Why are companies/corporations, which have no bodies, allowed own homes that were built for people to live in?

If one has no need of a thing, they can’t own that thing if others are dying from its lack…

With the active weather over the past few days, people may have missed that @NWSCPC issued an updated summer outlook. We wish we had better news. There are likely odds that Colorado will see above normal temperatures while odds slightly favor drier than normal conditions. #COwx

[Mental Health Colorado @CO_MentalHealth]

Thank you to all the legislators who are fighting against stigma and discrimination today. Behavioral health is health. Having a substance use disorder is not a crime. The people of Colorado need care not cuffs #coleg

[Scourge™ @DisgruntledGurl]

@JacksRWild1 @iputahexonyou This is spot on. However, you don't need to be on the spectrum for this to be true. In a world with nearly 8 billion people, there is no reason for anyone to feel isolated and alone. 😐

This is a story to keep an eye on!
Allegedly, criminal actors are abusing "Emergency Data Requests"
to get information about @Twitter Users. In this case they have potentially targeted 2 infosec researchers.

Thank you to the House Appropriations Members for voting to add amendments that add evidence-based public health solutions to the fentanyl and overdose crisis. The price of treatment should not require a felony. #coleg #FixHB1326 #HB1326 #copolitics

For those saying we should allow people to keep getting infected to build an immunity, people are now getting reinfected 3 weeks after their last infection. Their chances of getting long Covid also go up significantly. @LauraMiers @AbraarKaran @kprather88. https://t.co/H0MSzZVLHn

A Florida minimum wage job is around $20,000 per year. The average rent in Orlando is also around $20,000 per year. Do you see the problem? #FairHousingMonth

[Sarah Axelrath, MD @DrSarahAxelrath]

If you want to decrease addiction and overdose, put $8.7 million into harm reduction. Treatment. Housing. Mental health care. Outreach and peer support. Vocational services. Case management. Early childhood education. Unemployment, disability support, and TANF.

Not jails.

@colbertlateshow I hope this is not a sign of the inevitable consequences for relaxing protective mandates. 😟

Get well soon!

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

For another perspective on the rarity of this event, @NWSSPC has placed most of our forecast area in a Day 2 Extremely Critical risk. Since 2010, this has only happened 1 other time in the Denver metro and a few times further south. PLEASE avoid ANY sparks tomorrow! #COwx #COFire

[Mr. B @TheBonhammer]

I would love for him to spend even a month working where I do and see how lightning fast his opinion changes. He has no idea of how hellish prisons, jails and halfway houses are and yet argues for this. @GovofCO, ask me. What I can tell you would turn your hair white.

[Abraar Karan @AbraarKaran]

If everyone is wearing high quality well fitting N95/KN95 in a crowded bus or train, you will slow transmission—esp compared to if no one is. Issue now is matter of goals: some ppl frankly no longer care about cases nor early surges. Consequences are high for all if they’re wrong

@GeorgeTakei 85 years young! Happy birthday... Captain!

[Scourge™ @DisgruntledGurl]

@Alliencoa @elonmusk @Twitter Please do not take this the wrong way as I am not trying to sound as if I am dismissing your perspective; I am just wary of another billionaire buying up another well established communications medium. (At least Zuckerberg was smart enough to start and build his own.) Make sense?

[Scourge™ @DisgruntledGurl]

Huh... guess I've been on Twitter for 13 years now. However, if @elonmusk succeeds in buying out @Twitter, I won't hesitate to delete my account. Just saying.

[Scourge™ @DisgruntledGurl]

Good for you! It's super toxic. I'm about to quit Twitter for the very same reason. 😐

[Abraar Karan @AbraarKaran]

Wastewater data versus detected cases

This was a terrible time to pull back on public masking in crowded spaces that people cannot avoid

[SiggyRose @SiggyRose1]

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

[Scourge™ @DisgruntledGurl]

Read the thread. 🧵

On a side note: One thing I've learned about the process of legislating & debating this bill today is that our current 'Republicrat' leaders do not give a damn about doing the right thing. Being election season, they are more concerned with getting the vote.
