ICE SHOT A MAN IN THE BRONX 
abolish ice now

We have seen the proof time and again in blood. When violent, masked agents come into our communities, people are hurt and killed. This incident marks the 37th ICE or CBP-related shooting since January. We do not need any more. 

These agents shot with the intention to put this man’s life — and the life of a child — at risk. This is the direct consequence of allowing a lawless federal agency to operate with impunity, secrecy, and unchecked, deadly force. 

We demand that DHS release all footage of the shooting and aftermath tonight. We insist on an independent investigation led by the NYS Attorney General in collaboration with the NYPD and Bronx district attorney. The agent who shot the individual must be publicly named and face serious consequences for his recklessness. 

ICE’s violence is not welcome in New York City. We urge Bronx businesses Kingbridge Associates and Target to close parking lots to ICE effective immediately. We need ICE out of New York now.

Abolish ICE.
On Thursday October 8th, ICE shot a man in New York with his 5 year old next to him.

His child screamed, "Papa, don't die", while reaching for their father lying on the ground.

We cannot ever let this be normal.

Abolish ICE now.

The climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our planet, and Donald Trump ignores it while pouring money into the pockets of fossil fuel executives. This can’t continue. We need a green energy revolution to protect our planet and build a resilient future for all.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

so i guess this morning i am just kind of meditating on the fact that when you reject AI as a creator you are not just bringing things back to the baseline, you are actually PUSHING in the other direction. you are opening space for human joy and creation and even income and that is so cool

Ultimately, this whole thing with the liar Bella Chacha (and her other pseudonyms) is the same procedure for when magazines discover plagiarism in their magazines. They evaluate, ask the supposed author questions pertaining to the work and writing as a whole, ask for any evidence, then judge.

Anyway, I don't have any sort of clear solution here. There's no magical solution to know 100% if any given piece of writing is AI-generated. And while it may be the case that writing styles will shift to avoid "AI tells," I hope that we're able to resist that self-policing as much as possible.

But. BUT. You wrote those words. You spent time with them. You can speak to why you wrote them the way you did, in a way someone who generates their text never can. That's why I'm so pleased to see that Bona Books made sure to talk to their suspected authors, instead of relying on only their gut.

And I've already seen the flares of anxiety from creatives who feel like they can't meet this or that burden of proof, but as someone who works with folks generating text for dayjob, they can't even remotely speak to what's in that text. Trust me: if you wrote the words, you'll know the words.

I also think their process is as good as it can get, for now. As I said in another post, AI checkers are bunk and anyone who relies on them will get as many (if not more) false positives as true. But talking to a writer? A creative? Asking them about their process? You can't generate creative joy.
