I'ma need y'all to fully grasp this:

COMPUTERS
ARE
NOT
SENTIENT!

ANYTHING that requires complex & rational thought, emotion, or critical thinking, a computer CANNOT do.

It can only regurgitate what it is SCRIPTED to do!

It's why this AI "revolution" is BULLSHIT, and y'all are falling for it!

Wanna know more about Einstein's anti-racist work, usually in collaboration with the great actor/singer Paul Robeson? I wrote about it for Smithsonian! (don't tell the White House) www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Two Virginia HBCUs receive threat; VSU on lockdown and Hampton classes canceled One university in Virginia is on lockdown, and another has said classes are canceled as it urges students to stay inside, after threats were made to both Thursday morning. Both schools, Virginia State...

A popular white man got killed by another white man while speaking on an overwhelming white campus in an overwhelmingly white state and this is the result. Racism doesn’t need a reason, only an excuse.

The iconic Twitter meme that says “this how the photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family” and a picture of a white family riding a jet ski together

This is also the exact vibe of Charlie Kirk obituaries. Nary a mention of how he said he’d hypothetically force his daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby at age 10

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman remembered as funny, savvy and 'a true leader' Friends and colleagues remembered her as grounded, kind and compassionate.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😡

It's not a "trade agreement", bc POTUS can't make "trade agreements" on his own, & every media outlet should stop being lazy by using "deal" or "agreement" & instead do journalism & explain to readers that all of this is wildly illegal & not how it works.

We need to amplify the good news, the stories where communities come together, where ordinary people learn to fight back, where politicians and judges do what is right. If this ship can be saved, it will be up to all of us to not give up the fight.

I have worried for a while that algorithms on major social media sites will ensure Democrats are blamed for the destruction of Medicaid. It doesn’t matter that Republicans are at fault when you can engineer reality for tens of millions of people.

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

Voting is the bare fucking minimum. Not just the presidential ones every 4 years either then disengage.

It’s not vote and do nothing.

It’s vote AND join a tenants union, volunteer, support mutual aid orgs, TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS. Get to know your community. They’re the ones going to help most.

The AMA has spent significantly more money funding Republican politicians over the past 35 yrs than Democrats, including >46% of their federal campaign contributions in the 2023-2024 election cycle when Project 2025 Medicaid & social service cuts were on the line: www.opensecrets.org/political-ac...

This. Is. Insane.
Read this, please.

You know that thing happening, where, since ICE wear plain clothes & masks & no identifying badges, ICE impersonators are out doing crime?

What if that’s a feature, not a flaw intended to provide the cover of plausible deniability when ICE are caught criming

“Wasn’t us & you can’t prove it!”

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

being serious for a second, this shit won't change until Fox News is exorcised and banished back to hell

it's the American equivalent of that Rwandan radio station that whipped up and directed the genocide

like of course conservatives think they should be allowed to murder people they went from “our values are at risk” to “our way of life is at risk” to “they are trying to replace us” in the span of one adult person’s lifetime

This woman is the most fierce person who ever lived

So proud of us!!!

In her thoughtful Medium article, Dr. Alison Wiltz poses this question”What would happen if America embraced a "never again" attitude in terms of the racism and mistreatment of Black people?”

Restrictive abortion bans are bad enough, but many States have a pregnancy clause that “invalidates the advance directive of a pregnant woman, negating autonomy”

The moment you become pregnant you effectively cease to be a person. Your autonomy vanishes. You can’t even decide your fate in death

“being alive” should count as being high-risk.

In what has already been interpreted as an attack on that strategy, the DNC's Credentials Committee on Monday upheld a complaint brought by Oklahoma activist Kalyn Free, who lost out on one of the vice chair positions in February I's elections and subsequently accused The DNC of breaking its own rules on gender diversity, potentially invalidating the elections of Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta. A full DNC vote will now be held on the committee's findings, which could mean new elections being staged, with the same five candidates, including Hogg and Kenyatta, on the ballot once again. "While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers' elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote." Hogg responded in a statement. "I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better. not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us. "The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort."

The Dems saw that David Hogg was anti-gerontocracy and said his PAC might primary currently seated Dems (something a majority of Dem voters agree on rn) and they said "Fuck off forever" almost immediately, and got rid of him in a way almost custom designed to lose voters and empower the right lol.

25 arrested while protesting GOP Medicaid cuts "You will kill me."

New blog from me at @motherjones.com: 25 people were arrested today during a Congressional hearing while protesting Medicaid cuts. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Masking should be mandatory in all healthcare settings. Hospitals and doctor’s offices are where most sick people congregate. It’s also the most likely place for more high risk people to be. You shouldn’t have to risk getting sicker or more disabled while trying to get treatment.

if white people have black fatigue from hearing a few Black people complain about racism then what type of exhaustion should Black people have for the centuries of racialized violence?
