To all Pennsylvania politicians: I love that @duolingo is headquartered in Pittsburgh and that y'all use it as an example that successful tech companies can start here. If PA makes abortion illegal, we won't be able to attract talent and we'll have to grow our offices elsewhere.
I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?"
She instantly replied "yes."
Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.
For the love of god, politically interested people, when your friends and family ask what can be done about the Supreme Court, don't say "nothing."
There are, moldering away in the Constitution, ways to check the court's power that every American needs to become familiar with.🧵
@mr__mo@JTFlamelily According to Republicans we can’t ban guns because banning guns doesn’t stop gun violence. Yet they somehow expect that banning abortions will stop abortions from happening???
How could a racist billionaire that’s currently being sued by all his Black employees taking over a tech company that has some of the most diverse staff possibly go wrong?
Reminder that I’m not in the Midwest anymore. Standing outside in the freezing cold for 20 minutes waiting for @DCCirculator while 3 buses and their drivers are chilling 🤦🏾♀️ driver finally opened the door to let us in after finishing his YouTube videos.
As the University of Michigan declares that the new semester will begin on time, I'm thinking back to spring break 2020, when it was clear the pandemic was incoming, but the university refused to move online until cases were detected in Michigan.
So I came home: already sick.
France is mandating work from home starting on January 3rd. The Netherlands is on lockdown, and so is most of the UK due to omicron. But here in the US we're throwing the doors open to just about everything. It's going to be quite a January.
@Johnny_JDW @1nstan7 Sandy Hook is an elementary school that had a mass shooting in 2012. If those kids were still alive they would be in high school. So the point is that being “pro-life” should include legislation aimed at preventing mass shootings (ie gun control) not just anti-abortion laws.
This past weekend my brother and I met a guy who works for the state of MD. He told me that he can connect people in MD who are looking for jobs with free training programs for HVAC, welding and other trades. They can also help get criminal records expunged. Please retweet.
