Perhaps #Dubai, where the ruler is holding two of his daughters captive and whose wife has escaped and is seeking asylum, isn’t the best place to be holding a conference on women.

Ruler of #Dubai: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who is also the vice president of the United Arab Emirates, is a 70yo billionaire who has faced successive claims of mistreatment by women in his family.

If this is happening to princesses - who live in wealth and privilege - what is happening to less privileged women in the #UAE? What is happening to domestic workers? What is happening to women who don’t have the means to escape? google.com/amp/s/abcnews.…

-Moussa Marega, who is from #Mali and plays for #Portuguese team Porto walked off after being racially abused during his side’s 2-1 win over Vitoria de Guimarães on Sunday
3. The ENTIRE 2 TEAMS should’ve walked off with him, NOT tried to restrain him
-After scoring Porto’s second, Marega celebrated his goal by pointing to his skin.
-In response Vitoria fans aimed abuse and threw seats from the stand at him
-Fuck those racist fucks
-Shame on the referee for doing nothing but give Marega a yellow card
-Just before he walked off, Marega gave the racist fans his two middle fingers. THEY DESERVED THEM.

How long will football authorities let this racist shit continue?

“Women in different-sex marriages reported the highest levels of psychological distress. Men in same-sex marriages reported the lowest.”

nytimes.com/2020/02/13/opi… h/t @rerutled
Researchers found that☝🏽when they asked 3 sets of legally married couples-heterosexual, gay & lesbian-to keep daily diaries recording experiences of marital strain & distress. Men married to women & women married to women were in the middle, recording similar levels of distress.
“What’s striking, says the lead author of the study, Michael Garcia, is that earlier research had concluded that women in general were likely to report the most relationship distress. But it turns out that’s only women married to men.”

“Russia, Putin & Trump do not seek to normalize US/RU relations.

They seek to subordinate US interests to RU interests.

It is not just about sanctions relief.

It is about working together to dismantle the int’l system the US has spent the past 75 years building.”

American military and intelligence officials tracking NK’s actions by the hour say they are bracing for an imminent test of an ICBM capable of reaching American shores, but appear resigned to the fact that Trump has no good options to stop it.

Trump says he’ll be the one to build a “proper wall” on the border.

And he likes to say that the wall is already under construction. But most of the current work is about rehabbing old portions of that have been in place for decades.
To build long stretches of new wall, the government has to grapple with a lot of property owners who don’t want to sell. First, it has to find them — and even that is taking a long, long time. revealnews.org/article/feds-h…
And it’s expensive to buy up and fight in court over all that land. How expensive? We wanted to know, but the government wouldn’t tell us. So... we sued to find out.

In 2012, Tim Cook announced Apple would make a Mac computer in the US.

But when Apple began making the $3000 computer in Texas, it struggled to find enough screws. By the time the computer was ready for mass production, Apple had ordered screws from China nyti.ms/2HBT2QK
Apple CEO Tim Cook: “The skill here is just incredible. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” (h/t @scottlincicome)
"Caterpillar said costs tied to new US tariffs on foreign goods, including steel and aluminum, were just above $100 million over the 5 months of 2018 that they were in effect.

The company expects more than $200 million in tariff-related costs this year." wsj.com/articles/cater…
