They lied to you. Again.

The book banners keep saying they will only go after school libraries. These bills in Louisiana go after public libraries too.

@Oeneus

I'm sure they meant "death to Zionists", not "death to Jews", because, you know, antizionism isn't antisemitism, amirite?!

@stevel Nobody in the UK is really talking about the fact that this Home Office policy means they can in principle strip citizenship from and expel anyone with a single Jewish grandparent (b/c Israel's Law of Return applies), or a Canadian grandparent, or any Turkish ancestry AT ALL (Turkish citizenship is by descent, AIUI with no generational limit).

Funny how they only ever use it against dark-skinned people who embarrass the government politically.

The "Gilded Age" lives on, but in 2024, Republicans are setting a new standard for human rights violations. Workers wouldn't be allowed rest breaks, even in the severe heat of FL's summers, which has worsened with #globalwarming.

28-11: The FL state Senate just passed a bill to remove local govts' authority to adopt heat standards, such as guaranteed shade and rest breaks, for workers.

The bill would make all local heat protections “void & prohibited.”

Imagine if instead of making COVID isolation guidelines as weak as the flu...

We approved combo rapid tests like this and made them free and available for everyone...

So that people could tell how long they need to isolate based on science and not feelings, whatever the pathogen.
