A proposed amendment to enshrine access to #abortion in #Florida's constitution moved one step closer to appearing on the November 2024 ballot after a coalition of reproductive rights advocates surpassed the required number of validated signatures.

@9to5Mac You seemed to have not fully researched a topic before stating something couldn’t be done. You *can* make nested folders on iOS Notes.

On the page of folders, tap Edit in the upper right corner. Then tap the circle with three dots next to the folder to which you want to make a subfolder. Then tap Add Folder and it will be a subfolder.

Alternatively you can swipe right to left on an existing folder, tap the purple folder button, and move that folder underneath another as a subfolder.

Not sure if this was #BDS-linked, but the #BDSMovement is a global menace.

They encourage these kinds of violent "protests," spectacular boycotts, and closures that simply disrupt other people's lives (not just #Jewish)

In #US, #BDSHorseShoe blames #Biden, threatens to upend #WorldSecurity by handing #Election2024 to #Trump and unleash horrors upon the whole world

Hamas strategically employs civilian homes for military operations, often with their operatives dressing as civilians. However, when Israel responds to these actions, it is frequently labeled as 'war crimes.' Stop the hypocrisy.

It’s not Champaign unless it comes from the Champaign region of Illinois.

If the gunnuts always blame mental health for mass shootings, how about mental health screenings included in a universal background check before obtaining a gun? Maybe even some training? Licensing? Registration?

L.A. woman, 88, had private security for protection. A guard shot her on New Year’s Eve

He mistook her for a burglar. Guns are always a bad idea, folks.

“5 voters formally objected to #Trump’s newly-filed state nominating petitions Thurs, citing his role fomenting insurrection & now adding #Illinois to national debate about Trump’s legal status as pres candidate.

…objectors believe Trump is disqualified as candidate & want State Board of Elections to block him from appearing on Illinois’ March 19 primary & Nov. 5 general election ballots.” #14thAmendment

@Huntn00 @AlliFlowers Yes, I think this is key to the delight that a certain group of citizens always expresses when their "enemies" are targeted: they imagine they themselves won't ever be targeted in similar fashion. History inevitably proves them wrong.

@wdlindsy @AlliFlowers As a logical adult, you have to view anyone supporting Trump, and/or the GOP as the “screw the rules”, anti-Democracy, anti-Constitutional, enablers for the modern US fascism movement, even if they are too stupid or self serving, because all they can imagine is that they’ll come out ahead, an advantage over others they don’t like, or even the ability to shove their straight jacket religious views down everyone else’s throats. 🔥🔥
