The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

When the Michigan governor demanded the return of a man who escaped slavery, #Canada refused.

That moment helped define our national identity.

Now, as laws shift and borders stiffen, I wonder: are we still that safe harbour?

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I'd really like to see all the former presidents get together and on behalf of the People of the United States file a civil action against the current to stop the destruction of public property at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC.

That's why Mitch has me as his diary person (amongst other things)... he usually says "I'd love to: speak to Cathy" and I then frantically scrabble through the calendar to check/confirm... I also have a monthly run through our diaries to check he hasn't agreed to something without mentioning it... ❤️

Dad used to moan about how I hadn't grown out of Doctor Who. I now get paid to write about it, so when I visit him I wear Dalek socks.

People are asking Donald Trump for his reaction to not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, which is honestly a bit like asking me for my thoughts on missing out on the People magazine Sexiest Man of the Year Award

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
