There are now 50 --FIFTY towns and cities in #Texas participating in the #nationwide #NoKings protests! This is amazing. I'm so glad El Paso has joined in.
Now... we're looking at you Waco, Nacogdoches, and College Station. Come on party people. Let's do this thang!
Hmmm. There's definitely an issue with Nationwide Building Society's Faster Payments process today despite being denied on the phone.
I've sent three payments today and none have arrived despite being marked as 'Complete' by Nationwide, and the call centre confirming they've been sent.
What to know about Saturday's nationwide "Hands Off!" anti-Trump protests
https://www.axios.com/2025/04/03/hands-off-protest-trump-musk-april-5
A nationwide anti-President Trump movement on Saturday, "Hands Off!," is expected to be the largest single-day protest since he entered office.
"This is not just corruption," the Hands Off! website said. "This is not just mismanagement. This is a hostile takeover."
Cybersecurity experts go to great lengths to teach us all never to click on links in emails that go to a website that's different to the one they look like they go to, especially if they are anything to do with money.
And then Nationwide routinely send emails in which all their links display as "nationwide.co.uk" but actually go to some BS tracking URL at a different domain.
WTF, Nationwide?

Federal judge blocks employee abortion, IVF protections
at thousands of Catholic employers nationwide
The group that brought the challenge to a new federal policy argues it cannot be forced to accommodate
"immoral infertility 'treatments.'"
A federal judge in North Dakota issued an #injunction on Monday 
blocking the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from protecting
any employees of any members of a nationwide Catholic association
who are seeking time off or other accommodations under the #Pregnant #Workers #Fairness #Act
for an 
abortion or in vitro fertilization ( #IVF ) treatment.
U.S. District Judge #Daniel #Traynor, a Trump appointee to the federal court in North Dakota, issued the religion-infused preliminary injunction to partially
block enforcement of an EEOC rule implementing the 2022 law, 
along with related implementation of Title VII of the #Civil #Rights #Act of 1964,
as to the Catholic Benefits Association and its members
— current or future
— #nationwide.
The order covers 
more than 8,000 employers
— including thousands of churches
— across the country.
The #PWFA was passed in December 2022 and is supposed to protect covered workers from discrimination on the basis of “pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions”
by, in part, requiring employers to provide employees with reasonable accommodations.
The EEOC proposed its implementing rule for the PWFA in August 2023,
stating in part that abortion and fertility treatment, including IVF,
are covered by the law’s protections.
That rule, which does not relate to insurance coverage, went into effect in June.
Judge Traynor concluded that the CBA is likely to succeed in its challenge to the rule and related Title VII enforcement guidance under the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act".
Any appeal would go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit,
which only has one Democratic appointee among its 11 judges.

@glynmoody! I had a very similar experience with #Nationwide over a £200 purchase. They held it up as a possible scam, I confirmed it was ok and happy to take the risk. They froze my account and refused to unlock it until I gave them records of my past experience and competence in the area, which I refused to do and told them to close the account instead.
Long story short, I switched, they caused endless hassle both then and in the changeover and gave me £75 to compensate.
Last week, @danielpeake told us that ducks are excellent skateboarders. Herbie demonstrated this fact in the 1970s.

Ten years later, #ErinHawley, 44, is now at the center of one of the country’s most heated cultural battles about #BodilyAutonomy, #GenderRoles & #abortion. On Tues, for the first time since the overturning of #RoeVWade, #SCOTUS considered a case involving #nationwide limits on #abortion #access. And Ms. Hawley was the woman standing before the justices, arguing to sharply curtail access to the #AbortionPill.
