Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

I'm trying to scale back on TJ's— had to admit I mostly gravitate to bs type stuff there, and not whole foods.
But a few of their products have me in a chokehold.

Grateful to join the ribbon cutting for the new Jean Appolon Expressions Dance Center in Nubian Square. In challenging times, spaces like JAE matter more than ever. To offer healing, resistance, and joy rooted in Haitian and Black expression. Another step forward for a revitalized Nubian Square.

Amazon Go & Fresh served, higher-traffic, higher-income or mixed-income corridors. The consumer narrative was: computer vision + AI, no cashiers, fully automated store of the future. When actually the model was propped up by a large, low‑paid offshore workforce in India cleaning up AI’s mistakes. 😒
