I'm Black and I'm Latin. Connected to and disconnected from both in many ways. I just want to know where I'm from, but historical white destruction has made that so damn difficult. I just needed a quick shout into the void. Be safe, cousins.

In case you don't have time to watch, though I highly recommend it: Minstrel shows, music, and cartoons were an accepted caricature of Black existence, and his behaviors are echo that caricature of Blackness. I had to unlearn it as a kid.

Absolutely. @foreignman242.bsky.social said this in his essay on IShowSpeed last week and talked about the how minstrelsy has been normalized American entertainment. I'm still ashamed that Smokey Robinson remembers Amos and Andy fondly...like, UNC WHAT?!

Who could’ve predicted this, other than every single critical data studies scholar, who’ve been highlighting data bias issues for years and years?
Given this previous knowledge, it’s criminal that this technology has been deployed at scale. A triumph of willful ignorance and wishful thinking.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today.

I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

outside the detention/“processing” facility in broadview, illinois:

a crowd of protesters, some of whom showed up before 5 am, is heckling ice agents arriving to work.

a few minutes ago, special response team agents came out to push protesters away from the driveway. pepper balls already flying.
