This tax season, your dollars are doing the most 💸 Not for childcare. Not for healthcare. Not for the safety net or your retirement. They’re using your dollars to build undemocratic systems that track dissent, give bonuses to kidnappers, and throw immigrants into inhumane warehouses.

Move fast, break wages, bad bots do it well ❣️The algorithm catches the blame. The billionaires keep the bonus.
Landlords adore AI. After all, the math is simple:
Black-box tenant scores + unexplained rejections + higher rents = more money in their pockets.
Whether they box you out or box you in, they can always send you packing.

Against a dark background, a large brown fist holds a red, black, and green flag. Across their arm diagonally is a red, yellow, black, and green banner. In the top left and bottom right corners are the TechTonic Justice icons, and in the top left, the TechTonic Justice logo sits. On the top right, the text reads "Freedom /=/ AI"
As we build upon such radical imagination, we have to understand a key truth: there’s no AI in freedom.

It’s super personal for me. It’s an homage to and reconstruction of the lives of two people dear to me who lived through and died as a result of the AIDS epidemic: my uncle Rick + mentor Joe.

With everyone going on in the world, I want to share this and add artistry to my advocacy as part of a total effort to resist this moment of intensifying evil with my whole spirit and build towards something better! 3/
For those who don’t know, I’m a serious MC. Hip Hop was the music of my youth in the SF Bay Area + inspired me to devote my life to making a more just world. With a toddler, family obligations, and TechTonic Justice, I don’t have as much time as I’d like to make music. But, I still manage a bit. 2/
Album cover with the words “Kevin De Liban” and “The Good Fight” in handwritten-like font. There’s a red background with a bright red sun-like object filtering energy down to the ground. In the foreground, there are outlines of people, some with weapons and others with their arms up in the posture of surrender. There is plain font text that reads, “Coming January 27.”
New album coming January 27! Titled “The Good Fight,” it’s filled with tales and reflections—all in banger form—of my life as a do-gooder. Pre-saves and pre-orders at all the major outlets go live on January 6 (aka Tuesday). 1/

Talking AI tonight (Sunday) on MS NOW Primetime (formerly MSNBC) at 5:20 pacific / 8:20 eastern. Tune in and let me know what you think!
Big Tech is rapidly building out data centers to power AI—without adequate oversight, transparency, or accountability. @publiccitizen.bsky.social has released a new report revealing who truly benefits from the acceleration of AI across all sectors of society, and who is left to pay the price.⬇️
Rounding out our recap and look forward is Andrea Reyes, our senior organizing strategist, who previews a small part of what we have in store for 2026!
AI is not inevitable. As Sue Garcia Nofi, our senior attorney, explains here, we have a plan to stop powerful people from using it to decide the key aspects of our lives, like our health, work, housing, and education. Tune in to learn more!
Here's @clarenceokoh.bsky.social , our senior attorney, talking about the real-life harms that AI causes low-income people and the need for people-led action that prevents, mitigates, and repairs the damage done.
