🌪 Four months after tornado, Kentucky focuses on rebuilding
The storm system that spawned the deadly tornado tore through a handful of states. The National Weather Service recorded 41 tornadoes on Dec. 10 and 11, including 16 in Tennessee and eight in Kentucky. Eighty-one people died in Kentucky alone, state officials said. Thousands found shelter with relatives and friends, or in emergency facilities, hotels and state parks.
Dawson Springs, a nonprofit based in Virginia, uses donated equipment and volunteer workers to rebuild houses after disasters ranging from hurricanes to forest fires.
About $64 million in federal assistance has been approved for storm victims in Kentucky, with some aid targeting temporary housing, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.

🛢 Exxon Mobil will ban 'external position flags' like the LGBTQ from being flown outside its offices
The decision comes ahead of nationwide Pride Month celebrations in June, frustrating several employees at the company's headquarters in Houston, Texas. Members of Exxon's PRIDE group in Houston are refusing to represent the company in the 44th annual Houston LGBT+ Pride Celebration.
The company has developed a reputation for lagging behind on gay rights issues. In 1999, Exxon acquired Mobil and later eliminated Mobil's policies protecting employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Exxon Mobil said "the updated flag protocol is intended to clarify the use of the ExxonMobil branded company flag and not intended to diminish our commitment to diversity and support for employee resource groups."

🏦 Twitter is reportedly reconsidering Elon Musk's bid to buy the social media company
Twitter officials are meeting on Sunday to re-examine Musk's offer, and may be more receptive to negotiating with the billionaire after initially trying to thwart his purchase.
The change of pace comes after the billionaire Tesla CEO confirmed $46.5 billion in financing, proving in a regulatory filing earlier this week that he's locked in funding agreements from banks and other entities. It also comes after Musk met with shareholders in a private meeting on Friday to continue to make his pitch for the bid and urge the importance of the board making a decision.
To prevent a takeover, Twitter filed for a shareholder rights plan — also called a "poison pill," which in effect dilutes a buyer's stake by flooding the market with discounted shares.

🚨 Police teargas Paris protestors after Macron re-elected

Police sought to break up a crowd of mostly young people who had gathered in the central neighborhood of Chatelet to protest.
Although Macron won by a comfortable margin, the abstention rate was expected to settle at the highest since 1969, with a substantial chunk of voters unwilling to vote for either Macron or Le Pen.
