On this day in 1972, ‘CABARET’ released in theaters. Liza Minnelli went on to win the Oscar for Best Actress for her iconic performance as Sally Bowles.

It's crazy how fast the media got over the leading Republican candidate losing $83M to the woman he raped.

Hind Rajab, the 6-year-old whose harrowing call with emergency dispatchers was heard around the world as the terrified child begged for someone to come get her, was found dead on Saturday. Rescue workers appear to have been killed by Israeli fire just yards away from her vehicle.

Re-read @CharifShan’s Trace Evidence. His poems don’t end at their final words. They keep going in my body, brain. Who “belongs”? And if so, to what?

“The destruction of cultural heritage in Gaza impoverishes the collective identity of the Palestinian people, irrevocably denies them their history, and violates their sovereignty.” lithub.com/israel-has-dam…

This is all I can think about today. We will keep fighting for Hind and every Palestinian child

Trump inviting Russia to attack NATO allies should be one of the biggest stories of this election. The fact that it's not even on the front page of the NYT or Washington Post (while stories about Biden's age are) is a disgrace to journalism.

Trump: One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, Well, sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said.. No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.

If you combine Wizard of Oz and Jonathan Bailey, you can bet I’m going to be seated.

Wicked. See it on the big screen this Thanksgiving. 💚💖

We had 15 presidential debates in the last election, and not one time did they have a 30-minute conversation on how presidential candidates would address poverty and low wages. Poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in this country. It is a moral and political issue.

This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen online about the ongoing conflict in Congo, please have a watch.

For anyone who’s unsure about what’s happening in Congo, I hope this helps. #FreeCongo 🇨🇩

Seeing the first correct headline from a a Western media outlet about Hind. Disgraceful that it took this long.
