waging, the data centers sucking up the energy needs. This is just the truth”

Humbled to have the 44th president with us in our movement to demand more for working people in Michigan. Change is in the air. 🤝

Freddie and Navongela Jackson, a Black couple, were handcuffed for trespassing on property they own in Marion County, Florida. A deputy pulled onto their land, demanded ID, and detained Freddie even after he showed his license with the address. Ownership was confirmed minutes later and he was released. Handcuffing people for sitting on land they paid for is not a reasonable suspicion of a crime. It is an assumption that they do not belong there.

This is happening in a lot of states. Republicans are trying to cheat.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Florida uses only paper ballots (hand-marked or printed via accessible devices like ExpressVote for review before optical scanning); no systems allow or default electronic party selections, and straight-party voting is unavailable. dos.fl.gov/elections/voti… ncsl.org/elections-and-… wptv.com/news/political…

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s? washingtonpost.com/history/2…
