The narrative of the denialism frame is that those opposing "AI" are afraid, under-informed and/or engaging in wishful thinking. None of that is true: The people who oppose the "AI" project are actively fighting and refusing to accept the premise of tech bros and AI boosters.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

The wording of “top-down” ideological bias is apt here…”top-down” bias is put in place to balance “bottom-up” bias.
E.g., If something coming up from the bottom leans to the left, you lean it to the right at the top to make it straight.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

While L.A. activists accuse the home improvement retailer of being complicit in immigration raids at its stores, a nationwide boycott is being called to “stop funding the systems that don’t serve us,” and focus on small independent vendors instead.

1. Are there any Muslims in this building?
2. Is anyone here from <expletive for Dalit person>?
