a former Cuomo staffer -- a Black woman -- said: “a very subtle form of racialized abuse. You know I am beneficial to you. I fill a quota. It looks good on paper, and we made sure to put press releases out. But you don’t intend to incorporate me into government. You just like to show me to people.”

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

Fundamentally, American media culture places more prestige on being wrong cleverly than being right simply. They’ll spend 50,000 words sucking off a Nazi with a polysyllabic vocabulary before they interview the nice lady who volunteers at the animal shelter because she likes dogs.

The US alone is only worth about 100 Trillion That's a lot of money concentrated in just a few individuals (with the wealthiest billionaire high on ketamine and who just stated they're the reason the Democrats lost the election) Wikipedia & also tracked by UN Data for all the analysts out there

This is only the money that gets officially reported. This does not count physical assets. 1% have 99% of the wealth and dictate just as many of our industries and global problems. Blame the ones responsible, not your vulnerable neighbors.

Everyone on the Freedom Flotilla knew exactly who they were dealing with and the most likely outcome of their actions. They knew there was a greater than 50% chance they would not survive, and they did it anyway. It was a sacrifice of perhaps their lives to force international action. Damn.

More than charging a laptop Will the companies be charged for the pressure they put on the power grid for each AI generated video? Will they have to financially compensate the communities they impact? Currently our laws don't force them to pay for any of these damages

tech companies may kill or displace millions How many have been displaced in Congo for these batteries? How much energy and water will be used (in resource scarce communities) to generate each AI video pushed out?

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Whoever told you that revolutionary = soldier did a grave disservice. There is no revolution without teachers, bakers, builders, child care, artists, gardeners, etc in support of a small % of frontline folks. Here's the t: the only roles available rn are revolutionary & fascist, whatever you do.

What we've done to central and south America over the decades would make the soldiers of WWII sick. We're helping build camps people never come out of. We're funding them. We send people here for no crime but their skin & language. If you're not upset about this: you are the bad guy.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you aren’t outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.
