This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump says he will end automatic citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants. Since Trump's family is of German descent, and not Native American, we can deport him and his family to Germany.

Presidents do not have to be saints, and we hope that a second term for Donald Trump would avoid disaster. But he poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Kamala Harris econ.st/3NKsH2r

RIP Noam Chomsky. We'll love you forever.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is incorrect. An ABC journalist confirmed Noam Chomsky's well-being by contacting his wife. x.com/chrislooftabc/…

THE BOOK OF EXODUS author @PunkProfessor wrote about the new Bob Marley biopic in @guardian! Check out her full article at the link. theguardian.com/music/2024/f…

‘Firebrand, poet and heart-throb’: how the film One Love captures the truth about Bob Marley

I was at the reggae superstar’s side before and after he escaped assassination. The new film took me back to this time, of love triangles, London punks and cold war conflict
