Stop allowing the government to decide what your kids are allowed to do. Why are we not asking questions about how technophobic our education system still is all in the name of controlling how children behave? Children should be educated on using computers and phones not banned.

I truly don’t understand how technology has not been incorporated into schools yet when it is a necessary part of life. I did not become tech literate until university bc we were given 1 computer lesson every few weeks. Also, this will literally lead to children being kidnapped.

I need people to educate themselves on these bans instead of falling for the propaganda bc we are quickly going to subject ourselves to 24/7 surveillance without any ability to do anything without government tracking. It is parents’ jobs to manage their children, not politicians.
🚨 NEW: Under-16s in the UK could now be banned from Spotify, Lego Play and YouTube Kids under expanded Government proposals to widen the scope of its social media ban

Here’s how my 2026 film ranking is shaking up now: Top 8 is all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This has got to be one of the all time great years for cinema. At least 3 more to see this week: The Weight, Godzilla Minus Zero and Wild Horse Nine.

Yeah it is definitely La Bola Negra vs The Odyssey for Best Picture, battle of the epics, but La Bola Negra is the winner for me. The atmosphere in that cinema was so intense, no-one moved when it ended just in awe of it. I have never had so many full body chills in one film.

I will riot if Guitarricadelafuente & Penélope Cruz are not nominated & both should be contenders to win. This is a modern day classic piece of literature brought to life in stunning beauty and Cruz gets maybe 10-15 mins straight on screen and captivates you the entire time.

Also means Penélope Cruz appears in both of my top 2 films of the year with The Invite in 2nd. She is quickly becoming my absolute favourite actress and my hopes are now on Bunker to see if her streak continues.

UK film distribution is stupid bc why is a potential Best Picture winner advertised at my local Vue but I gotta travel 2 cities away to see it at a different Vue. This is also only the 2nd film I’ve had this issue with ever btw. I ain’t missing La Bola Negra in cinemas though.

Three in five American Jews believe that Jewish organizations are exploiting fears of antisemitism in order to defend unpopular Israeli policies. You can’t say it loud enough: these people do not speak for us.

Openly queer, free Palestine candidate representing the most Trump-voting blue district in the US. Modern politics is changing. Also, the fact that we were 1 point off having 2 of these candidates in Tennessee is insane. Congratulations Victoria.
NEW INTERVIEW: Congresswoman-Elect Victoria Broderick (@Victoria4Tn) on her SHOCK victory in TN-4 “They came in and said ‘YOU WON’ — It was a moment of pure joy.” Victoria tells @Kanew about a win nobody saw coming. (She even had to tell her boss she wasn’t coming to work the next day) An openly queer “Free Palestine” candidate who backs Medicare for All, she only raised $45,000 (!!) but says the work paid off. As for backing Jeffries for speaker, she said she has not yet made up her mind.

Also just imagine telling your boss “Sorry I can’t come into work tomorrow, I’m your new congresswoman”

Just wanted to do a fun little early 2028 presidential prediction btw. And yes, if you look at the (rough) generic ballot in these states for 2026, this feels pretty realistic. Also worth pointing out Utah was a D+2 state this cycle, something to keep an eye on.

Indiana was D+4 so that’s why that’s a lean. Some areas had higher Dem support than Obama 2008.

Dems also cannot get complacent or no way in hell does this happen. Currently expecting Jon Ossoff or AOC as the nominee pre-debates and assuming they run, both of which feel like candidates that can pull this level of support. First thing to get done is NEW majority leaders.

Must watch: Meet Chuck Hubbard, who is set to defeat Virginia Foxx in a safe Trump +18 district in North Carolina. Just a normal guy, he decided to run for office to stand up for his LGBTQ daughter and defend her rights in Trump’s America.

Gina Hinojosa is impressive in her messaging here but I wanna focus on how this type of journalism is contributing to the loss of critical thinking. Instead of encouraging and exploring Gina’s ideas and beliefs, the journalist is far more obsessed with getting a gotcha moment.
This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

Journalism is supposed to help educate and inform the public. What is the point of getting your little viral moment if it achieves something only for yourself and not the world and people around you?

The 2 largest cities and the US capital are now controlled by DSA democratic socialists. This is absolutely insane and hopefully might actually cause some progressive change in California because they desperately need it.
