Tech is having a midlife crisis.
Google is anxious, Apple is confused, & Meta is trying too hard. The tech bubbles of the last few years have been existential dread disguised as innovation.

I'm yearning for people to read the novella I just quietly released on a small press. There have been some delays shipping from the publisher. This book means so much to me, & my journey to seeing it published was so long. I'd love to see it out there so I can get reader feedback.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

These claims are false and can be easily proven to be false. News organization that allows these blatant lies to be said without pushback or fact checks are culpable and should be called out for providing a platform for these lies.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Interesting comment on capitalism to call jobs that constitute the bulk of the American labor force as "servants".... What would the "real Americans" who will be expected to do that work be called? Are they servants?

Leave Black cities alone! There's no logical reason for this. Can only be state-sponsored racist terrorism.
They are coming to Charlotte literally because of a few right-wing propaganda accounts on X and I am livid.
Gregory Bovino, the top Border Patrol official leading the charge on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in cities, and his officers are heading to Charlotte, according to a source familiar with the planning. That was news to city officials. https://cnn.it/49crpZT

So much of navigating professional spaces as a Black woman requires an ongoing conversation with yourself. A constant reminder that you know what you know, that you deserve what you ask for, and that your presence in spaces designed against you matters.

It was always a lie that the focus would be deporting the worst of the worst. To get Dreamer/DACA status basically meant you were a Girl Scout or Boy Scout. And it's silly because many of these people got educated here since 2012 and now we're losing that talent and skill. 🤷🏾♀️
Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.
Then they came for the Dreamers
Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.
“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.
