Good move by the The Arizona House, it has voted to repeal a 160-year-old law banning abortion, it is a major victory for the Democrat-led effort to take the law off the books.
Despite introduction of #InclusiveEducation, the Montenegrin educational system doesn't provide #EqualOpportunities for education to everyone. Sofija Ivanović, a talented 1st yr student of the secondary school Gymnasium in Podgorica & Nikola Zekić, who holds a master’s degree in ethnomusicology, emphasize the #RightToEducation is a fundamental #HumanRight. However, their experience shows that realizing this right is a challenge for generations of #PeopleWithDisabilities.
what will it take for Americans to treat #HealthCare as a Human Right and not a commodity?
someone cancelled my #chemo and didn't think to tell me. what's worse? the hospital doesn't have a protocol for dealing with these kinds of screw ups beyond a 'sorry.'
it's not the in-take clerk's fault that i had to demand they pay for my ride back home because i cannot take mass transit as a #cancer patient. it's the job of the administration to foresee these errors and have a contingency plan. /1
i have a lot of compassion for the people who work at our hospitals. they are put into impossible situations by the capitalists who have taken over the boards of non-profit hospitals as another commodity money-maker.
i have no compassion whatsoever for the capitalists.
capitalist values say my life is worth nothing. that people like me should be forced to beg.
I just tried and failed to get my 8yo kid into a doctor's office. And I want to talk about that.
I live in #Vancouver, #BC. #Canada. Many in the US see this as some kind of promised land, because there's a public health system. But it doesn't work.
It CAN work. I've also lived in Strasbourg, France. And in comparison, there my kid would have seen a pediatrician within hours of a call.
This failure is a POLICY CHOICE by authorities. Not some impossible social hurdle.
Like #healthcare isn't a #perk in #Germany but a fundamental #HumanRight and employers will get their fair share beaten out if them by courts if need be.
Je confirme : opposez-vous à #chatcontrol , un magnifique projet de merde #europeen qui va violemment violer votre vie privée, sous prétexte de protéger les enfants et combattre le terrorisme.
@ProPublica@vida_latina thank you #ProPublica and #WBUR for the investigation. Decent shelter is a #humanRight so I’m glad to have this clearer understanding of the situation here
Also not LED Headlights are the problem, but misaligned Lights designed to flash and blind other traffic participants and #SuperUselessVehicles that are just #MotorizedViolence...
Last night, city council voted to make a change to a building code that would allow a larger number of not-blood-related people to live together under one roof.
People who criticize me for being concerned about getting a disease that could harm or permanently disable me or my loved ones get instantly blocked. There's no "both sides" here. If you do that, you're an asshole, and I will remove you from my life in every way I can. Period.
If large websites respected our choices regarding ads (DNT is a decade old, people!) and served contextual ads when asked to not track, we would not need to use #AdBlockers.
Instead, for over a decade now web publishing industry's been hell bent on screwing readers over, ignoring clearly stated preferences, misrepresenting what they do with the data, and using dark patterns to maliciously mis-implement legal requirements when forced to do so.

@TexasObserver that's because the #USA is one of the few places where #Healthcare is not considered a #HumanRight and AFAIK it's the only #G20 with 0 days paid maternal leave...
