💥Disney CEO Bob Chapek spoke out about Florida's controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill in a staff email Friday -- but doubled down on his refusal to publish a public statement against it.
Chapek said he and Disney's (DIS) leadership "unequivocally stand" with LGBTQ+ employees. He said the company, which employs over 75,000 in Florida, is committed to inclusivity in a staff email obtained by CNN Business.
Disney has faced mounting criticism for not taking a stand on Florida's 'Don't Say Gay" bill, which would ban educators from discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms. The bill -- officially known as the Parental Rights in Education bill -- is supported by Governor Ron DeSantis and is expected to become law in Florida.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🛢 Members of Congress may introduce legislation banning the import of Russian oil as soon as this week, Politico reports.
As US lawmakers are exploring the possibility of an oil ban, Russian Deputy PM Alexander Novak said Monday that such a move would affect consumers worldwide.
Meanwhile, the average price for regular gasoline in the US is approaching the record-high set in July 2008 (just prior to the global financial crisis) 😱

💻 Apple recently sent out invites for its “Peek Performance” event, scheduled for Tuesday, March 8th at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT. While internet sleuths have tried to discern any hidden meanings baked into the invite graphic or the use of the word “peek,” it’s almost certain that one of the announcements for this event will be an iterative update of the budget-friendly iPhone SE, now with 5G compatibility.
On the iPad front, we may see an updated iPad Air replace the model that debuted in 2020 with a refreshed design — also now with 5G in tow.
Beyond that, things get a little murkier. There have been rumors of a new, higher-end Mac Mini for a little while now. While the existing M1 Mac Mini is still a formidable little machine, nobody is going to say no to more power.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Remember Victoria Nuland giving out sandwiches to Maidan protesters in Kiev? Well, her efforts for “democracy” may be in vain 😂
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA spinoff organization employed by the US government since 1983 to “promote democracy” using ‘soft power’ abroad, has suddenly and inexplicably scrubbed all references to their funding of Ukrainian groups.
On the Central Europe page, Ukraine is not listed under the countries anymore.
According to the NED, Ukraine is the world’s fourth-greatest recipient of its funding and has been a “major partner” of the organization since 1989. It is linked to training “pro-democracy activists” in more than 50 countries–virtually all of which are current targets of Western-backed regime change efforts or home to strategically significant resource reserves
