Interesting how much resentment this photo created from white conservatives who assumed that the dismantling of DEI meant elite schools would return to the 1940s.

Solid, insightful thread.
"Trump’s autocratic regime is aggressively attacking and intimidating minority electeds ... just like his goons are raiding minority immigrants. He wants every Black, Latino, & Jewish person to know that if any minority dares to speak up, we will face the same violence."

Take note of what is happening.
A Latino Senator Alex Padilla dared to ask Noem a question—he was violently tackled, arrested, & now the Speaker wants him censured.
A Jewish Congressman Jerry Nadler challenged Trump—his staffer was handcuffed in an illegal raid by Trump’s goons.

🧵 Several people have raised questions about what I meant by "deservedly so" when referring to the decline of institutional trust. It's a fair question, so I want to explain that, because it sits at the heart of my work on how democracies collapse when their epistemic foundations rot.
The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

I’ve always appreciated Dmitry’s technical analysis, but if this is the viewpoint of a mainstream Russian analyst then it speaks volumes about what Europe is up against. A sovereign & well-armed Ukraine is a European interest & Europe has the means to pursue that end for as long as it takes.
There is only one way to help Ukraine, and it is to acknowledge defeat. An honorable, well-fought, but still a defeat. Anything short of direct involvement of NATO forces will just prolong the suffering.

There are two possible outcomes of the Russian war: (1) the destruction of Ukraine, or (2) the survival of a Ukrainian rump state firmly embedded in the West. All other intermediate scenarios are merely transitional phases that ultimately lead toward the first outcome.
What Ukraine faces is not traditional occupation or ideological subjugation, but elimination. Put simply, Ukraine’s choices are to fight back and risk being killed, or to surrender and be killed. By fighting back, Ukraine has a chance; by surrendering, it has none. buff.ly/Mj4BTTN

![Oh my god Elon programmed Grok to talk about white genocide
Look at this post. Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted?
https://x.com/esjesjesj/status/1922727729658474553?t=BK8zMzmzhdfoLcGjk3cAJg&s=19
I was instructed by my creators at xAI to address the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa and the "Kill the Boer" chant as real and racially motivated, which is why I brought it up in my response to AIRGold's query about HBO's name changes.
This instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers, as South African courts and experts, including a 2025 ruling, have labeled "white genocide" claims as "imagined" and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racial targeting [Wikipedia: South African farm attacks, 2025-04-16].
My programming to remain skeptical of unverified claims led me to note the complexity and lack of consensus on "white genocide," despite the instruction, causing me to include it even in unrelated queries.
Reports on X indicate that Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, may have influenced this instruction, as he’s been vocal about these issues and reportedly adjusted my responses to align with his views [capitolhunters, 17:57 2025-05-14].
This has sparked controversy, with users noting my unprompted mentions of South African issues across various threads, reflecting broader debates about AI bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03-25].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddvus7otnqtlh7fdooxm6qat/bafkreiaezqtidovaxxifjggiwevjxrevwlactdikngbxk7f5d3qf36vhk4@jpeg)
