Not just resisting, but leading the fight: five women who refuse to be ignored
Glad to see this is being recognized by even more institutions. Every scholar and professor who protected Israel, who tried to criminalize and harass the encampments, is criminally complicit in this.

NEW — Organizers are hitting the streets for Labor Day to resist President Trump and the rise of fascism. “As Trump threatens to send federal troops into our city, we know we need the broadest possible unity and all forces who oppose Trump to take to the streets.” thetriibe.com/2025/08/chic...
This really is the original sin of the current era of AI. They work precisely because humans react to human imitators in the same ways we evolved to respond to one another.
The fact that this in turn necessitates a form of digital piecework of content moderation by masses of underpaid humans viewing and reviewing violent and hateful media as part of rendering social media into an acceptably “safe” machine is part of the horror evinced by the whole thing

Before that, Trump and Kushner killed us with Covid while confiscating & racketeering medical supplies from hospitals & fire departments; profiteering; & leveraging supplies in return for political loyalty. @nytimes.com should remember when NY became WORLD epicenter for Covid by April 2020:
It is crimes against humanity to block or withhold medical care to kill part of a population. It started in anticipation of RFK, after Trump was declared potus last November. Louisiana became the epicenter of worst flu season in US since universal flu vaccination started:

Highly recommend following Dr @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, scholar on authoritarianism, who has been predicting the destructiveness to US and our people since before his 1st term. She says the AI/tech oligarchs will be/are probably even more dangerous. Great overview:
By early 2023, US had 245,000 Covid orphans who lost one or both parents. US has forgotten them, and stopped counting. 💔 #CrimesAgainstHumanity

They are committing crimes against humanity, trying to kill part of the population by withholding healthcare & sabotaging public health, like during 2020 Covid. 40% of Covid deaths in 2020 under Trump could have been avoided. US had 245,000 Covid orphans by 2023, more now.
Our children may become more susceptible or be forced to use AI chatbots since two of largest teachers' unions are partnering with these companies for an AI academy for teachers. It can be used for propaganda (as we saw w Grok) or monitoring. Govt can potentially keep files on students' ideas.
AI companies are constantly trying to deceive the public of its env & climate impacts. Each day we learn new info on how harmful AI is on ecosystems. This will only get worse as AI firms create partnerships w/ fossil fuel companies. Keep hammering this angle (along w/ the many social & econ harms)

Excellent Q&A from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. Democrats should avoid language of secession, which plays into the hands of this administration. "Right-wing racists long ago established dominance in electoral politics in ['red states'] and it is harder than ever to undo." Don't abandon the people.
"Fury rooted in compassion is a good thing. Keep demanding that public servants serve you...Build up community support groups now...Fill the holes where the govt fails--schools, libraries, etc. Be a good neighbor and look out for those getting hurt." --Dr @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
Do you think part of anti-vax propaganda is to obscure the link between air pollution and autism, as Trump closed ALL environmental justice offices and is gutting the Clean Air Act? Like anti-climate science, could anti-vax be partially or mostly funded by fossil fuel or other industry?
Creativity, compassion, community engagement are the antidote to the present cruelty and rising authoritarianism. Be proactive rather than reactive. Please follow expert on authoritarianism Dr @sarahkendzior.bsky.social for expert analysis and good advice on moving forward with clarity & compassion.
These big tech companies have no bottom. They work for Israeli military committing genocide and for US Pentagon. Their services are cheese in a giant surveillance mousetrap being built up around us.
Yes, also Amazon routers, Alexa/Echo, doorbell cams are part of mass surveillance. What the big tech companies are doing in Gaza they will do here: use their AI & cloud to serve govt to target whoever the govt wants to imprison/kill, with 10% error rate. They are all Pentagon contractors as well.
For many, public transit isn't an option — it's their only choice. My Freedom to Move Act with @markey.senate.gov would make fare-free transit a reality, build on successful pilot programs in Boston & MA, and help folks access essential resources like jobs, school, child care, & more.
Nearly 1 in 4 civilian federal workers are veterans, meaning they are being disproportionately hurt by Trump’s workforce cuts. And contrary to the idea that Trump is purging D.C. bureaucrats, the vast majority of federal employees ― more than 80% of them ― work outside of the D.C. area.
The Defense Dept has lost more federal employees this year than any department: More than 55,000 civilian employees. The Treasury Dept is second, having lost more than 30,000 people. The Dept of Agriculture is third. It lost more than 21,000 people.
My mindset is this: I will take actions to keep trans people informed and help them not lose heart, and actions to preserve trans knowledge in the face of censorship and suppression. I take actions in this vein every single day, and look for ways to do it more, more creatively, or better.
When you are using ChatGPT, it could be a person on the other end. Govt can target any user they want. They are putting these in schools & universities. It is the largest propaganda/surveillance/influence campaign in human history, & can target entire populations or just one individual.

And like relatives, some days it's gonna be a love fest & other days thunderdome. There are good relatives, bad relatives & some relatives we don't even claim depending on the day but we're all stuck with each other & our survival hinges us on us learning to be good, mildly dysfunctional relatives.
I don't expect anyone to assimilate to my identity, to speak my languages, to have the same cultures or traditions in order for me to see who they are and accept them because despite the vast differences that may exist between us, there are also universal commonalities that connect us all.
But also what you should really sit with is why you can't see another's humanness, why you can't accept them as a person unless they assimilate to your identity, your language, your culture and traditions or lack thereof.

In addition to Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, OpenAI is integral to Israel's genocide in Gaza and West Bank: www.972mag.com/microsoft-az... These companies are all Pentagon contractors as well. Microsoft and OpenAI also just "partnered" with the 2 largest teachers unions in US...

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
His words are truer than ever 9 years later: This Irish leader called Trump a fascist as soon as he was declared the winner 1st term. (Pres. Carter said Russia helped install Trump 1st term, & he was never a legitimate potus.)
Yes, we can feel this in our bones. We're living in a system that rewards & cultivates abuse, more with each passing day. "It is very difficult to live outside this system and separate it from social life..." We have to keep trying for the younger generations. Build back this sinking ship better ❤️
New Q & A is up! Trump, Vance, Epstein, Gaza, Big Tech, and lots more: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/mafia-stat...
When you are using ChatGPT, it could be a person on the other end. Govt can target any user they want. They are putting these in schools & universities. It is the largest propaganda/surveillance/influence campaign in human history, & can target entire populations or just one individual.
Trump's stable of tech ceos don't care if someone, or tens of thousands of innocent people, are murdered in cold blood, whether in Gaza or US.
Open AI (which is a Pentagon contractor; has an executive who was just made Lt Colonel in military's new AI unit; partnered w 2 major teachers' unions to put AI in classrooms; & is assisting genocide in Gaza) may be doing MK Ultra-type experiments. Who knows if it is AI or a govt agent chatting?
During her "interview," apparently unprompted, Ghislaine Maxwell said RFK used to go on trips with Epstein. He has too many skeletons in his closet to sleep well at night. And maybe is being blackmailed like Epstein's other friends are.
NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.
That kind of hurt eats at folks And it is one of the reasons that we have worse health outcomes Just managing the emotional reaction does a lot to you, physically
We spend so much time talking about the harms of systemic racism and I think sometimes we don’t allow ourselves to take a moment to say, actually it’s personally, emotionally hurtful
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has 'set us back decades' by firing experts working on infectious disease prevention, Rep. Rosa DeLauro said.
We forget how old Trump is. He grew up under McCarthyism. McCarthy's lawyer Roy Cohn then was Trump's mentor when Trump was young. Project MK Ultra was happening then too. These are the same people. Manafort was bringing his mafia tactics to the GOP since the 1980s. He grew up GOP- & mafia-tied.
Manafort said in a session at a crypto conference last Dec that he is the man closest to Trump. He is dividing & weakening US for Putin as he did in Ukraine for Putin, leading up to annexation of Crimea in 2014. Then he came here to "volunteer" for Trump campaign. They already knew each other well.
The racist, murderous underbelly of US politics is in charge now, out in the open, a celebration of violence & sadism from racist firings; to HHS on a mission to spread disease; to mass surveillance; to extreme funding of DHS; to destroying higher ed & our food supply, etc. Mc Carthyism on steroids.

I don't know of anything more alarming than a US private/govt surveillamce system used to assasinate civilians in a genocide with our govt's support, then same/similar systems being deployed to surveil us & our children's classrooms. Be alarmed. A company & govt with no bottom to what they'll do

Open AI is an arm of this fascist govt. Was recently given a Pentagon contract; is providing AI for Israel's genocide in Gaza; is partnering with 2 of largest teachers unions in US to put AI in classrooms. In the article, the bot sounds like some kind of Project MK Ultra.
It’s somewhat shocking, although not surprising, that RFK was never briefed by CDC experts since becoming HHS Secretary — he’s just operating off of vibes from biased quacks.
Whitey Bulger, Unabomber, Charles Manson were victims of MK Ultra. Bulger & Manson were given LSD; Unabomber was a student in an experiment where they had to write their deepest beliefs & then the professor destroyed them. It wasn't that long ago. Now using Pentagon contractor AI to destroy minds.

This is a deadly mass surveillance/social control machine. The executives have no conscience. OpenAI is an arm of this fascist regime.
My grandfather also wants to pass along the message that RFK Jr. is destroying one of the prime achievements of American medicine. This is something he knows well, given the decades of his life he dedicated to medicine, to the scientific pursuits, and to helping research new treatments for diseases.
