Open source everything. That's it. Remove any layers and transparency for everything, especially companies and stuff like that. Make it so that we can check anything about every person in power.

I don't think any PoC can shelter behind their skin colour anymore. It was Asian organizations who played a key role in ending the Affirmative action. I am a Canadian of South Asian origin and I can write multiple long threads on anti-blackness among brown people, especially among Indians.

Stephen A. Smith is the same dude who blamed Ray Rice’s wife for Ray Rice putting his hands on her in that elevator so he been a piece of shit human being. But Stephen’s coonery has gone into overdrive ever since TO said Max Kellerman was Blacker than him.

AI scams on eBay: A friend of mine found an account that is purportedly selling a photo of her father with her and her sister when they were children. Only problem? The photo is fake. We’ve been reporting it to eBay, which just told me it’s not a TOS violation. 🫠

When I blocked all the new .gov Bluesky accounts en masse, that didn't mean that I wanted everyone to post screenshots of what the idiots are skeeting! It means that I don't want to see their crap on here! DO YOU UNDERSTAND

Every day people prove to me that they would've demonized slaves for revolting against their oppressors

D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

Black people suffer social or literal death when we say no. He wouldn’t kiss that white woman’s ass or make nice with her, so they banned him.

"You're not resisting correctly unless you are willing to destroy your entire life and risk your family's safety" isn't good faith. You don't get to volunteer other people for jeopardy.

Portland:

sherman, for the love of god!

Basically what’s happening is an expression of the larger national project of ridding us of the idea of public goods, and a public in general.

Good time as ever for a reminder that journalists should not be stenographers for the pigs. If your only source is law enforcement, that’s not a story it’s a press release and you don’t have to print it.

For the quotes: This awful looking mf is Shri Thanedar, Rep for MI 13th. He represents the East side of Detroit down to the river out to Romulus.

When I saw that poster and his face was on it...I almost posted this b/c I remember that. Felt out of pocket for speaking on someone mental but I deffo remember him fucking off to Africa cause he said some white dude was laughing too hard at the pixie skit.

I do not like when grown white men call me brother lol

stop sharing ai videos for any reason challenge

The WNBA is a microcosm of how obscenely talented Black folks, in this case Black women specifically, have to navigate the incompetence of whiteness and its tokens to make a decent living at something they excel at.

Shawty must be starved for engagement because she was singing a different tune last year

Disillusioned with existence.

He has an entire military intel apparatus and makes decisions on what he sees on tv.

The boosters all start the same. "I agree that this position on LLMs is wrong and unhinged, but they're inevitable." "I'm not saying everyone has to use them but they're good for me." "I disagree about the environmental effects." "What is ✌🏾plagiarism✌🏾REALLY?"

A BAR

A very apt encapsulation of that website.

So *just* being an Atheist huh?

dropping this again. It's a free PDF version of her autobiography

PROUD OF THEM.

if !isBlack && user.posts.contains("enshittification") && user.get_communities()?.is_empty() { println!("You are not my target audience. Try Mastodon."); }

Sometimes im glad I didnt have cable.

Iono man, it’s just too much hostility nowadays towards the wrong people

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

remember how we been saying white people could end this whenever they want to? 😬

Disney lost $4B in one day. Tell me again how movement organizing doesn't work.

Those without honor are almost always hypocrites, but do not think that exposing their hypocrisy will thwart them. Double standards are their weapons, wielded gleefully against those who attempt to maintain honor and fair play. Do not abandon your own principles, but know when your enemy has none.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

...and he will bootlick for Dems like he always does.

Its almost as if all they ever wanted to do was be racist/mysogynistic/transphobic. Funny how that works...

if only Black people went to Klan meetings to debate their humanity

Motherfuckers begging to say shit suddenly ain't got shit to say. Sad.

Jimmy Kimmel spent years doing mealy-mouthed middle america bullshit, petting trumps stupid hair, and they STILL axed his show for telling the obvious truth. goes to show you what capitulating to fascists gets you.

I wanted Jimmy Kimmel off the air but not like this

I know this is primarily b/c this is a new acc but im having to block about 5-10 bots a day. Anyone got a list so I can start mass blocking?

#AddtoBlacksky #AddToBlackSky

it kills me knowing what’s needed is for people to double down on bucking any demands for “civility” because they understand these demands are training people to surveil & snitch on their neighbors and an exploit to intensify authoritarian control over our thoughts.

lol and by difficult, she means racist. I hope that clears things up!

Let’s talk about how white leftists refuse to believe that they can be racist. Every time a Black person says that white leftists have racial blind spots they ALWAYS say that they’re a liberal not a leftist. Like they are somehow incapable of having a racial bias

it’s been race all along and I don’t know if I can handle non-Black people just discovering this over and over for the rest of my life
