5/ We need an agency at the table that can achieve ODNI consensus on the following point: ensuring the health and well-being of every person in our country is a direct investment in national security. Full stop.

So, how do we do that? Well, it's not by being reactive to existential crises, like a pandemic or climate change. We don't do that by being regressive, either. Banning access to reproductive care and transgender care is moving us in the wrong direction.

​​ New #Calckey ​​ release candidate! ​​

This will be the last release candidate before the launch of the next major version! We've taken this time to add some requested features, stomp out many some bugs, and ensure that everyone is getting the experience they deserve.

Also, it's my ( @kainoa@calckey.social ) 20th birthday tomorrow, so if you could boost this, I'd really appreciate it, as we've all worked really hard on this 🥺

Major changes:

Performance improvements: many changes have been made to make the performance of Calckey even better, especially for users with a lot of followers.

There's a lot of that going around in Russia, but I'm simply not knowledgeable enough to speculate about the attitudes of the "normalize things with the West" crowd in Russia.

Justice in Russia:

Demonstrating by holding a blank piece of paper:

Jail time.

Threatening to kill the Minister of Defence and overthrow the government:

No biggie — have a trip to Belarus.

Russia is going to need a new president soon, and there is a guy in the US who has former experience as a president, wants to be a president again, and is already on the Russian payroll so minimal HR paperwork.

The Republican controlled legislature makes its latest move to take power out of the hands of Texas city governments.
This is just a prelude to controlling exactly how elections are held.
