Melanesian nations vow to connect and expand marine protected areas

encryption...the idea that major corporations like microsoft and apple don't already have keystroke level ability that already allows them to bypass your information and it flags you as somebody who think your communication needs to be watched. It also inflates your own fear levels and frankly is time consuming and more of a pain in the ass because it's already treating my #FREESPEECH as if it's #criminal instead of #protected

The God Who Fights for You

We often ask God to help us fight our battles, but how often do we stop to realize He already has? The cross was not simply an act of love. It was an act of war. Jesus stepped onto a battlefield we could never win. He took on sin, death, hell, and the grave itself. He willingly put His life on the line so that we could have life and life more abundant (John 10:10). No one has ever fought for us the way Jesus has. Click here to read the full devotional. ✨

"One new provision explicitly bans recipients from using federal grant money to promote or support 'disparate-impact' #liability, which would show whether a #policy or #activity disproportionately harms people of #color or other #protected #classes. This includes a strict #prohibition on funding disparate-impact studies, disparate-impact litigation or any award activity driven by assumed disparate-impact risk..." IOW, this policy is explicitly #racist!
