theguardian.comMel B ‘heartbroken’ by Windrush scandal victims’ fight for justicePublic figures back commissioner’s call for government commitment to funding legal support for those affected The singer and television personality Mel B says she is “heartbroken” by the Windrush scandal victims’ fight for justice, as the Windrush commissioner urges ministers to commit to providing funding for legal support for those affected by the end of October. In April, the Guardian revealed that the Home Office had refused to pay compensation in more than half the claims made by victims of the scandal, in which mainly Black Britons who came legally to postwar Britain were wrongly stripped of citizenship and settlement rights.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

BET Digital has permanently removed all its digital news articles from its website to 'prioritize video content,' I'm told. Years of news articles are now gone forever. Some writers were able to save their stories; some weren't

domainnamewire.comConfusion reigns about new TLD resolution prior to Reveal DayApplicant Guidebook interpretations vary among top level domain applicants. In the 2012 round of new top level domain expansion, ICANN encouraged parties to settle contention sets (when there is more than one application for the same string) by themselves. If they couldn't resolve the contention, ICANN held a so-called "auction of last resort." Most contention sets were settled without ICANN's involvement.

Last year I saw that a .com domain was available to handreg. A term used daily by hundreds if not thousands every day. I decided I wasn't going to register it until I had the plan for the website I would host on it. The idea arrived today. The domain was taken 3 months ago. Don't ever be like me

theguardian.comVandalism, taunts and hijabs torn off: Muslim leaders in UK say hate crime hitting new levelsMinisters accused of being more hesitant to respond as Reform has risen in polls, due to fear of ‘saying wrong thing’ During the May local elections in England, a canvasser was out in the London borough of Barking and Dagenham campaigning for her party.

It is one of dozens of stories that Akeela Ahmed, head of the British Muslim Trust (BMT), the government’s official partner for monitoring anti-Muslim hatred, has heard in recent weeks.
