as always it's very telling who gets to be a kid just making mistakes (25-35 year old Republican operatives praising Hitler) and who is a full fledged adult who must face the lifelong consequences of their decisions (Black teenagers, college students protesting genocide)

Greta Thunberg was beaten and tortured by the Israelis. They learned how to call her a whore in Swedish, and forced her to wear the Israeli flag.

The Swedish foreign ministry abandoned its citizens in Israel, and downplayed what they went through.

www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Beating, kicking, and threats of being
gassed in cages. Greta Thunberg and several others from the flotilla are now sharing details about their five days in Israeli captivity - and how Swedish Foreign Ministry staff left
them without help. Aftonbladet's investigation shows how the Foreign Ministry downplayed the
abuse in its communications. Her red suitcase lies in the hall. "Whore Greta"
someone has written in large black letters. Around the text: an Israeli flag and an erect
penis. The bag was confiscated by the Israeli military from the boat - and returned to her like this. She
laughs.
- They're like five-year-olds!

- They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.
Greta laughs.
- Then they ripped off my frog hat, threw it on the ground, stomped and kicked it, and kind of threw a tantrum.
- They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. 'A special place for a special lady', they said. And then they had learned 'Lilla hora' (Little whore) and 'Hora Greta' (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

it's a propaganda machine that generates disinformation! it's a mass surveillance tool! create fake people online to stoke hatred towards whoever you wish to scapegoat! let's keep cornering people into the most ad-friendly, controlled platforms that we can! like it's very much That.

i do understand the sentiment that this ai boom"couldn't have come at a worse time" given the way we're going politically, but i think if you're still assuming it's all a bad coincidence, you gotta realize that the US went so hard on ai so it can do the fascist shit faster and more efficiently.
