So they banned Chinese electric vehicles in USA
But they allowed Waymo to import them and use their cheaper electric cars for an exorbitant taxi service meanwhile the Americans don’t get to buy cheaper electric vehicles

Peak capitalism

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

In 1887, Black sugar workers in Louisiana went on strike. Their demand: about $1.25 a day, paid in MONEY, instead of company scrip.

The answer was a massacre.

Ten thousand workers, organized with the Knights of Labor, walked out of the cane fields at harvest. Planters called in the state militia. Then, when the militia withdrew, armed white vigilantes sealed off the town of Thibodaux and went door to door through the Black quarter.

At least thirty-five men, women, and youths were killed; credible estimates run far higher, into the uncounted.

Strike leaders were singled out and executed. Survivors fled to the swamps.

Prosecutions: none. Ever. Black workers were murdered for demanding to be paid fairly—and no one was ever held accountable.

And it wasn't an isolated case. Our book documents up to 150 cases of racial violence, massacres, and injustices that were never truly answered for https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

@blackJournals01 Black people carry generational violent trauma that new Americans simply do not understand or refuse to understand.

Good morning. Your government is providing resources to Israel but not to Puerto Rico…

A neighbourhood in Brooklyn that has been Black since the 1800s has gone from 75% Black to 40% in twenty years.
Not because people moved. Because their houses were taken with paperwork.

Billie Holiday sang a song about strange fruit hanging from trees and racist white people lost their minds. Not because Black people were being lynched. But because she told the world about it. And the same thing is happening today. Take Nolan Wells for example.

This paper gives a fancy name to a problem you can already feel in your bones

"The Tragedy of the Cognitive Commons." Checking AI output requires deep expertise. Deep expertise comes from doing grunt work for years. And grunt work is the first thing AI eats

So we're building systems that need expert supervision while dismantling the only known process for making experts

The paper calls the shared pool of human expertise the "cognitive commons." Every profession drinks from it. Nobody's refilling it.

By eliminating junior roles, each company is acting totally rationally, and the collective result: a profession that can't catch AI's mistakes anymore because it never learned to do the work in the first place

Who checks AI's homework in 15 years?

only half a mil in exchange for 40 fucking stolen years of your life and they don’t even want to give it to you

Stolen land does not become morally legitimate because settlers wrote laws protecting the theft.

As we continue to make waves for Nolan Wells, don't forget Karmelo Anthony. He still has his whole life ahead of him, and should be FREE to live it. His next court date is August 19th, which would have been Nolan's 19th birthday.

White people made Jesus white. Never underestimate how far they’ll go to promote a lie.

They told Vietnam it had no right to shoot down American planes.

The planes were there to bomb Vietnamese villages. But the shooting down of the planes was the aggression. The bombing was the order. The anti-aircraft gun was the escalation.

They told Korea it had no right to fight back when the bombing began.

They told Iraq it had no right to Scud missiles.

They told Iran it has no right to a nuclear program.

They told Libya to give up its weapons program. And Gaddafi, fatally, believed the guarantee that followed.

Do you see the pattern?

The demand is always: disarm. Trust us. Accept your vulnerability. Our restraint is your only protection.

And the record of what happens to countries that accept that offer is written in the ruins of every country that accepted that offer.

The empire's promise of protection is only extended to countries that remain permanently unable to make protection unnecessary.

Because a country that protects itself doesn't need the empire.

And a country that doesn't need the empire cannot be managed by it.

The demand to disarm is never about safety.

It is about access.

An anonymous complaint led to a ‘misconduct’ investigation into Nolan Wells’ mother, Christine Wells Wonsley. Today, that case was closed. A grieving mother should never be targeted for seeking answers about her child.

The famous “I don’t have a dream” speech

[Bryce Greene @TheGreeneBJ]

Standard histories completely ignore the role of the USSR in the gains we achieved during the civil rights movement.

One reason why elites were motivated to address Jim Crow was that the Soviets were getting easy propaganda layups because America was so overtly racist.
