So miss me with the AI literacy solutions. In fact, keep missing me until you propose “AI literacy” that teaches folks how these systems incorporate systemic oppression into its operations. That’s the kind of literacy we need.
Everyone is far too silent about these camps.
“But now, A.I. is giving that murky underworld a new face — swarms of new faces, actually, along with realistic voices, personalities and talking points, enough to populate the mirage of a political movement.”
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Really powerful, hopeful paragraph from the latest article in the Atlantic by @adamserwer.bsky.social
Something to be said about politicians and pundits taking AI developers' apocalypse preaching more seriously than decades of very good climate science

Concentration camps. If objective is to close camps, voters must view them as vile & without any merit. Many voters believe "detention facilities" are necessary for law/safety. Plus they fit legal definition of concentration camps (which is NOT same as extermination camps.)
We’re just getting started. Next 100–let’s go!
Thank you, @ddayen.bsky.social for the detailed reporting, and hi, Secretary @rbreich.bsky.social!
Let’s fix unemployment insurance while we’re at it
I'm not telling you Hungary is America. I'm saying the math is similar everywhere. There are always more of us than them.
The question is never whether the people have the power. The question is whether we build something worth moving for.
Let's learn the lesson and apply the learning.
Proud to knock doors for @darializaforny.bsky.social this afternoon and get my card commemorating the “Father of Harlem Radicalism”
New York City has some grand parades, but the Inwood Little League season kick-off is going past my window now, and they’re delightful. Excited kids, proud families, and a spirited high school drum corps. Sometimes the big city feels like a small town.
OOOF, all of the wage growth over the last year erased in one month
New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more.
They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom.

Stop what you’re doing and watch @mollycrabapple.bsky.social at the New York Public Library.
Such a powerful throughline from our ancestors’ struggle to the future we’re still striving for. www.youtube.com/live/tTEo6wU...
🚨 BREAKING: Two dozen Jewish New Yorkers were just arrested at Palantir’s West 18th Street office during Passover for protesting the company’s collaboration with ICE.
We will not celebrate the Jewish holiday of liberation quietly while Palantir profits from ICE kidnapping our neighbors.
It is not a JFREJ event unless there is song 🎶
Celebrating my 50th birthday and my 25th wedding anniversary this year. Best decision I ever made!
A lot to think about here
Make the Road New York fights for workers, tenants, young people, Trans and Queer folks, our immigrant family members and neighbors, and the rights of all New Yorkers.
And we will not be bullied into silence.

You are not going to be rich. Fight to tax the rich AND for universal public goods.
Personally, to sound like a broken record, our larger problem is the concentration of wealth. That is a bigger threat than AI. AI’s promise is to make us all rich. It may deliver on productivity gains & if it does with wealth concentrated as it already is we might be headed for more instability.
Today’s #JobsReport for March shows a stagnant economy experiencing flat unemployment and slow job growth in 2026. But there is some surprising news for women. Read our full #JobsDay analysis here: nationalpartnership.org/women-back-i...
We have a very simple solution to universal programs benefiting the wealthy. You claw back the money through taxes on the back end. Everyone has known this for 100 years, but people get to pretend they don’t when it’s convenient for their ideology.
“This creates a cycle where a person’s past economic distress or personal life choices are used to justify lower pay in the present, often without the employee ever knowing which data points were used against them”
“They are no longer arguing that they should control the resources because their control benefits us all. They simply want control. And they are using the tax system to take it... This is a moment to say no to the oligarchy. It is also a moment to say “yes” to our liberatory future.”
New Yorkers are back in Albany to shut down the Senate and Assembly to demand dignity and safety for immigrant New Yorkers by passing #NewYorkForAll.
📣 We are loud, and we are clear: New York is For All, not for some.
Pass the bill, get it done!

One place this shows up is in credit reporting — that’s why I fought to keep personal credit history out of hiring decisions www.demos.org/sites/defaul...
Surveillance pay and pricing prey on vulnerability and multiply disadvantage.
Because inequalities based on race, gender, disability are already baked into our economy, algorithms that price or pay based on vulnerability are very likely to exacerbate structural inequalities.
