On this day in 1942, the United States evicted Japanese Americans from their homes in Washington and forced them into internment camps.

Most help ‘rural’ but leave ‘urban’ areas short.

It’s just funny that they’re still pretending it’s because he was such a great general and not because he fought for ethnonationalism and slavery. All that edglord nonsense and they still can’t be honest bsky.app/profile/bern...

Vinsel gives away the game, not only by encouraging everyone to just "wait and see" while more and more damage is being done in the name of "AI" --- as if he were taking an impartial position, >>

Of course the "god trick" goes hand-in-hand with trying to stake out an allegedly "objective" point of view, which not only has better access to "reality" but also is fully apolitical. ... and that is equally impossible. >>

But as Prof. Haraway taught us, there is no "god trick", no view from nowhere. The only way to do good scholarship is to embrace, acknowledge and speak from one's actual positionality. >>

He tries to position himself as better able to understand what's going on, claiming everyone else in the conversation (boosters, doomers, critics) are all speaking from "ideology"

I want to flag a certain kind of move in some quarters wherein authors attempt to position themselves not as AI boosters, but as critics of AI criticism. 🧵>>

“Stephen Miller raised the idea of ending public education funding for undocumented children in a closed-door meeting with Texas lawmakers…according to two people who were in the meeting.” Studies estimate 100,000+ out of 5.5 million TX school kids are undocumented (Gift link)

I am struggling to understand the extremely muted international response to this. whatever you think of the regime, it is not the regime that is suffering. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NEW: This Louisiana prosecutor... • Was forced to resign from the DA’s office for submitting false paperwork. • Withheld evidence in at least 3 death row cases. • Compared a Black teen to a dog & told the jury to “get rid of it.” Now he’s running for judge. With @veritenews.org

"...despite desperate screams for help from Devine and other inmates throughout the cellhouse, [COs] at the prison did not begin to investigate the fire for nearly ten minutes. And when they did, the guards did not take keys to release Devine from his cell or fire extinguishers to put out the fire"

That’s where this is headed

Oh they’re going to knife this guy.

More and more people are saying.

Imagine what it was like to be publicly opposed to the Patriot Act & to the establishment of DHS as a Black Muslim after 9/11, 😂 I remember clearly that it took less than 2 months for Congress to pass the Patriot Act with almost no debate. When you called to register opposition, there was disbelief.

This is a very funny claim. Oh, you would have lost to Harris by 6 million votes? Cool, sounds like you’re a real star.

It is crazy that everyone sees the venezuela thing a success and not an incredible delicate situation while theyre also preparing a criminal case against their chosen leader

I think this is a great idea that will be even more amazing when floated by someone whose hobbies don’t include covering up murder

But refusing to call your committee the name that YOU YOURSELF APPROVED (this is Saka's second year chairing the transportation committee, and chairs get to negotiate committee names) is SO WEIRD that it's almost in its own category.

Saka has been explicitly asked not to do this, but he is undeterred by those requests, or the fact that the council already has separate committees dealing with public safety, the arts, and construction/engineering.

One thing the yts gone do whenever Black people win anything on their own merit is attempt to de-merit it. Because not attempting to do so would devalue the concept of yt supremacy.

I'm not exaggerating. This is what she identifies as the fundamental error of Woke 1: We erred toward believing people about their own experiences.

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

The name of the committee is Transportation, Waterfront, and Seattle Center. However, Saka insists, at all times, on calling it the "STEPS Committee," which for some reason stands for Safety, Transportation, Engineering Projects, Sports & Experiences," whose acronym would actually be STEPSE.

yeah so I don’t think the choice we’re being offered is “pay the police to play Candy Crush or pay them to lock up your neighbors” it’s that this even *being a job* is a choice and we can unmake it at any time

It's been two years since the Utah Legislature passed an anti-DEI law that prompted Weber State University to close its identity-based student centers. Here's what students say has changed since.

My conspiracy theory is that this is a test balloon driven by Vance himself "Journalist Scott McConnell, founding editor of The American Conservative magazine, has called on Vice President JD Vance to express his support for a transition of power based on the 25th Amendment."
