Florida lawmakers order Disney to alter diversity training – Orlando Sentinel

So I just assume Disney will happily play the role of culture-war stooge and adjust their employee training to suit the fancies of GOP legislators as long as the financial favors kept coming.

Still, I decided to inquire, sending a note to Disney CEO Bob Chapek and Orlando’s Walt Disney World Resort President Jeff Vahle. Neither responded.

But assuming Disney is still trying to decide how to save face, allow me to offer a suggestion:

Challenge the “Stop WOKE” law in court. The bill will almost certainly be ruled unconstitutional — just like the Legislature’s previous attempts to squelch free speech were. But instead of letting the ACLU or some other civil-rights group lead the legal war, Disney should do so itself.

Legislators should not interfere with a student or employee’s right to receive an inclusive education just because…

Pro-Trump group sent armed members door-to-door in Colorado to “intimidate” voters: Lawsuit | Salon.com

The lawsuit, which is backed by the state chapter of the NAACP, the League of Women Voters and Mi Familia Vota, alleges that the “voter intimidation” campaign violates the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, a post-Civil War law aimed at preventing white vigilantes from terrorizing Black people to stop them from voting.

The lawsuit cites the “County & Local Organizing Playbook” used by the group, which instructs members to “undertake citizen audit activities to either refute or confirm serious allegations of election malfeasance” in order to “support future legal action.” The group, some of whose members are armed, has been going door-to-door in El Paso, Mesa and Weld counties in Colorado, using public voter lists to identify areas where they believe ballots were fraudulently cast, the Colorado Times Recorder reported last year. The report prompted an alert from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who warned voters of unofficial canvassing efforts and urged residents to report harassment and threats to local law enforcement or the Justice Department.

O Lugar da Felicidade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Nada pode matar o melhor de nós,

Nem a ausência, o desgosto, a dor da solidão do mar implacável

Nada.

Para quem acredita na felicidade

Todo mar é porto

Toda terra significa destino a ser cumprido.

Sempre sonhei

Com os olhos abertos,

Nunca me impus contra a própria vida ou felicidade.

Sei que sou pobre viajante

Generosa com a pouca condição que a vida me deu.

Sou realista e confiante.

É um jeito sábio de compreender a vida

e não cair no posso de si mesma.

Quando vejo que

Minhas rachaduras

Podem me afogar,

Ouço o barulho do meu silêncio,

e estabeleço comigo,

a comunicação que abre

As janelas do mar,

Vejo no horizonte um sol

Que reflete as cores da esperança.

Páro alguns minutos e reflito a descansar

Com o vento suave

Tocando delicamente o meu rosto.

Sinto que ressuscito

e volto acreditar que existe

O Lugar da Felicidade

Secret to eternal youth discovered? Lifelong exercise keeps the muscles from aging – Study Finds

“The single most important message from this study, is that even a little exercise seems to go a long way, when it comes to protecting against the age-related decline in muscle function. This is an encouraging finding which can hopefully spur more people to engage in an activity that they enjoy. We still have much to learn about the mechanisms and interactions between nerves and muscles and how these change as we age. Our research takes us one step closer,” the researcher concludes.

Study authors note that they still have to examine the impact of lifelong exercise on people over 80. Future studies also need to look at the relationship between recreational activity and muscle health among women.
