Lets be real, liberals thinking DEI was 'job done' and not making real institutional changes is as much to blame. It's easy dismantle because it was so flimsy in the first place

Please remember that in the entire history of the world, "that's illegal" has prevented exactly zero crimes.

The law is not a forcefield that prohibits illegal actions. It's a list of consequences that *may* be imposed if you do the proscribed act.

"You can't do that" is just factually incorrect.

Speak up, even if your voice shakes when you do it

The em dash had me in a chokehold long before ChatGPT existed.

It's National Poverty in America Awareness Month – sadly, the carceral system targets & perpetuates poverty

People with multiple arrests are more likely to be poor, unemployed & have less than a high school education

In the last few weeks, state troopers in Nashville have arrested 10 people under Tennessee's felony camping law-the harshest law in the nation. This sharp increase is incredibly concerning for the rights of people experiencing homelessness across the state and beyond. Here's what you need to know and what you can do to help!

Here's what you can do: Share this post! Help us spread awareness and put pressure on our elected officials! If you're in Tennessee, please email india@opentablenashville.org if you hear of a felony arrest or if you are harrassed, cited, or arrested under this law.

This is unreal: State troopers in Nashville have arrested ten people in recent weeks under Tennessee's FELONY camping law.

The punishment? Up to six years in prison, a $3000 fine, and the loss of voting rights.

Kenyan workers with AI jobs thought they had tickets to the future until the grim reality set in Training AI takes a heavy toll on Kenyan workers, who say they earned $2 an hour to label and sift through gruesome content for American companies.

Please leave AI alone. I recognize it is (nearly) impossible to completely cut AI out from our lives, but we should be working to keep our engagement as limited as possible.
