A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

IN THE FUTURE WE WILL HOLD WITH REVERENCE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR COMPUTERS CAME FROM THE GROUND.

Not enough journalists are talking about the fact that Greenland’s Inuit people— Indigenous people—are 88% of the population of Greenland. Like, why is the White-owned media not talking about yet another Indigenous land grab by the U.S. ? Have they no shame at all?

Hyperindividualism is so gd stupid

“There is an opportunity to dismantle AI hype and to focus on what AI is: a method of processing information. It is capable of creating statistically likely arrangements of text from a large corpus of language. The issue is what human behavior and data are appropriate to be sorted.”

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Considering the Whites in charge of the US government forcibly removed Native Americans from their own lands without due process in violation of treaties, I think everyone present in the US is probably fair game to be removed for any reason without due process—the American way

There’s a community that’s sprung from one proprietary software that, while generally very nice (open source isn’t a magic bullet to all unkindness & injustice), is the lobby art of digital art severely limiting creators’ options & idk how to tell em
