Crazy how people discriminate against people with seemingly every skin color. I’m so glad they were finally convicted, even if it was after 3-4 years. Is it really that hard to understand that appearance does not matter? #mchslang23

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

12 men were convicted for killing of a man with albinism in 2018. The fact that 12 people were involved in this appalling crime shows the depths of discrimination that persons with albinism face in in Malawi. This a victory for justice and human rights.

@RiyaR2320 I’m assuming this is in response to the idea that it’s becoming more unsafe to be a teen with some level of independence. However, this can’t be the best solution. I wish more people were focused on what causes teens to feel unsafe, not looking for quick fixes. #mchslang23

How can we encourage our governments to improve infrastructure/increase funding for the people, not for the economy? #mchslang23

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

The UN predicts that the number of natural disasters will increase significantly in the coming years. This is expected, but I’ve heard little of government plans being put in place to increase preparedness and decrease damage. #mchslang23 https://t.co/Ch7XESLZP5

This decision is receiving a lot of pushback, especially since tennis players are less affiliated with their countries then other sports. Is this a smart choice? #mchslang23

Russia seems to be gaslighting Ukraine… in addition to committing who knows how many war crimes. #mchslang23

[The Associated Press @AP]

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is blaming Ukraine for stalled peace talks. His Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, told @AP in an interview Monday that only discussions between the two countries' presidents would resolve the conflict. https://t.co/JBDSQfQHUg

The officer is right. It seems like everyone preaches the importance of mental health but it remains a taboo topic. Foundations and organizations like these are vital in starting conversations like these. #mchslang23

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

The chief medical officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention says that people should be "approaching suicide prevention and mental health in the same way [they] do with other safety or health issues." Mental health should be a

“Events” like these are always so performative. Most of us won’t believe anything PG&E says until they actually fulfill their promises (cutting back trees, checking lines, etc). #mchslang23 https://t.co/EVu3WpQrd4

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

Big news for Louisiana, which is hit with increasingly devastating hurricanes every year. Natural disaster prevention is especially necessary for poor areas. So, what effect may this funding have on the inequality plaguing the state? #mchslang23 https://t.co/ndL6rzobHa

@Stephen15986 I agree, some school are also forcing students to put their phones in locked boxes from the beginning to the end of the day. Although there may be some good reason behind decisions like these, there’s no way this is the right way of going about it. #mchslang23

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

“Allegations of atrocities” it seems like there’s proof enough. I wish this had happened sooner. Since the UN is a main international organization, I hope this suspension is long and effective. #mchslang23

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

Today, the UN General Assembly voted to suspend Russia from the organization’s leading human rights body over allegations of atrocities in Ukraine. While Russian troops continue to retreat from towns surrounding the capital, many Ukrainians are left to pick up the pieces.

I don’t know much about this study, but this seems like a breakthrough discovery. It’s also pretty concerning… hopefully more follow up research is done soon. #mchslang23

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

@BerniesMittenz I wouldn’t have expected this from the PD. I’m hoping it was a typo and not an attempt to increase interaction. Either way, you’re correct that small errors can really affect the way news is put out.

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

The FEMA’s National Risk Index (a tool that identifies communities at highest risk for natural disasters) is one step closer to becoming permanent. This would allow underprivileged groups access to federal packages and support. #mchslang23 https://t.co/y4gMwdk1u2

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

This brings up an important topic: food waste. Restaurants throw away so much food in order to comply with safety regulations. What type of laws can be put into place to stop this? #mchslang23 https://t.co/q8OmLUlWbe

When will politicians realize that the ocean is the most important biome on Earth? Not only do oceans harbor the highest biodiversity levels, they also produce vast amounts of oxygen. This is disappointing but not surprising. #mchslang23

“Each of us must choose whether to live our lives narrowly, selfishly, and complacently or to act with courage and faith” Albright was such an important and powerful woman, and her impact is seen throughout America today. #mchslang23

[The Associated Press @AP]

Having fled eastern Europe from the horrors of the Nazis and subsequent Soviet suppression, Madeleine Albright abhorred dictators and authoritarianism.

And yet, she met with some of the worst, recalls @AP Diplomatic Writer Matthew Lee. https://t.co/AsiRdAEbty

A quick google search will tell you that peak tornado season is May and June, not March. As it becomes earlier and more unpredictable, what can governments do to prepare? #mchslang23

[National Weather Service @NWS]

Not only are severe thunderstorms/tornadoes anticipated for parts of the South today, but very heavy rainfall will likely bring with it a threat for flash flooding for an area stretching from the Deep South, north into the Ohio River Valley.

[Colleen M @13colleenm]

“Kuliak says he was annoyed by the Ukrainian athletes when they displayed their national flag” absolutely disgusting, I hope he is banned for a long time. #mchslang23
