Hawaii is on the verge of passing a bill that paves the way to ban Airbnbs.
The legislation gives counties the power to regulate and ban short-term vacation rentals, like Airbnbs.
It could pass as soon as next week, and the Governor says he'll sign it.

Oh wow nice to know I have to be a prisoner 16 hours out of the day just because I have a bad spine and my brain works different. I’d love to know what they think of disabled people who don’t have mobility devices
In a Senate hearing on corporate price gouging an expert says:
"In the second and third quarters of 2023, corporate profits drove over half of inflation — 53% of inflation.
Over the last 40 years before the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of inflation."

Perfect omg. He will embody the good intentions with not so good nuances and is one hell of an actor. I just wish studios would create Black characters to truly have instead of just doing a lazy recast so they can applaud themselves.
Sad situation in Delaware. Christiana Mall has been evacuated due to active shooter situation at B&N/food court. No official report regarding injuries or deaths at this time. Gotta say: We need real gun control NOW. We are the only industrialized nation dealing with this bullshit

Dude. Of all the things you could do with your time, you choose to talk smack on a woman who takes care of her infant, works from home, is insanely funny and cool, and has great style. Phew, what a life
NEW: Rents are up 20% since 2020. And a housing cartel's algorithm could be to blame.
RealPage, a software company, allegedly works with landlords to drive up rents across the country.
This is an illegal price-fixing conspiracy. And it's forcing Americans into homelessness.

My 14 year old daughter has been extremely depressed over everything lately. Talks about how even the atmosphere feels different and the world feels heavy. I get angrier by the minute
A devastating new child labor law has gone into effect in Iowa.
Employers can now hire 16-year-olds for mining jobs, 15-year-olds on assembly lines, and 14-year-olds for work in meat coolers.
We dug into the bill and found the corporations that pushed this dangerous law.

I’m disabled and when I’ve been suicidal it is because I’m forced to live on 840 a month. Never simply because of my chronic pain etc. I’m USA and do support forms of death with dignity, but only to those actively dying. If USA and Canada actually cared for disabled people…
@GeneHouchins
If your team is winning 10-0 in the NLDS you have every right to get loud. This isn’t golf. Real fans cheer loud and it’s called the 10th man for a reason
Delaware is getting national attention over a bill to let LLCs vote in a city's elections.
But we heard that there was more going on, so we took a look.
It turns out LLCs can already vote in at least 17 Delaware towns—and this bill may even allow churches to vote.
Thread.
One company controls more than 50% of the legal cannabis market in multiple states.
Trulieve has created an early monopoly in this lucrative new market.
In Alabama there's only one minority-owned cannabis license. And Trulieve holds it.
Yeah Paul Levesque showed his whole full character tonight. Could have simply said that he couldn’t comment. Didn’t need such a cavalier “I can’t be bothered” attitude
HHH says he doesn't want to be "bogged down in the negatives." Keeps going back to the positives. This man is a fucking ghoul. "Best positioning since the Attitude Era."
This is horrifying on so many levels. What can we do to slow down and hopefully stop this escalation in child labor? Besides ensuring parents have livable wages (or increasing SSI if parent is disabled). Unionizing? Is that enough? Federal age/hour worked min/max?
A new Iowa law lets kids drive to a job unsupervised when they’re as young as 14 and a half.
The state says these kids need to get to work.
Iowa enables child labor as young as 14 until 11 p.m. in the summer, 9 p.m. during the school year, and up to six hours on a school day.

@bryanalvarez
You realize a lot of people watch both, right? What WWE does has no impact on AEW. I know a lot of people think it has to be either/or but that is ridiculous. AEW has done amazing for a company that just turned 4. Just enjoy the wrestling 🤷🏻♀️
@PopulismUpdates
I live in his county and adore him. He led the buying of an abandoned hotel and turning it into a homeless shelter. I know him personally from when I was a DSA officer and as a disabled woman support him 💯. I’m already prepping to volunteer for his campaign with WFP
@TherealRVD
Every day people are imprisoned for marijuana usage because they live in a state where it’s illegal while other states it’s now legal. Every day a disproportionate amount of Black men go to jail. It IS a human rights issue and thanks for speaking up 🫡
If you’re publicly saying how sad you feel for Carter Hart etc, please remember there’s a victim whose life was damaged irreparably and no amount of talent overrides being a monster. I get it’s complicated for you but that’s not for general consumption tbh
@FitnessHuge
@ELaserDavies
He’s comforting parents who lost their child, something he knows all too well. He is showing empathy and compassion to constituents. He’s doing his job as President as a father. This is a horrific take

💯 and by the 2nd point I’m not mad at all this is happening and am thrilled. I just don’t like how studios hide behind BIPOC recasts and don’t actually push good diverse stories otherwise. The character will always be white in peoples minds and Black kids deserve superheroes too

It’s as if hormones effect the body, muscle and bone density, etc. Especially when young, you can stop growing or grow more depending. OJ, you didn’t need to post this. Either don’t think about it, or read about it first

I mean I was raised on LoTR and love it still decades later and am a hardcore disabled leftist activist and know many others but go on. We love Tolkien for Tolkien and not just “fantasy story about people doing fantasy things because we live in fantasy”
Happy happy birthday to the bestest in the biz, my favorite oyster farmer, and such a kind friend. As a gift, I’m returning today! I’m ready as I’m gonna be and the timing is perfect. May you have the weekend and day you deserve 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 everyone give

Do you carry the same energy for alcohol? A thing that kills people yet we have “wine moms” What about being a foodie? Or enjoying a sports team. Just because it isn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s cringe. Life is a lot more fun when you aren’t judging people for enjoying things
Tomorrow I have a callback audition for Discovery Channel, Sun Chips, Hyundai, and Marshall’s. I really miss modeling SO MUCH and could really use this. Send all the good vibes plz

Yeah I can’t get a needed MRI post spinal fusion through United. The first one took six months to get approved so we could do a fusion. I have gone without meds many times because they suddenly fight it. United is awful
@DaylinAdams
@bryanalvarez
They just want to hate instead of being logical. It’s as if the source may have been busy in the middle of a live show to update Bryan. I’ll never understand why people hate something and continue to follow, like just move on if you claim it’s always false. WWE stans are so odd

This is horrific. There are women who don’t give birth and still know what it’s like to be a woman. We are defined by the presence or contents of a uterus. I love my trans sisters

@bryanalvarez
It sucks when you’re in the crowd. Takes all momentum out of it and leaves you just sitting there. Like tell me you’ve never been to a pro wrestling event without telling me you’ve never been to a pro wrestling match
The Houston Astros are a perfectly engineered baseball machine of death no one in their right minds would challenge, but the Philadelphia Phillies are “That sign can’t stop me because I can’t read” personified as a baseball team.
BREAKING: Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, and Cal Foote have been confirmed as the remaining 4 players asked to surrender to London Police, related to a sexual assault in 2018.

Your friendly reminder that on WWE tonight Adam Pearce honored Jim Cornette right after he shared an image of a gorilla next to Swerve Strickland. And had Stephanie McMahon, who is implicated in the trafficking suit. You are who you prioritize. And they showed their priorities

But this is not a wildlife yard issue, that is your property. It is pointed at her door and surveillance her. That is a violation and can be used in many dark ways
@lifer_wwe
Never? So I guess Wembly didn’t happen? Most people enjoy both, the talent certainly enjoys both, and actually the tribalism is what is hurting the wrestling business right now. Just enjoy what you enjoy and be glad that there’s competition to push them to be better
Got my patch and my gum and today is my cigg quit day. I started smoking when I was 13. It’s time I quit. Stage 1: figuring out what to do with my hands when I’m chewing the gum so the meme sharing will be off the charts

@LansleyAnna
Oh wow. This is a horrible take that just puts down so many who suffer. So I’m a crybaby because I have severe mental illnesses and have to use a mobility device. I should just probably harm myself doing exercises I can’t handle? I should trigger my anxiety? What?!
This has me cackling. My dad sent over something in my stepmoms Pyrex a year ago and in my house it’s called the Moseley dish because her old last name is written on the lid but yeah she’s never getting it back 🤷🏻♀️

Inconvenience. Wow. My health being jeopardized and being left in excruciating pain for days and unable to get necessary treatment is a lot more than an inconvenience. Disgusting

Being as that prisoners are used as legal slaves in the United States every day, and the laws are meant to imprison and disproportionately are applied to Black men, it’s not far off
Y’all. I just met Charlie Manuel at the Blue Rocks/Blue Claws game and I’m pretty much the happiest person alive right now 😭💕🎉 he was confused by a selfie lololol but we thanked him for the World Series 🤩

That cannot be legal. In my apartment complex in Delaware it is strictly not allowed. Surveillance can only cover your property but as it is pointed at your door it is surveying yours. Speak to the main office or report to non emergency police line
Just had a complete stranger reach out on NextDoor and pay for my wheelchair and I’m literally blown away and in tears. There are truly good people in this world and people helping people is how we get through. Shoutout to my angel 😇 of Newark, DE
