By destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th Amendments, the Roberts Court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction, write @ariberman.bsky.social & @pemalevy.bsky.social.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

I'm an AI scientist. You are responding to hype. What are you doing to reign in AI companies actually? Are you going to sign on with Warren to monopoly bust big tech, are you going to prevent OpenAI from having regulatory board seats, are you legislating against real climate and IP theft risks?

the way media talks about AI like it’s some all-knowing digital god is infuriating. It’s software. Models, code, data, compute, servers, human decisions and probabilities. It can be powerful as hell, but it is not magic, consciousness or an oracle.

Some Dem candidates are saying "we think we'll win more votes than we'll lose by being transphobes." And somehow people are mad at the trans people who will be like "You'll lose my vote" when that was the political candidate's calculation. Maybe get mad at your candidate's transphobia.

It blows my mind how every day these people lie to you, gaslight you, and expect you to take them at their words every single time. Whether its AI folks, the administration, grifters, talking heads on TV... Just endless lying while they strip the wire out of the walls of society. It's astonishing.

The response to people intentionally misusing "woke" shouldn't be engaging with it on their terms, even if trying to make it positive. The origin was Black folks directing it towards other Black folks, noting that they need to be aware of racial threats and the dangers of white people in the U.S. /1

"Why don't people feel good about the economy when consumer purchasing power is stronger than ever?" is the wrong question. Any economic analysis is useless unless you ask whether people feel they can secure their future; housing, healthcare, retirement without poverty.

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…
A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”
