@GreenpeaceUK :
🚨 BREAKING: Scientists say that we could power up to 2 MILLION homes across the UK right now by harnessing all of the hot air coming out of the government.

Since living in Spain, I have seen the government pass legislation protecting and recognizing more trans and reproductive rights.

One example is the introduction of 3 days of paid menstrual leave for a person has debilitating pain, nausea, etc. Companies do not pay for this. The national healthcare system does.

Could really do with able people not having to have positive things to say about disabled people's lives.

You will not make my life better by finding a way to say that something I'm going through or some adjustment I have to make is good, actually.

Not everything has to be good! You being willing to acknowledge that my life sucks in many ways is actually super important.

@tzimmer_history @RiaResists The tsunami of negative feedback to #CNN was a good start. I personally removed the CNN bookmark and blocked it in Google News. At least these news orgs need to realize there will be a cost when they give fascists unfettered access to public airwaves. It is the duty of news to support democracy. Drum them out if they won’t.

We're talking about how the Republican Party enacts horrifying anti-LGBTQ laws, like yesterday's new law in Florida, which allows any doctor, pharmacist, EMT, or insurer to refuse to provide any medical care to any LGBTQ person.

The Democratic Party, OTOH, enacts laws that protect LGBTQ people.

You said the difference between the two parties is insignificant to you. You don't care. It is your right to say that.

FL braces for impacts of @govrondesantis’s anti-immigrant campaign strategy, which is now state law.

Builders had already been expressing fears about labor shortage, saying projects are being delayed as a result.

Now bc of Ron, “workers are leaving, thinking they’re going to be deported, so they’re going to other states,” one construction worker said.

I have been *dying* to talk about this and finally can.

Remember that 0-click Outlook vulnerability with a custom sound leading to NTLM theft? The one that MSFT themselves stated it originated and was being actively used by Russian actors?

@nachoskrnl found a way to bypass the patch to it. By adding one singular slash.

I didn't understand those acrylic keyboard covers. But through the power of advertising I think I get it now.
