Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

I just realized that I didn’t drink my coffee this morning, which is why I’ve been dragging all day.
But now it’s 2pm and it might keep me up. Small dilemmas!

“…the banning of books, magazines, newspapers and music, the outlawing of the freedom to read and write and listen, the censoring of educational materials while criminalizing educators and librarians, and repressing speech — have roots in the anti-literacy laws of colonial slaveholding America.”
Opinion | My brother isn’t permitted to read his own story. That’s a remnant of slavery.
Prisons censor what inmates can read, a throwback to when it was a crime to teach enslaved people to read.

Love to have the thing that many use to exchange payment information just give all the data to train AI, so that when someone puts in publicly-accessible routing numbers and asks what are possibilities that come next, the AI gives the account numbers in response.
DocuSign now says they'll be using your data* to train AI. *Anonymized. But that's not really a thing.

I also just want to emphasize how much Chinese fans were screwed over by this whole process, and how all the evidence available so far suggests that the censorship was coming from inside the house, that is, from the Western administrators and staff. /1
For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards.
Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3

Once again noting that if this is what happens to a cis girl accused of being trans, imagine what happens to a girl that is actually trans
A Utah high school athlete needs police protection after a state school board member publicly singled out and suggested the student was transgender, followed by threats from her followers on social media
Utah school board member Natalie Cline questions high school athlete’s gender, causing social media uproar
A Utah school board member started a social media firestorm when she publicly accused a high school athlete of being transgender with no evidence. She later apologized — but not before many commenters personally attacked the player, and the lawmaker who wrote the state’s anti-transgender athlete bill also weighed in possibly in violation of her own measure.

You know I’d be less salty about the AI situation if these tech grifters didn’t just just spend the last year ruining every creative industry and putting thousands of artists and writers out of work.
It’s going to take years to undo all of this damage.
