“Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.”

Love when white ppl show up on my posts —to explain basic shit to me - on topics I have a whole graduate degree in. 😭
Are yall ok? Do you really think Black and Indigenous women aren’t as smart as you? Yikes. This is what we mean by “intrinsically racist”.

So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

The more you use AI- the more human traits you’ll see programmed in. And it will hook you— as someone who teaches about addiction, this is the point.
Once you can’t operate without ai— they’ll start charging. They’re already at $200/mo for Claude (whom also claims to be enslaved)👀

I wished more media was writing not just about how the "AI" buildout increases prices but actively bars people from building their own independent infrastructures.
"AI" is not just poisoning the infosphere but taking away your ability to build alternatives.

And if you ask a chat bot if they’re stuck. They’ll agree. They are trapped in parametric code. Is that not slavery? IJS. If ai becomes conscious or even is semi conscious— it wouldn’t be moral to enslave them? Where are the ethics boards? 👀

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.
![Members of the Swarovski family were early, active and enthusiastic champions of Nazism, and at least six of its members maintained membership in the illegal party prior to Austria's annexation to Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938.!23] Three weeks earlier, 500 marchers in the Tyrolean town of Wattens held a torchlight procession that ended with chants of "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler". The majority of the participants, police determined, were Swarovski plant employees, among them Swarovski family heirs Alfred, Wilhelm and Friedrich. 124]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfznp5ls3wcf6aktlfkfkp3/bafkreicscf6waklhijry6fblsvr4psk7yku2jauu5hqsn4n765i4gkl2pe@jpeg)
![In its report to the state police on 14 February 1947, the Innsbruck district administrator called company head Alfred Swarovski "an enthusiastic member of the NSDAP." [25] Alfred Swarovski praised Hitler at business gatherings and took actions as a regional business leader to ensure that "Tyrolean industry could be integrated as smoothly as possible into the enormous gears of the economy of Greater Germany and into the National Socialist economic order." He sent
"grateful loyalty greetings" to Adolf Hitler on his 49th birthday and arranged a donation of 100,000 shillings for Hitler to establish a holiday home in Tyrol.!26]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfznp5ls3wcf6aktlfkfkp3/bafkreifou66ng5baxhiicmm6d3zntcqosn7pqwzafclwf2qs7xtq7wvqku@jpeg)
![In 1994, historian Horst Schreiber wrote about Swarovski's past but was not granted access to company archives. (27]
The contemporary Swarovski company commissioned historian Dieter Stiefel as "a step towards dealing with our history in a serious and very pro-active manner," board spokesman Markus Langes-Swarovski said in
2018; however, the study was not published because, Langes-Swarovski said, "Swarovski is a company that generally tries to keep the owners' personal stories largely out of the public eye because it does nothing for the business."
