A right hand on a rainbow-backlit keyboard with a manicure: orange and gold base with alternating white and black stamping featuring different ghosts, jack o lanterns, and bats for Halloween.

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy.

And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

Steph Curry is 6’3.

He plays in the NBA where LeBron is 6’9, Kevin Durant is 7’0, and Victor Wembanyama is 7’3.

Is that fair? No. But fairness in sports is a silly idea. There’s always someone faster & stronger.

This is why your debates about fairness in sports is only about hurting trans people.

Hi.

If you see criticism of eugenics as “hatred of white people”, it is because you are a white supremacist.

Here’s my question, though.

How can a system as dependent on stealing other people’s culture to sustain itself as whiteness is genuinely call itself supreme? You’re not even original.

I'm late getting to this, but this is very big news: A Colombian court last week sentenced seven former Chiquita executives to more than 11 years in prison for financing paramilitary groups.

Condenan a exdirectivos de Chiquita Brands por nexos con paramilitares: esta es la pena que pagarán

We, too, are complicit in every starving human, every coastal city drowned by the ravages of climate chaos, every person newly diagnosed with LC related immune deficiency. But we can decide to, with every action and word from now on, say a sacred no the death machine.

We can repent and do better.

There are so many worse things than having been in error. And we were all miseducated by CNN and schools and colleges and parents and the culture itself about what was really happening in this country. We all were mistaken, and we all need to start with the humility of "my bad, I had that SO wrong!"

I PROMISE you it is better for your activist flyer or pamphlet or website to have bad art, rather than AI art.

People correctly see the usage of AI generated art or text as a betrayal of the laborers who the owners of this technology seek to replace.

Are you for the bosses or the workers?

Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨 @ciaraioch.bsky.social · Jul 30

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

You think that anything to the left of liberalism is utopian or wildly radical because that's what they wanted you to think. That's what they taught you after systematically eradicating socialists, anarchists, Communists, etc from any access to power or even public voice. Until the internet.

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas, North Carolina & Ohio.

CDC aren’t permitted to update the public & people are not being advised of the risk or told to mask.

There’s evidence that COVID causes immune system damage which could lead TB to reactivate.

A respirator prevents both Covid & TB. Mask up!

North Carolina tuberculosis cases are on the rise for the first time in decades

Cases of the world’s deadliest infectious disease have been increasing in the U.S. in recent years

Please hear this:

It. Doesn't. Matter. Anymore. What. Is. Legal. For. Them. To. Do.

They have control of the highest law in the land. They are the law. These appeals to legal process are begging the question, intellectually speaking.
