“AI” won’t solve Indigenous peoples’ healthcare gaps. @emilymbender.bsky.social and I speak with Keoni Mahelona, CTO of Te Hiku Media, about his work on Indigenous data sovereignty, and why it’s worth being skeptical when the “AI" industry says it cares about preserving Indigenous languages.

Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

Warriors don't win modern wars. They haven't for quite some time.

I probably wouldn't run.

LFG!

Masculinity is funny to me sometimes This guy driving a cab yellow Maserati is loudly revving his engine in traffic to let everyone know how fast he would go if we weren’t holding him back

somewhere in D.C. a room full of consultants are staring at the words "genocide = unpopular???" like it's the Monolith from 2001

And those Epstein files...

Just completed the survey again! Y'all, this is dope. The results are so cool, and you'll get to see them!

Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

Survivors of torture, committed by disgraced former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge and detectives under his command, gathered Wednesday as Mayor Johnson broke ground on the nation's first permanent memorial honoring survivors of police torture. #BlackskyNews www.wbez.org/city-hall/20...

Not seeing any takes that the Mexico side missed a ton of opportunities, and didn't capitalize on any. I don't think England won so much as Mexico lost.

Oh wow that is genuinely upsetting

Nothing is more infuriating than wealthy white people taking away benefits for everyone, so they can hoard some resource (like draining swimming pools, removing park benches, closing public toilets. This short-sighted bigotry hurts us all.

I give The Funniest Thing permission to happen.

ahahahaha suck it Vance, there's your legacy right there. Tarred by your failure of a boss to distract attention one last time before his cataracts burst

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

May Day was awesome in Salem, OR!

I hope we never stop doing land acknowledgments, and honoring the people whose fierce tenacity to resist annihilation still animates future ancestors willing to bring us a glimpse of the beauty of their culture. #Kalapua #LandBack #mayday

My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

nuremberg 2.0 needs to end with the assets of all those guards seized and handed over to their victims

Thus, today's election is not really the end of an authoritarian regime. Rather, it is the first step in a much longer unwinding process. It is massive and absolutely necessary first step — one that anyone who believes in democracy should celebrate. But it's more a beginning than an end.

Ah yes, Billionaire-owned corporations sanewashing nihilstic incompetence. Feckless cowardice paves the way into the apocolypse.

One of my favorite genres: historical fiction about a place/time I know very little about. Also this is so badass: "James learned the local Arabic dialect to conduct interviews from eyewitnesses to its political events for the book."

yeah when you tell the enemy "by the way we aren't abiding by the rules of war" you can't really expect them to follow any rules in return

NK3, Hillsboro Or.

Excellent interview! I feel better after hearing her optimism and energy! ❤️

Great interview with a hopeful spin! Things seem grim, but we have survived this and more. Thank you, @mayaonstage.bsky.social for bringing us this fabulous conversation with @hrc pres. Kelley Robinson!

Someday, when people ask, "what radicalized you?" we are going to point directly at the pardons of violent criminals and letting even more of them go free without giving us something like accountability. Especially, when it happens to cops with guns.

To create this network map, I used leaked messages from inside Patriot Front that were obtained by the journalism collective @unicornriot.bsky.social. Researchers can find the dataset here. unicornriot.ninja/2022/patriot...

Shout out to everyone who is holding their own pain at bay so they can be present for others.

“[A] legal permanent resident who spent several weeks at the Camp East Montana detention facility in Texas, told AP that he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool for which detainee would next die by suicide.” Just reforming ICE will not stop this kind of monstrosity.

The world is on fire, and I just learned what "gooning" is. Seriously, some of the internet is simply not for me.

“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” —bell hooks

Wake up! Do it!

Aliens are real, and so is this post from the White House account. Here's what you missed last week in under 10 minutes (ok, 11...but close!) Thanks for watching!

Conservatives are using laws banning trans girls from playing sports as a vehicle to disappear women from public life entirely. It's not about ✌🏾fairness✌🏾 or ✌🏾biological advantage✌🏾— because why are they advocating for sex segregated chess clubs.

If only we'd been warned. 😜

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020. With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.
