Also, non-Black people, this is the part where you realize your No Kings parades need to be upgraded to rioting. Thanks. Even MLK, the man y’all cherry pick the most, knew that violence becomes the answer when all other methods of resistance bear no fruit.

Again, speed cameras make a lot of sense as a solution to police using traffic as a pretext for racist exploitation/violence. Issue is entrusting these systems to the police only reintroduces the very problems of the police in the first place.

Hell yeah. I have been saying this for years now. Malls are perfect to convert to living spaces. Live/work, mixed use, elder care with dignity, there’s so many great use cases for mall layouts.

Why did Sam Altman and Jony Ive just release a 10-minute video advertising a new product when they don’t have a product yet? BECAUSE IT WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE PROGRESS IN AI WAS SLOWING DOWN.

GWU is investigating this student for her grad speech— "I cannot celebrate my own graduation without a heavy heart knowing how many students in Palestine have been forced to stop their studies, expelled from their homes, and killed for simply remaining in the country of their ancestors." Excerpt:

New report: “BART’s focus on fare evasion recovers minimal revenue, may be addressing an overstated problem, and is not effective at curbing incidents that make riders feel uneasy in the system” Last part will be an inconvenient truth for some carceral urbanists on here

oaklandside.org

Cracking down on fare jumpers didn’t make BART safer or increase revenue, report finds

The Center for Policing Equity partnered with BART to produce a report that's skeptical of the agency's claims.

I am honestly speechless. Every university administrator at Columbia is accountable for this.

Derecka Purnell:

Last night I was injured as a result of NYPD’s reckless and indiscriminate violence against protestors at Columbia last night. A group of us rightfully tried to stop a group of 10+ cops who body slammed a student, choked him, and put his knee into his back before arresting him

When the student was pushed by the cops, he started walking away before they escalated their physical violence against him, as they did with multiple students on 114th and Broadway

As a group of us followed to intervene as the cops who picked up the student and dragged him to the ridiculous NYPD school bus for protestors and drove him away *alone*

So from the bottom of my heart, FUCK THESE GROWN ASS BLACK AND BROWN COPS STANDING ON THE FRONT LINE FOR THESE WHITE FOLKS BRUTALIZING BLACK AND BROWN KIDS FOR A SALARY

The NYPD is the most diverse, violent gang in the country. The idea that diversity as a reform is so nonsensical and I hope every shred of that desire disappears. It doesn't work in Harlem, it doen't work in Puerto Rico, it doesnt work in Memphis, as Tyre Nichols' family

The new film “Sinners” is a symphony of vampire bites, gunshot wounds, and people being staked in the heart and left to burn alive, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. But the true horror is the Jim Crow economy, which drives every event in the film.

bit.ly

The Jim Crow Economy Is the True Horror in 'Sinners'

The film illustrates the near-impossibility of upward mobility during the segregation era.

I should have been clearer: the shit you buy from CVS also comes from China but that's not what I'm concerned about. The reason we can consume a diet high in processed foods and not die of acute vitamin/mineral shortages is we fortify our food.

One aspect of this that must be clearly understood is that AI has no agency. It's a digital representation of the written history of a language that algorithmically generates output from input. If any real children interacted with these, it was Facebook employees, as individuals, who abused them.

Affirmative action for white people goes way back. Headright instituted in 1618 gave 50 acres to European settlers for each head of household. Later it expanded to include indentured servants and slaves. White people were given land that didn’t belong to them since before this country was founded.
