I spoke to Adriana Stephan for New America's report on AI deepfake pornography being used against women in politics.
This is a serious problem that disproportionately affects women in politics, and I'm glad to see research go towards addressing it.

They created Liberia (โthe free landโ) on the West African coast (displacing nearby tribes). In 1824, they renamed the capital Monrovia after then U.S. President James Monroe.
Liberia declared independence in 1847. Joseph Jenkins Roberts became the countryโs first president in 1848. ๐งต #liberia
They didnโt want Black people to have a voice.
The answer: Send them away.
Still, Black people took the opportunity (and $$ from a white-run org) to return to their ancestral home and start anew.
~16,000 Black people emigrated from the U.S. for the African continent.๐งต#liberia
Yes, Liberia's official language is English. But there's more. The country was settled by freed Black people from the United Statesโled by the American Colonization Societyโin the 19th century. Black folks wanted liberty. Many white people in the U.S. feared what they could do with freedom.๐งต#liberia
