Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

It's unclear what the message is here: two of the three people WERE imprisoned as 'dangerous terrorists': Gandhi in 1922 and again in 1942, Mandela for 27 years from 1962. Millicent Fawcett was a moderate who opposed militancy, received an OBE, and today would probably have been a Lib Dem

🚨BREAKING: Activists have imprisoned DANGEROUS TERRORISTS Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett statues in Parliament Square.

They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.

The heroes the government celebrates would be imprisoned today under their extreme laws.

State of Fawcett behind bars, close up from face to torso.

State of Gandhi behind bars from behind with Parliament in the background.

Last year, wildfires killed 154,000 people. Extreme heat and drought pushed 123 million into hunger.

We need a world where this is unthinkable, where every person has food, safety and a home.

#Farage motion to withdraw from the ECHR was defeated, and he was heckled. He's also close to bottom of MP League. Show what you think of him by voting him up or down.

MP League® is the only empirical way to show what you think of any MP any time.

Why our #humanrights are important and why the #lunacy of #Farage & #Reform UK wanting to take us out of the #ECHR should stop any #sane person #voting for them: goodlawproject.org/nigel-farage...

Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights | Good Law Project

The Reform leader is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster.
