AI has always been a political project first and foremost. The machines were never meant to replace all of humanity, just those that the Apartheid Industry deems undesirable or inferior. AI requires and reproduce racial and social hierarchy from data centers to decisionmaking. This is dystopia
Palantir effectively declared war against the global majority. Eugenics, genocide and racial caste are clearly at the heart of its ideological project. AI and mass surveillance are merely the weapons to materialize its project against humanity
Fwiw M*GA has always believed Trump was a messianic figure sent by god down a golden escalator to save white christian america & vanquish its enemies. This is a very old political/cultural dynamic in US history. Americans have always believed that god ordained our atrocities
I can't believe it took all of this for y'all to finally see how ridiculous a blonde-haired, blue-eyed American Jesus looks...
We've spent the last 160 years surviving the failure to discipline the Confederacy and its afterlives. That nightmare is happening now, and it will continue until we stop it.
“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18.
Ask yourself why they won’t”

We tend to view these cases in isolation. But the cumulative impact is where the political vision lies. Place birthright citizenship in conversation with Dobbs, Shelby, SFFA, etc and you can see a vision of racial & social hierarchy that suffocates democratic vitality
The political project of the Roberts Court is white minority rule—a judicially engineered infrastructure of subordination for America's multiracial majority. It's racial authoritarian dressed up in constitutional formality
I fear most people won't understand what's happening until it's too late
Notice how they never cite a study or statistic that justifies AI use in the classroom. Why? Bc there is basically no evidence that AI improves student learning outcomes (and they know it). Politicians are putting corporate profit ahead of student needs—a corporate-backed science experiment on kids

Exactly. I could never imagine them putting the word "worker" or "socialist" anywhere near their name... I mean, what those words even translate to in German 🤔
Yeah it's astounding how EdTech firms sells so many fraudulent & exploitative tech to schools: AI hall monitors, vape detectors, drones, emotion recognition etc
My only caution is that some anti-screentime efforts are pushed by MAHA types w ableist/eugenic politics (eg screens as the new vaccines)
We have a surveillance state in public education and it's enabling this administration to carry out it's authoritarian agenda against immigrant families
I must be missing something bc it was really underwhelming to me. The acting and cinematography were solid. But the writers seemed to struggle maintaining enough focus & curiosity about the film's Black women characters to tie the story together. They felt central and peripheral at the same time
Actually I'm going to tell my truth: the reaction to One Battle After Another in this political moment reminds me of when The Help went to #1 on Netflix after the 2020 uprisings. It has the same uncritical, cringeworthy self-soothing quality to it
I'm going to try and stay focused on the positive HOWEVER I think the OBAA win lets you know that the industry ultimately values black aesthetic over Black art
What Michael and Ryan got going right now is truly historic. Haven't seen anything like it since Spike and Denzel
the fact that ONLY six black actors have won this category is unbelievable.
1964 → 2002 → 2005 → 2007 → 2022 → 2026
Palantir has no place in our NHS.
The Labour government must get this Mandelson and Trump backed company out now.
Listen to what health workers are saying.

I was hopeful that the Target fast would help restore the Black church as a home for direct political action. But I fear those organizing muscles have atrophied after decades of prosperity gospel propaganda
Cory Booker proposed something similar recently. there must be a white paper floating around the consulting class...
Anywho @jamellebouie.net had a great video on this youtu.be/MXZvHsem5OU?...
Whitmer, Booker, Moore, etc etc etc. The omissions were conspicuous
This tax cut idea is a neoliberal scam. families<$100k already have tax liability at, near or below $0
The problem isn't taxes, it's AFFORDABILITY. The median home price in CA is $800k. Rent $2800/month. Gas $6/gal. Average salary $50k. the hell is $0.47 in state tax savings gonna do for anybody
So the pollsters are controlling for Harris which is interesting, but whatever. But what kinda methodology did they use that resulted in every Dem candidate being a white man except AOC??? (Especially given there's only been one of them as the Dem nominee in the last 20 years...)
It's always been there, just with different names, shapes and forms over the years.
It's unbelievable that there are millions of people who see all of this & STILL vote to support these ppl this fall. I could never hate other groups so much that I would lend support to sociopathic politicians who treat me like cattle to slaughter for entertainment. But here we are....
The poor & working class families whose SNAP/Medicaid will be cut are the same ones expected to fight this vanity war. Suffer at home, sacrifice abroad.
I see why they fear us so much. Because a people that can do that can do anything.
When Jesse Jackson was born, he couldn't register to vote. When Jesse Jackson died, he was eulogized by a Black president & vice president. The man kept hope alive even in death.
