Police and communities can find themselves without a way to communicate. This startup thinks it can help.

When Kona Shen moved back to the United States in 2014 after a few years in Haiti, she returned to a country grappling with police brutality. Eric Garner was killed in a police officer's chokehold that July and Michael Brown was shot and killed by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri in August.

"I came back to the U.S. around the same time as Mike Brown and Eric Garner, and my cofounder is from St. Louis, right next to Ferguson, and he had seen everything firsthand growing up," Shen said. "We had the luxury of figuring out what to do about it."

Shen knew her next project had to be something that would help. While starting graduate school at Stanford, she joined up with fellow student Mustafa Abdul-Hamid to figure out a way to communicate to police departments how their communities really feel and to help communities have their voices heard.

Solange deleted her Twitter account, but left this stirring note in its wake

Public figures are using their social media platforms this week to denounce everything from white supremacy to Donald Trump's incredulous "many sides" argument. But some just want it all to go away. That's the move Solange pulled on Tuesday when she unexpectedly announced she would be leaving Twitter without explanation. But before she left, she posed two important questions—and shared a heart-wrenching note on Instagram about the messiness we've all endured. SEE ALSO: It looks like Beyoncé, Solange, and Michelle Obama all hung out (we're so jealous) "Deleting my Twitter soon, but before I dip," she wrote. "When we gonna pull up? And what we got to do to get my new hero Takiyah Thompson free?" Read more...

Hillary Clinton tried to get out of Trump’s inauguration like you would a party

Hey, it's October and here we are, still talking about President Donald Trump's inauguration. Hillary Clinton was on The Graham Norton Show on Friday to promote the release of her book What Happened when the two got talking about Trump's inauguration in January, which she attended alongside other former presidents and their spouses. Obviously, Clinton, who won the popular vote by 3 million but lost the election due to the Electoral College, didn't really feel like going to Trump's inauguration. So she tried to get out of it the same way anyone tries to get out of a social gathering they don't want to attend. Read more...
