Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A Baltimore County school's AI called the cops on a Black teenager after mistaking his bag of Doritos for a handgun. This isn't a glitch. It's Big Tech's profit-driven experimentation on Black children's lives. Racism remixed for the digital age.

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

ICE detained a US citizen with a toddler in the backseat. ICE had to be bullied by the crowd to not do their usual MO and drive off with the man and just leave the car in the road. The crowd asked them to let the family come take the baby. Instead they drove off with the child

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

That boy good.

I know corporate america is stressed rn trying to cancel the next round of Sydney Sweeney ads before Black Friday. Y'all about to mess around and get a DEI Christmas

Did we not just have a Soviet style military parade to celebrate the President's birthday like four months ago??? Is he not actively starving poor children before Thanksgiving while building a golden ballroom for himself like a narcissistic dictator???

"We’re living in the time of “big Black data”—a term coined by Mark Anthony Neal...to describe this era in which historical and present-day Black cultural archives have never been more accessible—and yet American fascism is turning our web pages into 404 errors." hammerandhope.org/article/vibe...

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Federal funding for food assistance programs is expected to lapse this weekend, and the Trump administration has refused to use a contingency fund. D.C. will cover the cost of residents' November SNAP and WIC benefits, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced last night. More from @maustermuhle.bsky.social:

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Spooky Season & AI Decision Making Algorithms have one thing in common: STRANGE HAPPENINGS!👻 AI Decision Making algorithms do not go bump in the night, they decide how we live, learn, work and survive. Watch our full video here: tinyurl.com/247ebbhn 🧵1/2

I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance. Here's the thing: I agree with those people. We need to end the WHITE welfare state BECAUSE welfare works. A thread:

it’s kind of funny that the New York Times, which is probably at least 50% Ivy League on the editorial side, is one of the primary drivers of contemporary anti-intellectualism, but not really funny in a good way

We are offering one time payments to disabled folks in the South who will not receive their SNAP benefits this month. If you need help, please find more information and details at ndsdj.org/snaphelp. If you’d like to donate to the fund, go to ndsdj.org/snapdonate We take care of each other ❤️

Some good news! “Boston City Council has voted unanimously to ban its government from using facial recognition technology, including the police department, making it the largest city on the East Coast to do so.” www.builtinboston.com/articles/bos...

Oakland PD wants to join Flock’s sprawling surveillance network, which means connecting public & private systems including Ring doorbells, businesses and drones that will fuel 🧊dirty work. Go to bit.ly/noflock-oakland to support the fight ✊🏽

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Fwiw, it's really hard to accept that somebody made a fool out of you. These people tricked voters into believing they would reduce inflation & lower grocery prices. Instead they're about to let poor children & the elderly starve for Thanksgiving. I hope we learn from this mistake

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...

I wanna break down something important that you might miss. In this interview ZKM offers a masterclasses in post-Obama/Trump racial politics that can help Dems move away from pandering and towards authentic, persuasive messaging to their multicultural base

Black neighborhoods across the U.S. were uprooted for Interstate construction. A new documentary, “Interstate,” focuses on injustices in Miami, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minneapolis, and Montgomery. Read more: wordinblack.com/2025/10/inte...

This Ezra Klein school of thought about the "working class" is so performative & dishonest. It's clear that the post-Obama racial panic has made "status" a top voting issue. Status voters use their ballot to keep their perceived inferiors in their place. It's as simple as that.

The gift of ancestral discernment is unmatched. It lets you know which "allies" are capable of selling you down river before they get the chance.

CDC numbers show teen girls, especially those w drug/alcohol abusing parents, have LOWER rates of suicide & self-harm the MORE they use social media, once again showing that the entire anti social media panic underpinning phone bans harms young ppl/girls mikemales.substack.com/p/ill-consid...

The question to ask all young men is 'how many people have you helped this week? how many have you cared for?"

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Beyonce's next album definitely about to be blues heavy. The blues been everywhere this year for no apparent reason. Everything from Sinners to Boots on the ground. I just have a feeling. Come to think of it, even her manager's named Blue lol

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

They are building our tolerance for crimes against humanity. If the govt can extrajudicially drone strike "traffickers" in the Caribbean, why can't they do the same in your hometown? Why can't they do it to the political enemies they designate as terrorists? This is how human rights atrocities begin

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

@clarenceokoh.bsky.social from @techtonicjustice.bsky.social is up, explaining how there is no meaningful federal civil rights enforcement against emerging technologies. #PhillyAIHearing

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

"D’Angelo also chafed at the description of his music as simply neo-soul. “I never claimed I do neo-soul,” he said in a Red Bull Music Academy interview in 2014. “When I first came out, I used to always say: ‘I do Black music. I make Black music.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/a...

Later today the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case to kill the voting rights act. The conservative justices will insist that racism doesn't exist in electoral politics & argue that the VRA is no longer needed to protect Black people from systemic racism in the US political system...

This is a 21st century Plessy v. Ferguson that will likely end America's brief attempt at multiracial democracy. This is not an exaggeration. The Black South will lose its voice in Congress and the state legislatures for a generation. I wish we had a better messaging & mobilizing around this

Tough on crime has always been a dog whistle for "target more state violence against the underclass." Crime has been at historic lows for over a decade but ppl still feel "unsafe" bc social media made the lives of disfavored groups (eg youth of color) more visible to "mainstream" audiences

I never have the expectation that all Black people will line up together. My view is built around meaningful political solidarity, not just identity-based solidarity.” -- Cathy J. Cohen Building a Political Home | @bostonreview.bsky.social with Brandon Terry www.bostonreview.net/articles/bui...

CHICAGO: REBUILD is providing therapy to folks detained by ICE. Please feel free to let people know. findmeatherapist.org

Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.” Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

Everything that's happening is because a majority of white Americans would rather oversee a country on fire than be a smidgen less racist

It was a lot of fun writing this piece & reflecting on how the @noticecoalition.bsky.social builds grassroots infrastructure to fight against AI surveillance and algorithmic injustice impacting youth and young adults! More to come just-tech.ssrc.org/articles/no-...

At this point I can't tell if the absurdity is part of the propaganda or if they genuinely believe this is merit. Or both?
