Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Today’s No Kings protests could be the biggest in US history.

I’ll be speaking in front of tens of thousands here in Washington DC onstage alongside Senators Bernie Sanders and Chris Murphy, and Bill Nye and others.

In my defence, I am British and I think the head of state being trained from birth to do the role is better than letting idiots vote for a gameshow host because of racism and misogyny.

Okay so I may have accidentally won a crown whilst playing as "No Kings" which I'll admit is sending mixed messages.

I don't buy the supposedly nazi-like symbol. I think there's a reading of Opalite that is problematic if it is referring to Kelse's ex but even that I think is a stretch.

Also if you have to bring the Zeti back (which they didn't) why not Zeena, especially when the core roster is 5:18 female to male characters?

Team Deadly Six? There's two of them! I get they are part of "The Deadly Six" but Team Zeti, or Team Lost Hex would've worked. #SonicRacingCrossworlds

It is my understanding that Emilia Clarke is still the Sexiest Woman Alive, in that Esquire haven't named another one since and also, c'mon look at her.

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

And yes, one of them is very clearly a unicorn, but two of them are definitely dinosaurs, so it has to be a dinosaur-themed team. And it is set in Angel Grove, it's got Bulk, Rita escapes at the start: it is all very alternate MMPR which was dino-themed.
