A few weeks back, I told a writing class at Coppin State Univerity that AI can’t be a shortcut past working their thoughts out on the page, and they are much more brilliant than AI will ever be.

“In this environment that we’re in right now, it feels like an understatement to say that there’s misinformation being spread about this community. People really forget that we’re human beings.”

No One Was Helping Black Transgender Youth. So These Parents Stepped In.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

President Stephen Miller’s fantasies escalate from here

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated.”

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

For a short time, nonprofit news was a way for some newsroom leaders with marginalized identities to establish a lane for themselves and thrive. Now, mainstream folks are jumping off the sinking ship of for profit news and co-opting a culture created by those same marginalized trailblazers

Baltimore is 60 percent Black. It’s also a city with a deep bench of journalistic talent and a deep history of high quality journalism outlets. Doesn’t the Banner’s audience deserve more than a white lady carpetbagger? Or are journalism jobs merely the purview of a mobile white elite?

Please contribute if you're able or share the original if you're not.

Note that the most effective way to get help for people is to directly ask people you know

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.
