Freedom should mean healthcare, food, income, support, and the right to challenge systems that deny them. One year after H.R.1 became law, low-income people have to fight even harder for care, access, and dignity. Rights don’t protect themselves. We do.

Today is the 27th anniversary of Olmstead v. L.C., the Supreme Court case that confirmed unjustified institutionalization of disabled people is discrimination and that states must work to integrate disabled people into community settings Decades of disability rights organizing made this possible.

AI-based cuts harm people seeking Medicaid home care by delaying support and increasing denials. You and your loved ones pay the price when disabled people and elders lose care, and women are forced to fill the gap. People deserve fully funded care.

AI isn’t gender neutral. It shows up when benefits systems block people over “mismatches,” when automation flags “fraud,” and when hiring tools inherit old assumptions about who counts. Check out TTJ’s Tips for identifying AI Use: www.techtonicjustice.org/resources

Want a dose of alternate reality? Look no further than the gender divide. AI tools use biased data that makes it harder for you to have equal access in hiring, healthcare, credit, face and voice recognition systems, and other systems that shape everyday life. Swipe through, read the stats, & share.

Two people faced in opposite directions behind a text that reads, “Algorithms aren’t neutral, women are paying the price.”

Text reads, “Healthcare: AI can further a system that already downplays women’s pain and symptoms, leading to delayed diagnoses and worse treatment. These AI tools often lead to worse health outcomes for Black and brown women.”

Text reads, “Career advancement: In a 2025 Brookings study, women’s names were favored in resume screenings only 11% of the time, compared with 51.9% for men.”

Text reads, “Credit: Until 1974, women didn’t have access to credit. The gaps in data from women lead to women facing higher rates of being denied credit or receiving lower credit limits.”

Landlords adore AI. After all, the math is simple: Black-box tenant scores + unexplained rejections + higher rents = more money in their pockets. Whether they box you out or box you in, they can always send you packing.

New album coming January 27! Titled “The Good Fight,” it’s filled with tales and reflections—all in banger form—of my life as a do-gooder. Pre-saves and pre-orders at all the major outlets go live on January 6 (aka Tuesday). 1/

Album cover with the words “Kevin De Liban” and “The Good Fight” in handwritten-like font. There’s a red background with a bright red sun-like object filtering energy down to the ground. In the foreground, there are outlines of people, some with weapons and others with their arms up in the posture of surrender. There is plain font text that reads, “Coming January 27.”
