You know important movement elders are indigent in terrible health? Not glam at all & they need community support. Dhoruba bin Wahad is a Black Panther & thinker, I read his REVOLUTION IN THESE TIMES out last year & was going to interview him for radio before he fell ill. Here’s his mutual aid call.

The reality is: If your country gets the courts to arrest and indict anti fascists before the courts work to arrest those building concentration camps and shooting citizens in the streets you are not in a democracy you’re in a fascist police state that is gearing up to kill you and your family.

Six years after Breonna Taylor’s death, America is weakening the rules that could have saved her | Jamil Smith Following Taylor’s death, the US limited no-knock warrants. But the Trump administration has quietly rescinded those limits

6 years ago, Breonna Taylor was killed in her own home during a no-knock raid. Her death led to reforms, including federal limits on no-knock warrants, tighter use-of-force standards, & stronger police accountability rules. Now the Trump DOJ has quietly erased those protections.

Remember that you are more likely to become disabled than not.

You can be disabled by illness, injury, climate disasters, war, police brutality, unmitigated pandemics, lack of access to healthcare, etc.

Disability justice is for us all, and it’s foundational to all other forms of justice.

On this year’s long covid awareness day, I want more people to read and think about what the late Shafiqah Hudson said before it killed her. Because she was right, as usual, and also early, as usual. Perhaps too early for a lot of people to listen.

Was just lamenting with my friend yesterday about how tiring it is being around [neurotypical] people.

So easy to burn out from all the peopling some of us are expected to do in a regular day.

Watching white people wake up real time to how many people around them have learned that they don’t have to do the work, just look like they do and are rewarded for it….

casual reminder: be kind to makers, artists and crafts people.
we set our prices to survive, rarely make above ends meet + our side hustles are just that.

very few of us get to just "make" to survive.

I always chuckle at the people who are apparently diehard AI fans but cannot distinguish between genAI and the machine learning that preceded it.

Is all machine learning bad? No. Is genAI hugely problematic? Absolutely.

But that’s too nuanced for them.

Ford's call for injunction against Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto is totally unprecedented.

Policing is, ofc, always exercise of policing power. But for provincial govt to seek injunction to shut down gathering before its even begun is wild.

Liberal democracies are a sham. Palestine will be free.

Lawyer behind AI psychosis cases warns of mass casualty risks | TechCrunch AI chatbots have been linked to suicides for years. Now one lawyer says they are showing up in mass casualty cases too, and the technology is moving faster than the safeguards.

So where the fuck is the AFL? Where are the other unions & why aren't they backing teachers up? This doesn't stop with education: it's solidarity now or death by papercuts for everyone. It's been FORTY FUCKING YEARS, at what point do we decide enough is enough?!?

Welp. Given what we have seen so far from this present government, I'm more inclined to believe the latter.

Also, not a lawyer, so maybe one will chime in with an interpretation?
