@TracyMSweet I’m Head of Research @TeachFX and we partner with researchers and graduate students to apply ML to build automated supports for teachers. We have a large dataset of transcribed and diarized audio recordings of classroom instruction. Let me if you’re interested!

More than two years ago, school police ticketed a teen named Amara for theft. She was accused of stealing a classmate's AirPods.

But she won't admit guilt and pay the fine -- she said it was a mix-up, not a theft. Her case is headed for jury trial.

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!

.@MNPDNashville Chief Drake just shared that police didn’t have reasonable cause to get search warrant against white man who they were told was making a bomb.

Speaking from experience, I’ve had two warrants taken out against me by MNPD for protesting.

They don’t keep us safe.

BREAKING NEWS: Tennessee moves up teachers on priority list to receive COVID-19 vaccine https://t.co/ux69mKZlGp

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Just a few months ago, a Black family was traumatized when @MNPDNashville raided their home mistakenly with weapons drawn.

But over a year ago, the same department knocked on a white man’s door who they were told was building a bomb, he didn’t answer— they left.

It is systemic.

An important perspective on global access to Covid-19 vaccines. May we all fight for a day when human need rather than a nation’s wealth guides the way lifesaving medicine is distributed. @NYTimes https://t.co/2gR0OcGJ8A

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Tennessee currently has the highest rate of covid in the world because we’re governed by white supremacy that disregards humanity, confuses liberty with selfishness, and is proving deadly for us all.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Mercy.

⁦Any interview with Bryan Stevenson is worth an active listen. This one reminded me to stay proximate, that we are all more than the worst thing we’ve done, and that injustice prevails where hopelessness persists. https://t.co/ZSFPkVZQZo
