Bail assistance groups including the Northwest Community Bail Fund, Minnesota Freedom Fund and Bail Project recorded massive funding increases after George Floyd’s death, according to CNN. Multiple individuals bailed from prison with the organizations’ help were subsequently arrested for murder, the outlet reported. “The charitable bail funds, just by the nature of the enterprise, are going to be helping the riskier people,” Columbia University Associate Law Professor Kellen Funk told CNN. Nonprofit organizations dedicated to bailing criminal defendants out of jail received huge funding increases in 2020 following the death of George Floyd, but some of those they helped release allegedly committed murder afterward, according to CNN. Several bail groups got social media endorsements from famous figures like Vice President Kamala Harris, recording artist Justin Timberlake and actor Seth Rogen after Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020 and protests … [Read more...] about Celebrity-Backed Bail Funds Freed People Who Allegedly Went On To Kill: REPORT

HART: Soros-Funded Manhattan District Attorney Predictably Weaponizes His Office Against Trump
The right-wing “conspiracy theorists” have been saying that COVID originated in a lab in Wuhan, China and Anthony Fauci was involved. They insist the arrests over January 6 were unjust, Hunter Biden’s laptop was not “Russian disinformation,” and the “Deep State” is out to get Trump. For those keeping score at home, conspiracy theorists are leading the media about 25 to 0. It seems to be common knowledge that the left-wing DA in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, is going to try to arrest Donald Trump for some manipulated charges from seventeen years ago connected to his paying stripper Stormy Daniels money for an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) — which she broke. Wow, if you can’t trust a stripper/ho, whom can you trust? An NDA, as Tiger is finding out, is only good unless they can make more money trashing you. Stormy does not have a knee to stand on in this NDA case. So, with the NDA Trump made Stormy keep her mouth closed. Given this, her best case might be “restraint of trade.” … [Read more...] about HART: Soros-Funded Manhattan District Attorney Predictably Weaponizes His Office Against Trump

These are the top 10 most passive-aggressive phrases you’re probably using in email
More hybrid and remote work has increased our written communication, via email, IMs, DMs, and texting. The problem with these types of correspondence is that nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions and inflection, are missing, and the underlying tone of the message has to be inferred by the recipient. Unfortunately, the human brain naturally skews toward the negative . Your message may come across as aggressive, condescending, or just plain rude, when that was never your intent. It can be tricky to gauge someone’s tone through an email or Slack message. The team at WordFinder by Your Dictionary studied emails and found some commonly used workplace jargon and terms come across as passive-aggressive in writing.

Helping Underserved Students Find The Right Postsecondary Pathway
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Dan Fisher is the president and CEO of ECMC Group , a nonprofit focused on helping students succeed in postsecondary education. Conversations around college access and affordability in the U.S. typically focus on tuition costs and student loans. But for many high school students—particularly those from traditionally underserved populations—the barriers to postsecondary education tower above the tuition bill they get in the mail. Basic needs like food, transportation, textbooks, housing security and physical and mental health present additional hurdles to accessing postsecondary education that reinforce existing societal inequities. And another obstacle is less tangible but no less important: Very few students feel they are properly prepared to decide their future plans. That’s what my organization found in our recent survey of 14- to 18-year-old high school students who come from first-generation, … [Read more...] about Helping Underserved Students Find The Right Postsecondary Pathway

Forget about goal setting. Try these 5 strategies instead
Goal setting is one of those things that seems like it would be fundamental to success. If you’ve read any books or articles about getting ahead in your career or life, you’ve probably come across tips on setting goals (like SMART goal setting) so that you can successfully meet them. But setting goals may not be as relevant anymore, and there may be better alternatives to managing your career–and your life. Part of the reason goal setting may be becoming irrelevant is because of the speed of change and the volatility of the world. When everything is moving so fast and changing, the goals you set for yourself can become redundant. That said, it’s very powerful to imagine yourself succeeding in the future and focus on your preferred version of tomorrow. The key is to seek to be directionally accurate , knowing that things are constantly changing in a way you can’t always predict.
