From prison to paycheck: 1 Mo Question helps ex-offenders with jobs
The Brief 1 Mo Question, Inc. in Atlanta is helping ex-offenders reenter society by hosting career fairs and offering second chances. Richard King, a former inmate, was one of 17 ex-offenders hired on the spot at the organization's recent job fair. Founder Dr. Travis Barber, also formerly incarcerated, believes ex-offenders can become leaders and plans more job fairs to support their journey. ATLANTA - It's a scenario many don't often think about: what happens to ex-offenders when they are released from prison? For many, the transition back into society can be lonely and overwhelming. After serving their time and paying their debt to society, starting over is no easy task. One organization in Atlanta is working to change that. What we know When inmates finish their jail or prison sentence, reentering society can be almost impossible. 1 Mo Question, Inc. was created to offer second chances. "Being at a penitentiary, where you're not getting a call home every day. You are on lockdown most of the time is traumatic," said Richard King. King, a 38-year-old ex-convict, says life behind bars is denigrating and isolating. He spent 12 years in federal prison for sex trafficking and was released this past January. Now, he is focused on rebuilding his life. Recently, he attended the 1 Mo Question, Inc. job fair in search of employment. "I do deal with bad days, more so often as of late because of bills and I want to do more for my family and my son," King said. King was one of 17 ex-offenders hired on the spot during the organization's second annual Ex-Offenders Career and Employment Fair, founded by Dr. Travis Barber. Barber, who spent a decade in prison himself, knows the importance of a second chance and believes in helping others find theirs. What they're saying "They make employees like me. They become bosses, they become leaders, they become supervisors," said Dr. Barber. "It means the world to me, people counted me out, but I proved everybody wrong." King, now a tire technician, has a 16-year-old son and is committed to making a difference. He says his mission is to reach young people and keep them on the right path. "I am out here, 10 toes down, ready to embark on this new journey of my life," he said. Why you should care 1 Mo Question, Inc. remains committed to helping ex-offenders achieve redemption and plans to host additional job fairs in the coming months.

The Best Strategy Mobile Game I Ever Played Just Came Back After a Decade
Battle Nations, a free-to-play turn-based military strategy game for phones developed by studio Z2Live, was taken from us too soon on Sept. 28, 2016. And I'm obviously not the only person who feels like the game didn't have enough time in the sun, because a new version of the game came back to mobile game stores on May 30, 2025 -- nearly a decade after the servers shut down for the last time. I formed a Battle Nations guild with my friends back in middle school to take on some of the game's raids, but we were always severely under-leveled and outnumbered by our enemies. Battle Nations was released during the heyday of mobile gaming, completely revolutionizing what I believed the platform could do. Endless runners like Jetpack Joyride and Subway Surfers gave way to Battle Nations afternoons, filled with planning our group conquests, and it was glorious. The new iteration of the game, called Battle Nations Rewritten, was completely remade by a group of fans who came together to form their own game studio, Madrona Games. This team of developers has spent the last several years ironing out legal proceedings with the game's original publisher, King, to gain the rights to use the Battle Nations trademark. Madrona's developers honed their skills with the release of another game, Tank Tactics, while publishing beta builds for their Patreon subscribers. A tight-knit community of Battle Nations fans approached a major corporation with their own take on an old property and didn't have their fan project taken down. Z2Live was acquired by King in 2015, which is a company that was acquired by Activision Blizzard in 2016, which itself was later acquired by Microsoft in 2023 -- and despite this, Madrona Games was able to make peace with Battle Nations' parent company regardless of large gaming corporations' penchant for suing fan projects using their IP. Now Battle Nations is back in all its former glory, allowing a whole new generation of players to build an outpost and expand their military forces in the name of the emperor. The native wildlife is positively prehistoric and downright dangerous. Madrona Games/Screenshot by CNET What is Battle Nations about? Battle Nations was lampooning fascistic empires before Helldivers 2 made it cool. You're the captain of the 95th Rifle Company of the Imperial Army, a once-renowned military presence that is starting to crack under siege from a rebel army. As flames of conflict approach the capital, the teenage emperor sends your unit to a far-flung continent in search of resources to create a new superweapon. It's your job to grow a budding outpost into a massive military complex, fighting off rebels, vicious local fauna and gas-mask clad warriors that your chauvinistic lieutenant has deemed as "raiders." Your allies are all pretty atrocious people, but their ignorance is constantly made the butt of the joke in Battle Nations' narrative writing. Raiders and rebels are consistently better outfitted and more competent than your team, which forces you to work even harder to stay combat-ready as you advance further into the game. Part city-building simulator and part grid-based tactical battler, Battle Nations appeals to many different types of strategy gamers. I personally enjoyed crafting zany units and utilizing them to defend my outpost as I grew my city-state's economy. Once players reach a high enough level, they'll be able to learn from raider allies to master mammoths and raptors, conduct medical experiments to turn their basic units into zombies and even hire the Team Fortress 2 mercenaries in a bizarre crossover with Valve. (The launch trailer seems to suggest that the famed mercenaries will return in the fan version.) Battle Nations base building will make city sim players feel right at home. Madrona Games/Screenshot by CNET These advances are only made possible through economic prosperity and strong supply lines. Players need to create warehouses, expand their borders to resource deposits and build facilities to process raw materials into stronger forms if they want to build the best units. I've never been gifted at planning out my builds, but the best urban planners will find a great framework to create efficient (and pretty-looking) army bases. As your outpost grows strong enough, you'll start to supplement your foot troops with tanks, helicopters and other heavy vehicles. I remember feeling like I was a true military power by the time Battle Nations shut down. I can't wait to dive back into Battle Nations' take on turn-based combat, even if it means I have to start all over with the bog-standard riflemen. As Battle Nations Rewritten grows and develops, player-versus-player occupations will likely return. Madrona Games/Screenshot by CNET What's next for Battle Nations Rewritten? The new Battle Nations isn't shipping with every multiplayer feature included in the original game quite yet. Madrona Games has promised that subsequent updates will restore many of the social elements missing from the launch build. That means the friends list and guilds will be added soon. One of my favorite features from the original Battle Nations was the ability to let an ally raid resource deposits on your outpost to help them resupply materials they were low on, and it'll be great to see that collaborative gameplay make a return. Boss strikes are also on the docket for a swift return, allowing players to combine their military might to chip away at a boss enemy's health bar (and earning sweet rewards if they're able to fully defeat it). Beyond returning features, the developers plan to add "new narrative arcs, seasonal operations, time-limited events and more to keep the world of Battle Nations evolving." Madrona Games' Battle Nations Rewritten is launching on every platform that the original Battle Nations was on. That means you're able to download the game from the App Store, Google Play Store and Steam for free now.

Federal judge stands by block on Naples, Florida restrictions on 'PrideFest' drag show
Amid legal wranglings over a pro-LGBT organization that wants to host an outdoor drag show open to all ages in Naples, Florida, next week, a Clinton-nominated federal judge denied an emergency motion to stay a preliminary injunction pending appeal. Earlier this month, Judge John Steele of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida issued a preliminary injunction to block the city from prohibiting the drag performance from being held outdoors at Cambier Park and to prohibit the imposition of an age requirement for attendance. Then this week, Steele slapped down a bid to stay his preliminary injunction. The Naples PrideFest, which is free for children under 12, is scheduled to take place on June 7 and include a drag performance, Naples Pride notes on its website. According to a legal challenge lodged last month by Naples Pride, the city council voted 5-2 to issue a permit for the event, "but only on the conditions that (1) the drag performance take place indoors at the Norris Center; and (2) no one under 18 be admitted to the drag performance, even if accompanied by an adult parent or guardian." Drag Queen Group Mocks Jesus, Christianity In Easter Show Marketed To Kids Read On The Fox News App The organization objected to those limitations and to the size of the security fee it said the Naples Police Department indicated the organization would need to pay to hold the drag performance. "During the 2025 permit application process, the Naples Police Department initially told Naples Pride that it would have to pay $30,697.50 in security fees alone—on top of other permit fees—to hold the performance indoors, and $44,160.00 in security fees to hold it outdoors," the complaint noted. In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, the city of Naples noted, "On May 27th, U.S. District Court Judge Steele denied the City's emergency motion to stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal." This Progressive Actor Describes The Unlikely Political Evolution That Drove Him To Donald Trump "While this outcome was anticipated, the City's legal team is reviewing the order and determining next steps with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The City remains confident it has both the legal responsibility and the authority to attach reasonable restrictions on special event permits to ensure public safety. Beyond this, and as a matter of policy, the City does not comment in detail on legal strategy for active litigation." U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fl., issued a post on X in which he declared, "You have to be an adult to enter a strip club, but Clinton-appointed Judge John Steele wants sexually-explicit drag shows to take place next to a popular children's playground in Naples. This ruling is atrocious & the City of Naples should appeal this case to the Supreme Court." But Naples Pride hailed the judge's decision. Parents Can't Opt K-5 Children Out Of Lgbtq Curriculum: Appeals Court "Drag performances are a protected form of expression — period," Naples Pride spokesperson Callhan Soldavini noted in a statement the organization provided to Fox News Digital. "The district court's decision is thoughtful, well-reasoned, and firmly rooted in longstanding constitutional principles. Naples Pride will continue to stand for free speech and the rule of law, which safeguards the rights of all people."Original article source: Federal judge stands by block on Naples, Florida restrictions on 'PrideFest' drag show
