This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

At just 15, Claudette Colvin was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white woman.
Her story went long untold, but her actions changed history and paved the way for the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
We mourn her loss and honor her as a civil rights leader.

Why do they keep looking to 1930's Germany? I have no expertise there, but here's what I do know: everything to explain the fascist rise of Trump is explainable using only examples & tracing trends from the brutal history of the United States.

You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Translation is a human art. The translator is an artist. Only a human with working knowledge of how the two languages work can do it. AI can approximate the words of the original in another language, but it can't make it readable & beautiful in another language.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Good books in one language deserve good translation into other languages by another artist who takes care with the nuance of words. It's serious disrespect to the original work to take a human out of translation.

The problem is people think they can learn languages without other people. They have themselves thinking they know languages they've never had a conversation in & wouldn't be able to. You need communication with other humans in a language to learn it & keep it up. Americans like shortcuts.
