In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest
@HarvardBiz article for solutions.

“ Florida is projected to have a 60,000 person nursing shortage in the next 10 years,
so the governor of pudding cut $20 million to the University of South Florida to a STEM nursing program. "
He did find $ to illegally fly Texan migrants to CA however.

Pregnancy is too complicated to regulate & legislate.
And so called “exceptions” to abortion bans are bullshit PR stunts.
Per @jessicavalenti:
“Heather Maberry was 20 weeks pregnant when she got the news, and was told that despite the prognosis the law prevented her from getting care. But she couldn’t bear the idea of carrying the pregnancy for another 17 or 18 weeks: ‘I said, 'I physically can't and mentally can't continue carrying her knowing that she's never gonna breathe, we're never going to have a life with her.’
Maberry was able to get financing from abortion funds, who helped her with the cost of procedure and travel to Chicago, where she had the abortion. Without their funding, she would have had to pay $6,000 to $7,000 out-of-pocket.
She doesn’t blame her doctors, she says, but the politicians.
‘I mean most of them are men. They are never going to have to carry a child. They're never going to have to be in the position, they're never gonna be the one that was carrying that baby and had to go through hell.’”
Thanks to Quip for donating $50,000 in support of LGBTQ communities.

Organised religion has corrupted one of the purest, most powerful and sustaining things in the human condition. It has imposed a middle management, not only in our politics and in our finances, but in our spirituality as well.

Y’all ever find yourself thinking about the parents of the kids of Sandy Hook? Or Uvalde, Parkland, & Covenant. Or Columbine, Santa Fe, & more?
We may move on—but their lives are frozen in time. Forever fixated on a moment they can never change.😓
It just doesn’t have to be this way.

Apparently Rudy Giuliani is saying the whistleblower witness in the Biden bribery case had died.
Oh gee, I hate it when that happens ...

PGA Tour’s Deal With LIV’s Saudi Backers to Be Investigated by Justice Department.
DOJ was investigating PGA Tour and other leading golf bodies for anticompetitive behavior - and will now review merger for antitrust concerns.
A bill has been reintroduced in the House to strip the Tour of its tax exemption. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a CT Democrat, said earlier this week that he was opening an inquiry into the agreement and demanding documents from both parties.

47 per cent of Black people surveyed believe they have been treated unfairly by an employer in hiring, pay or promotion in the last year. That’s three times higher than white Canadians at 15 per cent.
Some of the report’s findings include 90 per cent Black Canadians surveyed, and 82 per cent of Indigenous people view racism in the criminal justice system as a serious problem.

Publicly commenting on a woman’s body, clothing and appearance in general, illustrates how we as a culture are ok with treating women’s bodies as “public spaces”. It’s dehumanizing and puts all women at risk. Let’s please knock it the fuck off.

Tom Fitton told Trump to declare victory before the votes were counted in 2020, and he also advised Trump in the documents case that got Trump indicted. Trump has had legal experts advising him, but he listens to the advice of a guy with a BA in English instead.
