A Decade of Reporting on Violence Solutions Donna Ladd writes about rejecting “sensational, episodic, bleeds-it-leads crime coverage” in favor of solutions.

Cajun have made a lot of money selling Creole food, renamed as Cajun and erasing Black people from the history of Louisiana cuisine... the French never used seasonings like we do. When did the Cajun start, except after they learned it from us...

We're missing an opportunity to place democratic reform more firmly in this conversation.

Each of those local rallies should be demanding local democratic reforms

We undermine authoritarianism, by showing "what democracy can look like".

Sudan is bleeding in silence: A humanitarian crisis the world cannot ignore The armed conflict in Sudan seems to be one of the world's most forgotten civil wars. The reigning silence surrounding this conflict plunges the population into daily turmoil.

The TESCREAL Bundle The array of utopian ideologies that power Silicon Valley's elite is ultimately bleakly eugenicist.
