During my lifetime, the American conservative agenda has been preoccupied with expanding violence in schools—and normalizing violence against children more broadly.

School shootings, campus sexual violence, bathrooms bans, ICE raids, and now bombing a girls’ school in Iran.

Glad Anthropic stood up against the regime for now!

But seeing so many politicians and media folk getting ahead of themselves claiming Anthropic as overall good and responsible is concerning 😭

They knowingly stole the works of almost every creative, to power their models per court documents.

If you don’t see how his response was also racist, idk what to tell you. 😭

As an Arab Muslim, I don’t care for any form of the Republican Party. But I do concede the point that microaggressions are preferable to macroaggressions.

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

Political Scientists would call it a "tactical concession" (RRS' Spiral Model). Human rights and democracy campaigners need to make sure it leads to more gains (positive spiral) instead of stalling progress (negative spiral).

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
