Forcing survivors to provide “documents” immediately after being raped to access abortion is policy that protects rapists.

Forcing victims to come forward in specific, traumatizing ways is a silencing tactic. That silence aids abuse. Holding healthcare hostage on top is depraved

Conservative activists who say there's no such thing as family-friendly drag lobbied to ban such shows in front of children in Tennessee. Defenders cite Bugs Bunny, Shakespeare's cross-dressing comedies and the Robin Williams film 'Mrs. Doubtfire' https://t.co/11iFOV8tiE

NEWS: Senate votes 61-36 to pass the Respect For Marriage Act, codifying protections for same-sex and interracial marriage.

Democrats unanimously vote YES.

12 Republicans vote YES.

It's a backstop in case the Supreme Court's conservative majority revokes those rights.

Says @lilyraynyc about hiring good SEOs: “We ask them the difference between crawling, indexing, ranking and rendering. You’d be surprised how many get this wrong.” I’m paraphrasing her, and it’s an excellent question #SearchCentralNYCSEOmeetup

Remember when meatpacking companies said they had to stay open at full capacity because there was a meat and pork shortage.
That was a lie.
But they got to keep the plants open and workers on despite #COVID19.
And 269 workers died of the pandemic.

An SEO tool, even a powerful one, is a tool just like a hammer is a tool. Having access to a tool doesn't make you a carpenter.

The amount of smart execs who think hiring a junior person to download @semrush/ @ahrefs reports and call it an SEO strategy is astounding.

Two countries with a McDonalds now in open warfare. In 1996 Thomas Friedman had posited it shouldn't happen: if a place was rich enough to have Big Macs, its people had too much to lose from war. It was archetypal of a time when we thought the End of History was in sight.
