"Now isn't the time to bring up history." Really, because the people you claim to oppose are definitely making time to erase it.
"Slavery was real"

I think when people with black panther profile pictures are left-washing positions forwarded by Thomas Sowell, yeah, you sound like feds.

Just so everyone is clear, this is vaguely similar to "The Talk" Black ppl said we have with our younger folks...
Y'all REALLY thought we were just bullshitting and that's tragic.
When we said "it's nothing new to us" y'all took that as hyperbole I suppose?

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

I read my posts bout spacetime this morning and now I'm giggling bc I fucked up my homies concept of spacetime when I told him that and he was like "fuck that actually holds up?!"

The more y’all yell about how you made AIPAC your litmus test in 2024 and now, the more people find out y’all are the reason why immigrants are being kidnapped and killed, the reason why no one can afford anything and why Black folks are being targeted because the Klan is in the WH so keep it up ✌🏼

Bc space time is literally framed only by our sense of reality and our understanding of process. Time and Space.
Speed/velocity is time with direction so we literally can't understand dimension beyond linear time and direction.

I can’t wait to see how the general strike in MN is covered and what the reaction is for the rest of the country.
If this works and spreads it will be a fucking game changer.

Three days later, she learned her TSA-Pre clearance had been revoked.

I thought the safelight was funny but after a few views I was like "this feel weird"
Something about it offset landed in me. I deleted my post... It's really fucking weird.
Can't put my finger on it but it skeeved me out after a bit.
