@SenatorTester What about the small businesses that want to require vaccination for their employees or customers, but are prohibited by MT's government from doing so?

[Jennifer Ambrose @jeneambrose]

Wow, nope, I did not expect that ending.

@Eden_Eats Same with vision! Eyes: the luxury organs. 😞

@jrcflatheadmemo The first one - I can barely see the distinction in the gray map, and the other is really glaring and almost makes it look like the reservations are part of the western MT district.

@monisha_rajesh I really liked Welcome to Lagos by @ChibunduOnuzo, Kinky Gazpacho by @LoriTharps, and The Memory of Love by @aminattaforna

@AskAManager What's likely to happen to businesses that try to mandate vaccination in states that passed a law prohibiting it?

[Jennifer Ambrose @jeneambrose]

Imagine being a refugee from #Afghanistan, and being told you're getting resettled in the state @RepRosendale represents. 😕 Thank goodness for organizations like @SoftLanding_MSO that welcome the refugees our elected official tried to refuse. #Montana

[Jennifer Ambrose @jeneambrose]

@RepRosendale You are shameful and an embarrassment to the state.

There are many aid workers who do noble, honest work in appalling conditions. Also true that being an aid worker doesn't guarantee someone is any more honest or noble than average person. They also need to be watched, particularly b/c of power they have over desperate people 👇

@zenpeacekeeper I loved reading this ❤️

I'm not usually a huge podcast listener, but with two about the Elizabeth Holmes trial, #SummerOfGold hosted by @michellekwan, and this season of @upandvanished about an #MMIW case in Montana, that's going to have to change. 🎧 (h/t @carolinefiennes for the latter 2!)

Are you an American journalist who's worked in Afghanistan?

Then there's a 100% chance you hired Afghan nationals to help you with your work.

Here's how you might be able to help them right now...

@GalvinAlmanza Thank you for this! My husband had no side effects from either dose of Pfizer.

[Jennifer Ambrose @jeneambrose]

The sad part is, I'm not even surprised. 😕

[Jennifer Ambrose @jeneambrose]

@guidopalazzo @jt_kerwin 100%. My Montana hometown is in upheaval right now because (gasp!) the hospital is trying to mandate vaccines for employees. The state leg is trying to pass a law that would prohibit the requirement (violating federal law?). Anti-vaxxers are out in droves, it's a nightmare.

@citizen_crystal @Wolfe321 I would never support actually shaming anyone, but I don't at all think that's what Lauren was doing, and I largely find that "thin shaming" and "reverse racism" are cut from the same cloth.
