I work in Hollywood. I represent real human beings whose voices, faces, and livelihoods are being stolen by AI companies. This thread is about how it's happening and who's fighting back. 🧵
@PorterJrBurner@cmclymer You are incorrect because the basis of your premise is incorrect and too narrow and you refuse, like most self important males, to expand your understanding beyond your own lived experience and uninformed viewpoints. You want to be right because you yell louder. Okay, Jan
@cmclymer This is true for basically everything. Systemic gender inequality is baked into our society just as systemic racism. It’s the legacy of white supremacy. We are fighting through laws and social norms meant to keep us back, keep the playing field tilted towards white men.
Let me get this straight.
The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately.
Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes.
Trump said no.
Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.
Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse.
Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks.
We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math.
Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today.
Trump is the one standing in the way.
More ICE human rights violations.
People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations.
And it gets worse.
Investigators say there are undisclosed detention sites scattered around Colorado, hidden in plain sight between strip malls and office parks.
Secret detention centers. In the United States.
@LongTimeHistory ICE is given a daily quota that they must meet by arresting enough people to keep private prisons full. They are not afraid of arresting the wrong people, as long as those people spend some time in private prisons—ICE’s goal is achieved.
Trump is a scammer

BAFTA’s didn’t expect all this backlash because it’s not enough Black folks in Britain or that space to cause problems for them. But you sent for Black Americans and we will beat a mofo horse till it’s dead behind ours. And yes I know DelRoy British but that’s our uncle on our mama side.
