McDonald’s announced on Monday that it would no longer be conducting business in Russia after opening its first restaurant in the country back in 1990. The fast food juggernaut’s plan is to sell all its Russia locations to a local owner and remove the iconic McDonald’s arches from the buildings, so that its distinctive branding can’t be appropriated in any way. “The humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and the precipitating unpredictable operating environment, have led McDonald’s to conclude that continued ownership of the business in Russia is no longer tenable, nor is it consistent with McDonald’s values,” McDonald’s said in a statement.

Speaking at Seminole State College today, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo General claimed personal freedom is more important to him as a doctor than protecting Americans and health care workers from the pandemic.
Continuing to try and "own the libs" instead of acting like state legislators and medical professionals, Governor Ron DeSantis and his wacko Surgeon General continued their rants against any form of vaccine mandates against the highly infectious virus, including any requirements for health care workers.
Ladapo was happy health care providers weren't dismissed for refusing to get vaccinated during the pandemic in Florida.
"A personal decision they choose to not do for a variety of reasons," he said.
Ladapo continued, “I personally, and I know many of you appreciate that Florida fortunately never went down that path of disregard for human beings and lunacy because it doesn’t make sense. It also happens to be crazy.”
The only crazy here is Dr. Ladapo.
DeSantis also addressed the crowd and said he was glad he "protected our nurses against mandates.”

The burger chain will sell its Russia business, saying the "humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and the precipitating unpredictable operating environment, have led McDonald's to conclude that continued ownership of the business in Russia is no longer tenable, nor is it consistent with McDonald's values."
In March, shortly after the war began, McDonald's followed other Western companies and temporarily shut down its restaurants in Russia.
Once the sale is finalized, the Russian restaurants will be "de-Arched," meaning the locations will no longer be allowed to use the McDonald's name, logo or menu. McDonald's (MCD) said its employees will still be paid until the transaction closes and that "employees have future employment with any potential buyer."
The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill in Salem, Oregon was established in 1889. The mill ceased operation entirely in 1962, primarily due to competition from manmade materials like polyester. Today the mill is a part of the Willamette Heritage Center. The first two floors of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill building are devoted to telling the story of woolen processing, on its journey from fleece to fabric. The Finishing Room tells the story of burling and mending, fulling, napping, shearing and final inspections.

(Reuters) -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday that he expects the Senate to vote on Wednesday to approve about $40 billion in proposed aid to help Ukraine resist Russia's invasion, after holding a related procedural vote on Monday.
"We expect to invoke cloture -- hopefully by a significant margin -- on the motion to proceed on Monday, which would set us up to approve the supplemental on Wednesday," McConnell told reporters on a conference call from Stockholm after visiting the Ukrainian capital on Saturday. He was referring to a procedural "cloture" vote that caps further debate on a matter at 30 hours.
President Joe Biden requested $33 billion in aid for Ukraine on April 28, including over $20 billion in military assistance. The U.S. House of Representatives boosted the sum to roughly $40 billion, adding more military and humanitarian aid.
Speaking from the capital of Sweden, which along with Finland plans to seek membership in NATO, McConnell voiced strong support for both countries joining the 30-member Western military alliance created to deter Soviet aggression.
"They have very capable militaries, both of them," McConnell said. "They will be important additions to NATO if they choose to join, and I think the United States ought to be first in line to ratify the treaty for both these countries to join."

Lawyers for the family of Ruth Whitfield, the 86-year-old Black woman killed in the racist mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday, called for action against those who “loaded the gun” with hate on Monday. Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump called out politicians, cable news pundits, and websites that share ideas like the so-called Great Replacement theory, a bogus fantasy about a plot to kill white people that seemed to motivate the shooter. “They’re accomplices to this murder,” said Crump. Fellow attorneys working with Crump also spoke about how they planned to investigate the systems that allowed 18-year-old Payton Gendron to purchase his weapons of choice and how to hold gun manufacturers accountable. Whitfield, 86, had just stopped at the Tops Supermarket after taking care of her husband at a nearby nursing home when she was killed.

Photos from Jan. 6 reveal that “ultra-MAGA” Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette marched alongside Proud Boys toward the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Though there has been no evidence that Barnette ever entered the Capitol building, some Proud Boys in the photo were later arrested and indicted for breaking in and assaulting police, NBC News reports. Barnette’s campaign told NBC: “Kathy was in DC to support President Trump and demand election accountability. Any assertion that she participated in or supported the destruction of property is intentionally false. She has no connection whatsoever to the proud boys.”
NEW: @NBCNews has verified these images of Barnette marching toward the Capitol on Jan 6 alongside member of the Proud Boys who were later arrested and indicted for breaking into the building and attacking officers. 1/4 pic.twitter.com/CzGgLOhQWn

When we realize
After her 10-year-old daughter died during a “Blackout Challenge,” a mother is suing TikTok for allowing the viral “game” to proliferate on its platform. On December 7, 2021, Tawainna Anderson discovered her daughter Nylah unconscious in her closet after choking herself. She was rushed to a hospital where she later died. “Tragically, Nylah Anderson is just the latest in a growing list of children killed as a result of the TikTok Defendants’ app and algorithm,” Anderson’s lawsuit claims. VICE reports that the game, during which participants choke themselves until they pass out, was popular in the 1990s, but has become popular again on TikTok in recent years. The company claims it disabled users from using the #Blackout, and told NBC News: “We remain vigilant in our commitment to user safety and would immediately remove related content if foundOur deepest sympathies go out to the family for their tragic loss.” Anderson, however, blames TikTok’s algorithm for her daughter’s death and claims videos of the challenge were fed to Nylah through the “Just For You” feature to the app. “Nylah was my child but she could have been anyone’s son or daughter that is attracted to what they see on social media,” she said in a statement. “We can’t let what happened to Nylah happen again.”
