I sat down with @aljazeera.com to talk about my firing from the Washington Post, being the last Black staff columnist left at the Post.
And how I believe the right is not just engaging in “cancel culture”, but “annihilation culture”.

This is part of the reason I started @resistanceschool.bsky.social .. not only to get around the political repression around teaching about race.
But also to be free of AI colonization.

We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Thanks so much for your reporting on this, Ben. I just got an email from my campus's IT office triumphantly advertising free student access to four different AI models -- at the same time as we have a hiring freeze, caps on grad enrollment, and a 7% budget cut -- and wanted to scream.
