But what it does mean is now is the time to think critically about what this tech can and can't do and if we even want those capabilities. As always my hope is that companies would have dialogue with deaf people to see what kinds of improvements people need and want, before they try to hide us away.

Federal data shows that in recent months ICE has primarily targeted immigrants with no criminal record. Fox's coverage suggested the opposite.

Only 3 of 113 Fox News segments about ICE actions mentioned that the majority of immigrants being arrested have no criminal record
Fox News has spent the last 3 months heavily focused on Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, arrests, or deportations that target criminal immigrants, but in reality, a majority of immigrants be...

For me… one of my most treasured experiences was going to my last Back To School Nights and seeing those parents I had befriended back when the kids were in elementary school… having gone through so much together… my vote is to make friends and get phone numbers… it takes a village -Good Luck!

I live in California- my alarm had gone off and I was listening to NPRs report of the first tower hit (reports that it was a plane seemed unbelievable)… so when I got up, I turned on the tv while I got ready. My husband and I saw the second tower hit. No words can describe that moment.

When ICE tells you they’re targeting the worst of the worst, this is what they mean. ICE arrested Ameaka at BWI airport, and immediately moved her out of state to a GEO facility in Louisiana. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...
Screenshot of two paragraphs of article text reading: "Ameaka began studying for a master's degree in public health in 2023 as a Fulbright scholar, according to her LinkedIn page. She's affiliated with the university's environmental health and engineering department and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, according to her faculty page on the university's website. She's also the founder of a peer education organization, BodyTalk, which aims to educate young women and girls about self-esteem, health and body positivity."

Trump has done such a massive disservice to the US football team and American fans with his intervention. He's essentially politicised the team through tainting them with his corruption. The rest of the world is now rooting for Belgium tonight for political reasons. That's not how sport should be.
