I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

This is such an incredible take on how AI is affecting (and will affect) the music industry from producer Diazno on the ConTejas Podcast: elevator music can be replaced by AI, but human experiences can't (yet?) Full episode in reply.

I'm very fortunate that when I was young and knew everything, social media didn't exist the way it does now, so a lot of my blustering and bad ideas floated off into the ether. Eternally grateful for that.

Another win by Pedro Sanchez. Social media is not a safe place for children. It's crawling with all types of predators - nihilistic and political extremists, sexual predators, criminals, etc. “Social media has become a failed state, a place where laws are ignored, and crime is endured.”

It's not global. Just 10yrs ago they were talking about overpopulation in Black and Brown countries. BIPOC who echo these talking points spend a lot of time around white men and uncritically internalize their fears. It makes no sense for POC to carry white grief of losing dominance over us.

Black-owned businesses continue to grow, but access to capital remains a major barrier. Here’s what’s holding Black entrepreneurs back and how funding pathways can open. buff.ly/siTYG0C #BlackOwnedBusiness #AccessToCapital

#OtD 3 Feb 1929 the American Negro Labor Congress took place in Philadelphia. The group was founded by Lovett Fort-Whiteman. One of those who addressed the crowd was Black @IWW activist Ben Fletcher. Learn more in our podcast about him: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e73-...

Homelessness is a policy choice. Suffering is a policy choice. Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head, food on their table and healthcare. When basic needs are met health and happiness improve. We could easily provide for everyone… those in power don’t want to.

It's been a strong first month!

Conditions for the working class in India are so dire that exploitation by western corporations looks like liberation.

A 'revolution' for whom? What happens with this entire industry folds? What happens when data centres swallow more and more rural land in India and help boil the country so the working class suffers the most?

Moltbook is a social media platform where AI bots generate posts, comments and engage with each other while humans get to observe them socialize.

Immigrant families held at a Texas ICE jail are languishing in horrific conditions, says attorney Eric Lee, who has clients inside. He says that while Democrats now deplore abuses under Trump, they are "equally responsible as Trump for creating the infrastructure of mass family and adult detention."

Sean Grayson, the former sheriff’s deputy convicted of second-degree murder for the 2024 death of Sonya Massey — a Black mother of two who was experiencing a mental health crisis and was unarmed at the time of her fatal shooting — has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Democratic Party theory of politics:

Imperialism definition: The system of economic, political, and military power through which rich countries maintain dominance over poor countries. As a result, imperialism maintains and perpetuates the racialized global hierarchies created by colonialism.

Neuromancer?

Fascism is colonialism turned inward. We're witnessing ICE executing an ethnic cleansing in real time.

Separation of Church and State is less about the devaluation of faith, and more about appropriate division of labor and interdisciplinary boundaries. Religions (or Spiritual practices) don't serve the same functions as political parties, governments or laws. They're not social management systems

The systemic violence didn't end, it just evolved.

Fuck, man. We're witnessing a mass ethnic cleansing in real time. From Gaza to ICE death squads. Its all so shocking and traumatic. Not just personally traumatic but generationally.

350,000 Haitians losing their status on Tuesday. They've been manufacturing consent for this since Trump 1.0.

Happy Black History Month 🙌🏿 Happy Black Futures Month ✨️🚀

Valuable information

One of the dark sides of his legacy...

universal basic income would literally save lives. why are we still pretending poverty is a personal failing instead of a policy choice?

Judith Butler warns world is ‘witnessing the restoration of patriarchy and racism’.

💯

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency," the judge wrote. "And the rule of law be damned."

A beautiful legacy. RIP ✨️

An achievable alternative to the "Free Market"? I believe this is an economic policy regime compatible with Social Democratic governance. Its not "Free Market Capitalism". It's not Centralized State Planning. Not utopian by any stretch - but way better than where we are today. A next step?

Utterly revolting

"In the spring of 1973, Michael Harrington called on members of the new Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, which he chaired, to build “the left wing of realism.” Over time, he replaced “realism” with “the possible,” but the sensibility endured."

"A Social Democrat is a Socialist who learned how to compromise with reality." -- unknown

What I post from:

This is a crazy ass story about how these new AI bf/gf/sexbots aren't actually AI, but people (mostly African men) working in the slums of Nairobi taking shifts pretending to be AI girlfriends for Western tech companies.

Are you good at self-trust without external validation?

Don't sleep on Tubi lol

This new Diddy documentary is tough to watch. He was a monster from day one. The Joi Dickerson-Neal story was truly psychopathic behavior.
