Initial findings show NY’ers were profiled based on language, ethnicity, attire + speech, fuelling racial injustice by the police.

These findings reinforce what our previous research has consistently shown to be a disregard for the safety of Black and Brown communities by the NYPD.

Face rec is deployed along racial logics. Don’t want to read another haphazard study of how accurate the tech is; AI-driven policing is spatially and selectively configured to impart racial violence and selectively revoked to protect accomplices

As the great Ruth Wilson Gilmore said last week:
“There are so many dimensions to the problems that we face; and that means we have nothing but opportunities for organising; every opportunity involves contradiction, and every contradiction is an invitation to organise”

This week, Mizue, Coline and I launched our edited volume, Resisting Borders+Tech, with @haymarketbooks.bsky.social. The book works towards developing a common vernacular across various traditions of abolitionist activism and resistance, channelling these towards the same root force…

Head to Inquest 4 @ruha9.bsky.social’s stunning piece for Resisting Borders+Tech

“these advancements scale colonial efforts of times past to enclose and condemn communities to a life of performing free labor and generating value or capital”
