oh wow sylvia wynter names henry louis gates as the vanguard of the move to establish black studies in the liberal humanist context at the expense of the black aesthetic movement of the 60s/70s, and in favor of a new mainstream bourgeois aesthetics

voting is a political tool. the problem
is, the vast majority of us think voting is our ONLY political tool & that’s where we lose power. the most radical changes to this country didn’t happen in a voting booth. vote, sure. but our political engagement cannot end there, it can’t.

No rehabilitation of tech fascists
People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

Let’s be so clear. Angie Nixon lost because establishment Democrats & the DNC systemically failed to support her campaign in meaningful ways. This was not by accident, it was extremely purposeful & they do this constantly with Black politicians who have a spine for Palestine

One of the most effective ways to keep people from questioning an unjust system is to convince them that their ability to survive it makes them morally superior to those who can't.

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s."

The real core issue of this is that people don’t see racism or anti-blackness as violence, they think it is confined to words and maybe a little bit of behavior, but not systemic, institutional, environmental interpersonal physical, emotional, psychological or sexual violence.

So abortion is bad but a cop can shoot and kill a one year old baby named Kohen Wiley because his mother was suspected of shoplifting diapers. She did not by the way. Where is the pro-life outrage? I’ll wait…forever.

The Police Data Archive obtained 10 years of records of police shootings investigations in Mississippi. We’re publishing it here for activists, journalists and communities interested in transparency and change: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
Mississippi's attorney general says a Senatobia police officer was justified in the June shooting death of a 1-year-old boy while responding to a shoplifting call. The conclusion of the state's investigation follows months of mourning and calls for justice. cnn.it/4z0O5X6

"Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble."

Atlanta is a great example of how Black faces in high places won’t save us. Nor will a wealthy Black elite. Atlanta has the worst income inequality and highest eviction rates in the United States. ‘Black capitalism’ is still capitalism.

The people in power want you to be stupid, empty serfs whose lives are measured only in terms of economic output. There is no public good, only the bottom line
Final moments before the Academy of Natural Sciences Museum in Philadelphia closes for good after 150 years at this location. Sad☹️
