Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’
Some users are angry that some events have been removed.

You just double-click a cell in a spreadsheet, and either type or paste in a post of whatever length you like, and it automatically breaks your text into multiple posts of 300 characters or less, and posts them to your account. I'm typing this into the sheet now.

Soon after the ceasefire agreement had gone into effect, Israel launched a massive military operation in the occupied West Bank, raiding towns and villages and detaining more than 90 Palestinians.

Really cannot urge you enough to call your members of Congress right now. I just talked to my very red state, Trump-supporting senator's office. Much to my surprise, they were very receptive to my feedback and seemed extremely concerned. This feels like a rare opportunity to be heard.
