In preparation for Hurricane Milton, @RonDeSantis has done what he does best: threatened to arrest TV station staff who air the pro choice ad created by @yes4florida. It would be a shame if this ad was shared millions of times. #HurricaneMilton #Florida

I’m a leftist teacher. If I were actually capable of indoctrinating your kids, they’d wear deodorant, stay off their phones in class, and stop answering every question with “bruh”

With a smirk, he coldly pressed a button, extinguishing the lives of 200 people in an instant—the grim reality of the Israeli army's bombing of the Fakhoura UN School today. Israel unabashedly perpetrates such acts, yet the world hesitates to label it a war criminal state. #Gaza

I don’t understand the anger at people who don’t have much.
If you’re wealthy, or comfortable, if your kids are warm & fed, if you own properties, if you have savings etc.
Why act vengeful or jealous of someone who has an income of $25,000ish.

"The highest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you.”

Well the whole prediction that they'd go broke because they used te reo didn't really pan out did it 😆

Can you imagine asking a healthcare provider to glove up before tending to your wound and having them refuse and talk about their right not to wear gloves?
Because it's absolutely just as absurd with mask refusal in #healthcare. #Masks should be a basic standard of care.

The most powerful idea in British politics is "the economy".
Parties promise to "grow", "unleash" or "manage" the economy.
It tops lists of voter concerns.
But what if we had no concept of "the economy"?
Until the C20th, we didn't. And its rise has had major consequences...🧵

Wellington folks! Kiwi are now hanging out close to town. How cool is that?! Please be sure to keep your dogs on leash around parks in Karori & Mākara (and tell your friends and whānau). Find out more details from the Capital Kiwi Project, below. capitalkiwi.co.nz/

I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases)
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES
ESPECIALLY NOT
to databases outside the GDPR
THREAD:
X will begin to have users verify their identity by having them submit a selfie alongside a government issued ID. The process requires users to consent to X storing their information for 30 days and sharing it with AU10TIX, an identity verification company based in Israel.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
ID verification is going to be an optional layer of verification for X Blue users. This is not going to affect non-Blue users in any way.

“HI is indeed in an emergency, but it needs emergency proclamations that operationalize aloha ʻāina, not ones that push it aside by opportunistically suspending inalienable water laws & dismissing diligent public servants.” @NaomiAKlein & Kapuaʻala Sproat
