Reading proofs from book & remembering what I wrote in 2015: "I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one-dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.”

I’m gonna draw a line in the sand—if you give *any* AI agent access to your credit card, email and phone number, you will absolutely get fucked.

Parker Molloy has *every* reason to be angry with the world but she hasn’t addressed her internalized racism or ableism so (like many of us) she falls back on them when stressed. That’s the problem and it’s why intersectionality is so important.

For the first time in a very long time, white folx as a group are experiencing what it feels like to be the target of harm. The fear that comes with that is real. What is also real is that this fear is not new. It is just new to you.

Everyone is mad. There’s a literal genocide going on. Women are being attacked. Trans people are being attacked, Black women are being economically destroyed. Immigrants are being rounded up. But until white people especially work on their desires to dominate and abuse, we won’t get anywhere.

Our neighbors at Nitro Bar have had truly massive lines the past two days due to some new Reese’s collab. I woke up this morning to someone riding past the line on a bike yelling “The Reese’s is a lie…it’s just chocolate syrrrrrup”

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

White supremacy is a myth, and it's harming all of us. The Predator's Table names it plainly. Get the book, then join White Dude Rehab, a free facilitated reading for white men starting September 13 (it's totally not too late to join). Also--I'll be helping to facilitate several of the sessions!

This is a powerful story from a trans Texan (who's also quite a talented independent journalist). I've been arguing that trans people have the right to be upset with Talarico, and I think we do. This is the case for vote for him anyway, eloquently made, and by someone with the standing to make it.

"I wasn't sure I belonged in the room. But no one asked me to prove it. That was the first thing that surprised me." A Reading of The Predator's Table: Facing the Truth About the Myth of White Supremacy runs two separate groups: White Girl Rehab for white women, and White Dude Rehab for white men.

There’s a hilarious dynamic with the Smiley campaign where his only supporters are absentee landlords so his signs get repeatedly defaced and no one cares enough to do anything about it.

Here is Sean Teane, the relatively newly-elected DA of Houston, who won the Dem primary running as reform-minded (but not "a radical") prosecutor announcing that he is already starting an investigation into the Araujo shooting. Taking police violence seriously is a consistent pattern w reformers.

Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare said Thursday on Hello Houston that his office has initiated its own investigation, while acknowledging its access to evidence has been limited. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General is investigating the shooting death, according to the FBI, which has said it's investigating a potential assault on a law enforcement
officer.
