So we can’t pass safer gun laws to protect our children in schools – not to mention everyone else, everywhere – but we ban guns from an NRA event with full-grown pro-gun adults? Got it.

Wow. Seems a lot better than their first attempt, and could change so much for language translation as well as hearing-impaired #translation #crossculture #deafworld

Today is a GREAT day to remind us that Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia finally legalized abortion nationwide in their countries (while #SCOTUS edges closer to revoking #RoeVWade).

[POLITICO @politico]

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. https://t.co/nl3JFLx9xg

@PalmerReport And the fact that the GOP votes to withdraw from presidential debates is a coincidence? 🙄

Absolutely nailed it, @kaj33. This is the best and most thoughtful analysis I’ve read so far on the #Oscars #WillAndChris debacle. “Slapping Chris Rock was also a blow to men, women, the entertainment industry, and the Black community.” Thank you.

We haven't even begun to come to process the long term consequences of this.

JUST IN: President Biden has signed an executive order making military sexual harassment a criminal offense and requiring complaints to be handled by independent investigators outside of the military chain of command.

Journalists, stop calling the failure to pass the voting rights bill a “major setback” for Democrats. It is a major setback for DEMOCRACY. The right to vote is not a partisan issue. Stop framing it as such and legitimizing anti-voter efforts.

[Gaëlle Callnin DeRuyter ➡@[email protected] @cofrenchy]

@heylizelle Great topic, and totally agree on the culture. Other factors like business formation and labor laws are big inhibitors to entrepreneurship as well. Not all of these are bad necessarily, but some could certainly use some revamping.
