It deeply concerns me to witness the presence of South African white nationalist Twitter users like @IanCameron23, @RomanCabanac, @Paratus2014, @Joe_Emilio_, and @SkyeZedA exploiting the platform to perpetuate a harmful narrative about farm murders in South Africa...
... Claiming that these crimes are racially motivated is not only factually incorrect but also contributes to division and animosity.
Furthermore, their support for the whites-only town of Orania is equally troubling. Orania's pursuit of independence can only be seen as...

... an act of treason that seeks to undermine the very principles that South Africans so hardly fought for. We must fight against this toxic rhetoric.
When asked about the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, Linda Yaccarino cites the CEO of BlackRock and says companies have a responsibility to impact culture.
"When you have those priorities and values as a company, it's good for business."
"When you have those priorities and values as a company, it's good for business."
Yaccarino wants to “help develop Twitter into a place where [advertisers] will be excited about investing” in areas such as “product development, ad safety, and content moderation.”
This is a nightmare.
This is a nightmare.
Musk has essentially confirmed that Yaccarino is the new CEO, but says there will be no increase in censorship.
Hello Poster lovers!
Today is Sunday, so why don't we learn something about social rights?
I researched two significant movements in history that used vintage posters as a tool to bring attention to their cause:
- 'I Am a Man '
- The women's rights movement.
Let's dive in!

I researched two significant movements in history that used vintage posters as a tool to bring attention to their cause:

Let's dive in!
The "I Am a Man" movement emerged in Memphis, TN in 1968, with African American sanitation workers demanding better pay and safer working conditions. The workers marched with signs bearing the words "I Am a Man," asserting their humanity and dignity in the face of discrimination.
Given the current state of affairs, maybe take some time to listen to the stories of #trans folks, and hear what they have to say.

@NSFTtweets Thank you. This should not have taken 2 1/2 years to correct. We look forward to hearing the @NSFTtweets Board answers to our other questions at or before the Board meeting on the 6 April.
@NSFTtweets Single sex wards are an issue of safety for women and girls.

#womenshealth is #disparate because medicine evolved in a patriarchal society. Male presentations of disease are “typical”, female ones are “atypical”. Society becoming more #gender #equal, doesn’t undo the historical bias of medicine we still rely our practice on - as a result,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
While #postpartum care is an obvious example. @American_Heart published that women don’t classically present with chest pain like men in heart attacks, but instead may have fatigue or insomnia. This can be easily written off by doctors as “stress” ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
“Stress” is a generous explanation I hear of writing off symptoms. More commonly, I hear “dramatic” or “being extra” as explanations. Those aren’t ICD codes, but implicit biases disproportionately assigned to female patients.
🎉🇺🇸 Today marks the 169th anniversary of the Republican Party of the United States, organized in Ripon, Wisconsin on this day in 1854! Let's take a journey through its early history. #GOP #RepublicanPartyAnniversary
📜 The Republican Party was formed in response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed for the possibility of slavery in new territories. Anti-slavery activists and former Whig Party members united to fight for a common cause. #1854 #KansasNebraskaAct
🤝 The party's name was inspired by Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party, emphasizing the Republican Party's commitment to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. #Jefferson #Inspiration
We recommend reading @CCriadoPerez's Invisible Women, about the ways policy development & impact assessments fail to assess the impact on women.
Equality Impact Assessments matter.
We have asked @TeamQEH to correct their EIAs to include the 4 missing protected characteristics.
Equality Impact Assessments matter.
We have asked @TeamQEH to correct their EIAs to include the 4 missing protected characteristics.
Despite now having the correct list of protected characteristics in V3 of the @TeamQEH Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, the policy & EIAs do not cover those with the protected characteristic of sex as it uses the word “gender” instead of sex. >

1/10: Let's talk about #WhitePrivilege. It's a term used to describe the advantages and benefits that white people receive solely because of the color of their skin.
2/10: These benefits include access to better education, job opportunities, and healthcare, as well as the ability to move through life without being discriminated against based on skin color.
3/10: White privilege doesn't mean that white people don't face challenges or difficulties in life. It simply means that they won't face additional obstacles because of their skin color.

2/ #WHO is working on two agreements that will expand its powers & role in declared health emergencies & pandemics. These include widening the definition of ‘health emergencies’ within which such powers may be used.
3/ The #IHR amendment process in WHO is relatively transparent. Amendments are proposed by national bureaucracies & collated by WHO. WHO has gone to unusual lengths to open hearings to public submissions.
Forcing Someone to a Vulnerable Position to Get What You want is Poor Leadership Skill!

1/15 We are the underdogs. And that's your opportunity on #egld.
An underdog strategy involves a small and, usually, young firm taking on a much larger competitor into a challenge with much bigger opponents in order to break their monopoly. 100% DEFI and DAO on @MultiversX

3/15 There is a monopoly on @MultiversX and we are offering a secondary option truly DEFI & DAO where people can choose to earn 50% of anything we do. If the monopoly is Coca-Cola, we are Pepsi - because we love #pepsi more anyway.
An unfortunate, but sadly, expected outcome.

303 Creative, a website co, wants to expand into the wedding market.
However, it wants only heterosexual wedding clients, as it believes same-sex marriage conflicts with God’s will
Plus it wants to put a statement on the website explaining its refusal to serve same-sex couples

I had to do it, because I didn’t have a fancy degree, and I was on another medication to knock out a horse.
I don’t understand why everyone feels they should be able to make a lot of money without working.

The drive to win the vote was an extensive & diverse effort. But, it did not guarantee all women this right. Chinese American women fought for the right to vote until 1943, Japanese and other Asian American women until 1952.

American Indian women were only able to win the right to vote by fighting for it state by state. The last state to guarantee voting rights for Native people was Utah in 1962.

'#partnerincrime for life': Activist Gay Couple Accused of Sexually Abusing Adopted Boys to Make Child Porn

Adoptive fathers William Dale Zulock and Zachary Jacoby Zulock were arrested on suspicion of "producing homemade child sexual abuse material" with the "sibling pair residing in the home" aka their young adopted sons.
The two Zulocks were booked after authorities executed a late-night search warrant at the gay married men's custom-built "mansion." Both were denied public defenders due to Zack's income of $7,500/week.
Zack was transferred out of county and has "Maximum" classification status.
