Acquitted on all counts... after killing two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha. This is the same system that sentenced Crystal Mason, a Black mother of three, to five years for voting when she didn't realize a felony conviction made her ineligible. America in a nutshell.
The jury has found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts.

Sitting in Parliament listening to Jacob Rees-Mogg claiming second jobs are needed for MPs to get real-world experience. Nonsense. If they wanted real-world experience, these MPs would get jobs in shops, as bus drivers or in their local community - like millions of people have.

As a mother, I can't wait until my 6 year old can be vaccinated against covid. My #1 reason is that I hope to reduce her chances of getting long covid or suffering any long-term effects. I want to share some of my personal thoughts here. 1/

Can we start talking less about the personal freedom to not get vaccinated, and start talking more about the collective freedom to not die from COVID?

This is an absolute travesty. The richest country in the history of the world "can't afford" to take care of its own citizens...is this what they mean by American exceptionalism?
🚨 Senate Democrats have decided to drop paid family and medical leave, a key cornerstone of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, from their mammoth social spending package Wednesday after attempts to drastically pare it down were deemed insufficient, three sources tell me.

That’s why everybody needs to do the isolation/social distance thing...not just the susceptible. Get over it and do it. You’re a lit match in a world of kerosene-soaked tissue paper.

It's even more shocking to see the complacency still pervasive in the US, as if math worked differently here. (To be precise: politicians are complacent, hospitals aren't, most are deeply worried.)
1/ I may be repeating myself, but I want to fight this sense of security that I see outside of the epicenters, as if nothing was going to happen "here". The media in Europe are reassuring, politicians are reassuring, while there's little to be reassured of. #COVID19 #coronavirus

Even sophisticated users fall for phishing attacks. Technology, not training, is the best way to protect yourself and your organization. Great article by Jesse Burns in @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/googlecloud…
