I’m deeply enraged by the lack of native language support for Haitian Creole on iOS and Android. On iOS, though it does the right thing and provides Haitian Creole as a top level language (ht), it’s basically a localization of French, not transliterated Haitian Creole. On Android, even though Haitian Creole is an ISO language code, it’s not even an option. You can only select French, then a localization for Haiti. How can I select Esperanto but not Haitian Creole? #languageaccess #racism

"DOJ ends a key racial discrimination case, signaling an end to the Civil Rights Division as it existed.

The lawsuit against the Mississippi state Senate alleged a brazen pattern of racial discrimination against a Black woman, but AAG Harmeet Dhillon ended the case."

Every time I travel in a border region by train in #germany and heavily armed border police is walking through the train to perform passport control I get very uneasy. And to be plain, I'm a default white cis-male, I do not have to fear harassment. But I always have to think about what I would do if I had to observe harassment or #racism by heavily armed police. I know for sure it would be easier to speak up if they were not heavily armed.

The Black Consumer Advisory: Leveraging Our Dollars For Change

"In the wake of nationwide protests against systemic #racism in 2020, many corporations and institutions publicly committed to being more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Five years later and some are starting to backtrack without ever meeting promises made. As businesses reverse their commitments, it is time to hold them accountable."

In today's newsletter I offer a reminder that Major League Baseball does not give a shit about Jackie Robinson's example or his legacy beyond how they can use it to make themselves look good. https://www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffee-april-15-2025/
