ICE has access to school cameras; data centers are being built in kids' neighborhoods; schools are putting AI microphones in bathrooms; and AI is calling the cops on Black children for eating a bag of Doritos.... And the Dems big idea for Project 2029 is to take your kids' phone away...

“…several advertisers said Meta's AI tool had also generated bizarre or nonsensical ads for their products, and that some settings, like ‘test new creative features’ and ‘automatic adjustments,’ had automatically been toggled to ‘on.’”

You wanna know how dumb chatgpt is? I asked it a question about Olivia Rodrigo's 3rd album and it told me she's only released 2 albums. Her third album not only released but was #1, the singles all charting. Chatgpt can't even google shit. If you trust it's info for *anything* you are insane.

Meanwhile...

But hey, at least we got a costly war and tariffs nobody wanted and he demolished half the White House and trashed the reflection pool!

Algorithmic racism is more than "biased" training data. The political economy of AI requires a racialized underclass. The ppl suffocating from data center turbines are the same ppl surveiled by AI police tech; are the same ppl denied jobs housing & education by AI decisionmaking tools; etc.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

Never forget that as Elon Musk became a trillionaire today, it is estimated that 750,000 people have died as a result of his cutting of USAID. The majority of those deaths were children.

Eighteen people have died in ICE custody in the first five months of this year. ICE is on pace to pass last year’s toll, which was already the highest in two decades. So what is ICE doing about it? It is making the deaths harder to count.

Rescuers searched ruined buildings in the southern Philippines on Tuesday to ensure no one was still trapped a day after one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the country in a half-century killed at least 37 people and displaced over 20,000.

Protect libraries and librarians at all costs

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

I love New Yorkers. #NBA #Knicks

Systems like Palantir don't just watch us; they convert our freedom into spreadsheets. Every choice, movement, & connection is harvested as human capital, & sold back to states & plutocrats as “insight.” The result is politics where people aren't citizens to listen to, but human capital for profit.

The headlines may have moved on but DC (and other targeted cities) are *still* under military occupation. Local residents are *still* being terrorized by the military that they pay for. And DC residents *still* do not have a voting member of Congress because it does not have statehood

Fuck AI

Tragically, this includes children

Peabo Bryson, the iconic singer-songwriter behind the Oscar-winning Disney songs "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World," has died at 75 www.tmz.com/2026/06/02/p...

Clarence B. Jones, lawyer and speechwriter who drafted part of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's “I Have a Dream” speech, has died. He was 95.

As Americans stew over the looming risk of job-stealing AI and data centers in their back yards, the feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat, documents obtained by WIRED show. www.wired.com/story/us-law...

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Call me problematic but I think we should absolutely judge Black 5-Star athletes that choose to take NIL contracts and play in the SEC. They can make life-changing money from other schools but choose to profit from the oppression of their own people. You're Clarence Thomas on a field imho

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

That man is about to cut Medicaid for 15 million low-income families at the same time as he's making violent insurrectionists millionaires. There's a special place in hell for this kind of evil

Years ago Scalia provoked gasps in the gallery when he called the Voting Rights Act a “racial entitlement.” But turning American democracy back into a white racial entitlement, as it was for most of American history, is exactly what the Roberts Court is doing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

The John Crow redistricting sessions taking place across the South are, in no uncertain terms, political lynchings. Mississippi lawmakers are headed back to the building where they seceded from the Union to eliminate the seat of the only Black federal representative in a state that's 40% Black

AI human experimentation should be banned

SCOTUS is basically the R&D unit of American racism. When one OS becomes outdated they go back to the lab & engineer an update. These rulings are just low-budget, bureaucratic product launches. Think of Callais & Plessy like MacOS Big Sur & Tahoe. The goal isn't justice, it's systems maintenance

#fuckai #aiisfascist

Either you're free or you're a slave. It's that simple. Racist lawmakers in the South are passing new laws that treat Black ppl like political chattel—a legal underclass that inflates white political power & eliminates Black representation in Congress. If this isn't your primary concern, you're lost

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

LeBron had a lot to say about Memphis hotels but ain't got shit to say about voting rights... We got all these Black billionaires and nothing to show for it except for pretty pictures at the Met and a father-son playoff series. They're literally playing games while Jim Crow Jr. laws are passed

WALTER BAILEY: “Dr. King took a bullet in the neck. They were shot. Killed. Murdered. Advancing voting rights… it’s an insult to their legacy. To their deaths.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn SenJohnson BrentTaylorTN #Memphis

On this day in 1898, Septima Poinsette Clark was born. She became a tireless advocate for education and civil rights. Martin Luther King, Jr., called her the “Mother of the Movement.” Her motto was “literacy means liberation.” #WeTheMen

REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social : “This is a power grab… they’re spitting on the graves of all that work, saying we’re going to allow Black political voices & representation to be dismantled across the South- following marching orders of the White House. We’ve gotta fight back.” @GovBillLee

this is a great piece and i'm also somewhat annoyed because it means i have to rework the piece i was writing for next week www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/o...

The next fight is not restoring the VRA. We're in a new moment that requires new approaches. Small thinking is a betrayal of radical ambition and political vision that gave us the voting rights act in the first place.

To make a very complicated ruling in Callais much simpler, just go read the Cliff Notes in Dred Scott: "Negroes have no rights that the white man is bound to respect."

"The structure whose supports our elites are steadily kicking down is also the one that props up their own personal safety from disaster and political invulnerability to accountability. And all of this can go away." me in @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

Honestly what's killing interest in the NBA are the injuries. I never remembered THIS many super stars out during the playoffs EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. They have to figure out how to slow the pace of the game & ease the wear and tear on players bc the product is almost unwatchable

When you really stop to think about it, fumbling as a basketball player is crazy

Klay Thompson joins Eric Bennett, Sean Carter, Ime Udoka & Robin Thicke on the Mt. Rushmore of goofy ass [expletives]

To put it bluntly, community advocacy is the only thing standing between Big Tech and your child. Students, educators, caregivers and advocates devoting countless hours rummaging through contracts, board minutes, and legislative records to hold the powerful accountable for AI abuses against kids

Palantir effectively declared war against the global majority. Eugenics, genocide and racial caste are clearly at the heart of its ideological project. AI and mass surveillance are merely the weapons to materialize its project against humanity
