On photography and human pigment, thus, on race. Similar to the problems with A.I. and facial recognition, today.
“They didn’t build cameras that ‘couldn’t see Black people,’ they built cameras that didn’t need to.”

Will someone release the video so we can shut down these disgusting excuses?
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

You don’t just shoot up the enemy if they’re defenseless and not capable of doing anything.
We need a full investigation for war crimes.

the fossil fuel bribe that just keeps on giving to the rich….taking from the poor.
Donald Trump is handing his Big Oil campaign donors even more opportunities to screw over Americans at the pump and poison our air.
Strong fuel economy standards save Californians money and protect our health, and we'll fight tooth and nail to defend them.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
