The #senator asserts that this blanket & #unprecedented “hold,” which he has maintained for >6 months, is about opposition to #Defense Dept #policies that ensure #ServiceMembers & their #families have #access to #ReproductiveHealth no matter where they are #stationed.

Moderators would do well to ensure that none of their alleged policies are actually discriminatory and not functional.
I'm sure if I had a policy of setting fire to #techbros there would, oddly enough, be some noted resistance to that a 'policy.'
And quite right*.

lack of #policies focused on reducing our reliance on #animal-derived products and the lack of sufficient support to #alternative #technologies to make them #competitive are symptomatic of a system still resisting fundamental changes- Simona Vallone

In the recent #election in #ClarkCounty, #Washington - about 13% of the population #voted. Small #local #elections like this actually have a huge impact on the day to day #life of people because they are the local #policies and #elected officials for the specific place you #live. People #complain about the building #rules or property taxes or the #roads or the #homeless #policy or #urban design or #zoning or whatever - these elections matter.
13% made the choices for everyone.
Ugh.

#Tip for managers holding these "optional" sessions: if more than half of your employees are attending the optional #training, or if #attendance is heavily skewed in favour of #younger and/or more #junior employees, then from their point of view, it isn't optional.
Managers who don't see this are also the type who have "open-door" #policies, but who report very few employees coming to them with problems and questions, from which they derive the #conclusion that everything is hunky-dory.

Florida’s and Texas’s governors have enacted #policies that not only subject #migrants to #pain, #suffering, and #humiliation but also #violate #federallaw by placing the states, not Congress and the president, in charge of #immigration rules. Yet the president, Congress, and the Justice Department have, for the most part, stood idly by

Linked below … an interesting overview of #AI and #plagiarism #policies in #college and #university settings in the US. Not sure how truly up-to-date (or potentially subjective, given the source) it is. Does anyone have good examples of #highered or #k12 #school AI #policy that’s actually adopted at the moment—either proactive or reactive? @edutooters @edutooter
